EXCERPT:
SMERCONISH: “CNN asked me to go to the Reagan Library in the 2016 cycle just to be one of the, you know, commentators talking about that debate. It was the year that there were so many candidates that they had a junior varsity squad and two debates. Those debates with 10 people, eight people, even six people are ridiculous. There's no substance offered. You can't offer substance in 90 seconds. We ought to imitate March madness. You know, the NCAA brackets? Let everybody go one-on-one. Not as an elimination round, per se, but you really get to see these individuals and learn.”
