Bernie's idea of debating repugs would make a great reality series!

Since Americans seem to be glued to their tee vees, this is a no brainer. Some network or cable channel could do this easily, and since it would be unscripted, they'd save on hiring writers.

Imagine -- one hour every week devoted to both sides getting together to discuss real issues that concern Americans. All announced candidates participating, teleprompters not allowed, questions from the audience for part of the show. No interrupting each other, same amount of time allotted to all participants, just like in the final debates.

I sense ratings bigger than sports shows, and, more importantly, an informed public.

I know GOPigs would be against it, and maybe some candidates on the Democratic side as well, but it would be much more entertaining than C-SPAN and would even draw in those who consider politics like a game of football.
