Barbara, I don't think it would look bad, if played right. CF45 doesn't play by any rulebook, and 'Brandolini's Law' (see above) states that in a debate, refuting a deliberate mistruth takes 10x as long as the original lie. There would be little room for dialog, as I see it. CF45 is a unique character known for lying regularly with impunity. It would be a Herculean task to clean out the manure from the stable (stable genius? He's far from it.)
And have moderators who actually moderate, rather than just ask questions. When the 🍊💩 started off, "let me go back..." Tapper should have said "no, we covered that topic, we're moving on, please answer the question I just asked" (Thanks to Ally House for info on how to use laptop emojis--I can't bear to even type his name)
I was worried from the very beginning when the moderators were announced. Tapper never pushed back on his show when people were spouting lies and Bash is a weak figure at best. Plus CNN is FOX light.

That would look bad on the Biden camp. The rules must change. Allow for fact checking.

Excellent points Doug. then what to do if cancelling the debate is not an option?
