Hysterics broke out due to personas believing that the moderators are too "mainstream" and aren't going to be able to challenge the presidential candidates well enough. The fact that Candy Crowley (CNN) wasn't even recognized for being the first female presidential debate moderator in 20 years completely is mind-boggling. The moderators would not have been selected if they hadn't deserved the acknowledgement of being an achieving journalist and spokesperson.
I guess I should be referring to Mr. Schieffer's nickname in the field... "Schieff" has been the favorable moderator from the beginning of deciding who the moderators would most likely be. I am excited to watch the debate Mr. Schieffer will be moderating especially since I never have really watched a presidential debate before. With TCU being on of my biggest passions in life it is amazing to be able to match a face and a name to the horned frog symbol.
These are the people that inspire me as a horned frog to achieve my dreams. These role models allow current students to shoot high for the stars in all of the classes they take in order to say "yes I attained my goal." I think that is what I enjoy most about TCU. Professors, peers, and faculty all want to see you as a person, not a student, succeed in life no matter what your GPA or involvement in extra curricular activities entail. I wonder if Mr. Schieffer ever thought that he was going to be interviewing the presidential candidates and helping them run a successful debate. It fascinates me that he too was studying the same skill sets I am trying to obtain in my courses now when he was a sophomore at Texas Christian University.
I have two words for y'all:
GO FROGS
