My feeling is it would be more beneficial to the independent non-affiliated voter to see a debate between all candidates for POTUS and the ideological differences between parties.  Right now both parties can promise you the moon with no counterpoint mentioned.  An inter-party debate would offer a unique view to the various sides of an issue and provide for a much more informed voter.  Discuss.

 I'm all for it. Maybe a lottery system, randomly pair some up in a series of debates...
