that with every debate the questions just seem to get worse and worse.  Zero questions on Medicare.  Who-knows-how-long on moon colonies.  Why should your wife be the best  First Lady?  What job would you give Marco Rubio (it wasn’t phrased that way but . . . )?  The candidates are complicit.  They could move the debate to more important issues if they wanted to.
