Alternatively, I agree with this commentor on how the interviewer did a great job at conducting a political interview (best I've seen to be honest)

Based upon this vid and other vids including her, I would go further and say that Ms. Williams is a good interviewer. She allows the guests to talk and acts as a catalyst to further the conversation.

As always, Mr. McKeever does an excellent job inserting reason into the discussion.

Here's a gist of the video from one of the commentors:

ALL candidates should be invited to the debate. Period.

The reason that some individual candidates run for election is to provide questions that they know will never be asked by the Big 3.

The incumbents and powerful parties should NOT have the right to shut down discussion before it even starts because they are afraid they can't respond disingenuously without some spin doctor's planted auto-response.

A REAL democratic leader wants more information about others' opinions, not less.
