How to make Republican TV debates interesting:
First, get rid of the Christian reconstruction crowd (Cruz, Huckabee, Santorum, Jindal). Then get rid of the non-politicians who think their first job in government should be the most important government job on the planet (Trump, Carson, Fiorina). Next, get rid of the people who are repulsive (Cruz again, Walker, Rand Paul, Christie, Graham). Then get rid of Pataki and Gilmore because most people don't even know they're running. Finally, make sure Rick Perry is not allowed to rejoin the race.
If my count is accurate, that leaves Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Marco Rubio. Those are the only three Republicans in the race who might have an occasional sane thought, who actually understand how government works, and who might be electable in November 2016. At that point, America could start taking the Republican Party seriously again, and the debates would stop being a Three Stooges slapstick comedy.
