I haven't watched the Dems' debates, because I already know what I need 
to know about what Hillary and Sanders stand for (in Hillary's case, 
doesn't stand), and won't be voting at their Caucus anyway, but you're 
sadly correct about ours.  Ben Carson gets practically zero time, 
because he's an intelligent gentleman and wants to talk issues, and 
doesn't attack anybody (besides being #4), and is naturally soft-spoken 
besides.  What actually _shows_, and overwhelms, of the GOP debates, is 
loudmouth hoodlums yelling at each other.
