  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nikki Haley lost me when she started talking about raising the retirement age. Christie is a hired hitman out for Trump, Pence... nah, Vivek is not ready for prime time.
I didn't watch it either...

I watched it .... no value in it ... these debates are basically mud slinging contests .... there is not enough time for candidates to fully put forth their leadership ideas. People need to go find actual interviews (several of them) of the various candidates and not rely on these debates for voting purposes.

I agree. Everyone is in search of the zinger to get replayed on the 24hour news cycle.
I think that Rick Warren had the right idea to allow candidates to get their message out. Have individual interviews answering the same questions.
