I watched again tonight. Having ten candidates up there seems a little silly to me. Most of them have no chance whatsoever, and I question the need to have them there. It makes it look less like politics and more like a circus. It also makes it so that there’s less of a real debate and more of a “everyone clamoring to try and be heard and make an impression on the audience.” At least this one seemed to focus more on the major candidates, but I’d still prefer fewer candidates and more real debating. But maybe that’s just me.
