I don't think we wand the moderators to control what kind of information
the candidates offer. It is up to the voters to reward or punish candidates
who choose to offer less information. Indeed, I think we are seeing
evidence that this is what is happening; most observers thought that Trump

Again, I think the information content in a typical presidential debate is

"debate" to refer to these events, even if they are not quite Oxford style.
