Most of the questions that are asked are by brainwashed college students that don't vote anyway. or the questions aren't serious

Yes, because it gives the organizer of the event a great chance to make a certain segment of the population look foolish. . case in point, the recent debate where a fellow holding an AR-15 and refers to it as "his baby" just reinforces the stereotype that gun owners are a bunch of foolish backwoods ignoramuses. .
That idiot did more damage to the cause by appearing to be a fool. Most sensible people who own guns know that the idiot does not represent gun owners, but to liberals and anti gun activists, he was perfect to get the message that gun owners are a bunch of idiots.
If the people asking the questions use a modicum of common sense, it can be a good thing, But there are always fools such as the one I mentioned.
Hope this helps

I would love to see debates where the candidates aren't given the question in advance. Or don't plant questions that they want to have asked. But since the media is in collusion with politicians this is very unlikely to happen.

The last one was a complete waste of time. On another point about that, isn't it funny that the Reps. will let CNN moderate tonights debate, but the Dems won't show up for a FOX moderated event?

so far there has only been one good debate and it was the Travis smiley PBS black caucus , the rest of them really have been a waste of time, more press conference than debate.
