We have a lot of serious issues. Get the fluff out of the way and talk about the real issues. Maybe Bernie, by posing those questions, can reveal that Biden is in fact very acceptable to Bernie Sanders and his supporters. Win-win.
Why should "moderators" be the only ones who ask candidates questions? Well, they are not, in our social media age, they are taking questions from people online too. We've seen the level of comments online. They often degenerate into the sewer.
Why not allow the debaters to ask a few questions before the debate? I think it's rather a great idea.
