Hey @KBSpangler, here is my idea for next debate:
I'm of the opinion that the candidates should wear shock collars with the moderator holding one remote for illegal interruptions and other rules of the debates that (cont)
are broken. No I'm not for instant fact checking because that shouldn't be up to the moderators or a panel of experts. It should be up to the opponent to call the other out for any thing that say that is bullshit. (cont)
Further, if an opponent calls bullshit, they must properly say exactly what they feel was bulshit and give their statement on what the they believe the truth actually is. The opponent will not be allowed to just say, That is a lie" or "That is fake news", (cont)
they must call bullshit, and properly refute the exclaimed bullshit, else they will be the ones shocked by the moderator for improper calling of bullshit. Finally, any candidate who is shocked three times will be given a 'time out' in the Pool of Piranhas, (cont)
starting at 30 seconds for first offence and 30 seconds more for each subsequent offence. Points are awarded for clear, concise answers that don't illicit calls of bullshit and for staying under the allotted two minutes given to answer. (cont)
The opponent with the fewest points at the end of the debate will be stripped naked, tarred and feathered and then led out into the streets where they will be paraded through the streets with the actress Hannah Waddingham there, (cont)
dressed up as she was on Game of Thrones walking in front of them, ringing her bell and shouting "SHAME" for 3 blocks.

Whatcha think?
Oh and re-reading this, I realize that this illustrates a very good reason that you need an editor to correct errors from cut-n-pasting too fast, like @KBSpangler can do! Oh and Twitter really needs an edit button for tweets. :)
