Senator Cruz, you get to ask one question of the candidate of your choice. That candidate gets 2 minutes to respond. Then anyone else who wants get one minute. Then Senator Paul, you get to ask one question of the candidate of your choice. Same format until every candidate has asked one question. Then come back for second round, same format, with provision that every candidate has to ask the question of someone different from first round. Then third round, same format. Every round, every candidate has to ask the question of someone that he/she has not questioned before. Go as many rounds as you can.
Letting George Stephanopoulos, for example, ask questions at a republican debate is simply asking for problems.
If the format is as you suggest, then Trump does well. If the moderator asks the questions, he does poorly.

I think that should always be the format of all candidate debates. The media types have no business in the spotlight. From everything I've ever read, that's the way Lincoln and Douglas did it in 1856, and I don't know why we would ever do it differently.

The first bold section answers the second.
