Bring back the Lincoln-Douglas debates

The “non-bartisan” Debate Commission will provide, for the third time, a Democrat partisan to moderate the next debate. Why do Republicans tolerate this? Let’s return to the glory days of political debating, the Lincoln - Douglas battles.

The format back then was 60 minutes given to the first speaker, 90 minutes to the second, then another 30 minutes to the first. Can you imagine Biden trying to speak coherently for 90 minutes? We know Trump can, because he can go on for 2, 2 1/2 hours at his rallies, but Slo Joe? It’d be a cruelly amusing spectacle.

But so what? The current format is a ridiculous exercise in Democrat abuse of their opponents.
