Summary
Kristen Welker is getting high praise from all quarters for keeping order in the debate but should that be the standard? The NY Times is calling Angela Davis one of "The Greats". I disagree.

| 0:00.0 | Why are we being denied the truth? The moderator in yesterday's debate was not |
| 0:05.8 | interested in the truth. She was interested in controlling the kids in the |
| 0:09.4 | class to make sure they didn't throw spitballs at each other and they didn't scream at each other. |
| 0:14.2 | But we didn't get to the bottom of any issues. |
