Moderators are incompetent hacks with no political knowledge.
They should have a panel of the top general, most recent american economic Nobel laureate (or some equivalent), most recently retired surgeon general and attorneys general write the questions which are then presented by a moderator, then the author of each question responds to their answers and if required asks a single follow up question to each debator.
also give them the authority to mute a candidate’s mic for breaking rules, like talking over someone else when they don’t have the floor. perhaps you can have a separate umpire type character. record what’s going in the mic and release it 7 days later for transparency but don’t let it get messy
