Candidates for any elected political position are not required to attend a debate with opponents. With that said, the current system of debates is ludicrous. The only fair way to conduct a debate and to give each candidate equal time to speak is to pose the same policy question to each candidate and have each candidate give his or her answer to the question. Currently, for both parties, that idea is not followed.Also, if a candidate is asked a question, that question is the one that should be answered. That is not the case in either party's debate process.
