What questions do you want to hear at GOP debate?

If you could pose a question to the candidates, what would you ask?

Donald Trump announces that he seek the Republican nomination for president, in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York in June.

From which candidates will participate, to where they will stand, to how many seconds they have to speak, today's political debates are meticulously choreographed.

But no matter how intensively each candidate rehearses, there remains one giant unknown about the debate, which airs Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox News, namely, what the questions will be.

Fox News will ultimately determine debate topics, which will likely include questions about the recent Planned Parenthood controversy, the economy, foreign policy, and national security. 

If average Americans were running the debate, what would they ask?

According to a Gallup assessment of what people say are the most important problems facing the country today, Americans would want to know how the candidates would fix the economy, deal with record-low confidence in Congress, improve race relations, handle immigration, and create jobs.

A similar survey by Rasmussen Reports found the economy, job creation, healthcare, government spending, and education to be the top five most important issues to likely voters.

What would the candidates ask each other? Six candidates have weighed in, posting videos on Facebook, which is partnering with Fox News in the debate, posing questions to their rivals.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee asked, "Do you believe the recent ruling on same-sex marriage is the law of the land?"

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham asked "How would you degrade and destroy ISIL without American ground forces?" And former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina asked, "How would each of you challenge Hillary Clinton?"

Now, members of the public can get in on the debate. Facebook is asking folks to submit a photo representing needed change in America, post a comment on the Facebook page, or upload a video of themselves asking a question.

And CNN has invited people to submit questions via Twitter with the hashtag #DebateQuestionsWeWantToHear.

If you could pose a question to the candidates in Thursday night's debate, what would it be?

From the sincere to the sarcastic, here are eight of the questions Twitter users want to hear Thursday night:

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
