Remember the 2008 NH primary debate, where they had the Republicans debate, and then the Democrats had their debate immediately after? But in between they brought the Democratic candidates on stage, so for a brief moment, you could see all the candidates running.
I think it would be interesting if we had a primary debate, with all the candidates in one debate. Surely, not beginning of the season, but maybe after Iowa or New Hampshire, when the field had been narrowed down.
For example, in 2008 right before Florida the line up left to right could have been:
Paul, Edwards, Huckabee, Clinton, McCain, Obama, Giuliani, Romney.
After Florida it could have been:
Paul, Huckabee, Clinton, McCain, Obama, Romney.
So in 2016, should we have a debate like this?
Also, would you prefer to seat them alternately, or all the Dems on one side, and the Reps on the other? Maybe we could have them face each other UK Parliament style
