The point of raising the issue of Raddatz's prior relationship with the sitting president was one of transparency - and raising the issue of the mere possibility of impropriety - certainly not one of preparation or competence. To follow your Godfather routine..."I wanted you to see what she's got under her fingernails."

IMO, Raddatz interrupted Ryan a number of times when he was making his points. That is in the past. I do not blame the referee for the result. It is what it is.

I assume that she was prepared.

As for neutrality - MOO, I would have preferred that there be a Republican, a Democrat and a true Independent on that stage. If not an actual Democrat, Raddataz certainly possess many of the indicia of a Democrat.

With the dominance of 2 party politics - IMO, it might be interesting to watch a debate where a true independent questions/probes/exposes both sides. After all, both sides own the current shit that we are in.

I am not interested in some political "fluffer" from either party moderating such an important debate.

YMMV.
