9pm EST is unfortunately 2am BST, so while I thought about staying up to
watch at least some of the first debate - something I've done in the past -
this time around I'm pretty glad that I didn't completely disrupt my
sleeping patterns for the "shitshow" that emerged.
I can't bring myself to watch the whole thing, but I do wonder whether a
moderator needs to really take on a strict teacher role and not feel
subservient. My room, my rules. I sometimes wonder whether the traditional
deference ("Mr President...") that reporters and interviewers give to the
President has to change.
