So anytime Trump speaks, he gets muted?

I like the idea though only because it will show viewers how awful and conniving the media is and make them more steadfast to vote for Trump.

I think this actually helps Trump. His biggest mistake in the last debate was not letting Biden talk. And the longer Biden talks the worse he looks.

Here’s the question though. If both sides agree to a format where each side gets a certain number of minutes to talk and the person on the other side interrupts the person who is talking and does not abide by the rules they agree to, what do you think should be done? If this is to have any value, you can’t have them screaming over each other.

Not so bad, will let Biden bury himself with his answers. Then Trump can call out the lies and boost his achievements to counter. Also he will kill Joe during the segments after where they just go at each other.

the point is Biden can flip off anytime he wants and he won't get muted.

Each candidate's mic should be cut when their time has elapsed. There should be a live play clock that all can see. The last debate was a farce.

As long as they aren’t cutting trump off when it is his time to speak because he is “telling lies” or “off topic” I’m fine with the mute.

Why are you guys so scared? Worried that Trump will be exposed, without the opportunity to interrupt Joe every 5 seconds?


I was actually thinking that, assuming it is fairly applied, it is an advantage for Trump to sit back and let Joe trip over his droopy old balls like he always does.

But will there be a mute button on the moderator's microphone? Fair is fair.

Trump will not agree to this nor should he

Actually no this is probably a ploy to get Trump to pull out so Biden doesn't have to face the music. Game on. Call their bluff and make Biden cancel at the 11th hour.

We all know that Trump will have to spend his 2 min response debating the moderator since he will be interrupted constantly just like every debate by the moderator unlike his opponent.

In if they hand it to Trump when he’s speaking and it shuts the count “moderator” up.

After the candidates finish their two-minute replies, they would be allowed to freely engage with one another for the remainder of the segment. (The debate is divided into six segments of 15 minutes apiece.)




They gray area is if the moderator just moves on to the next question In that segment after that 2 min has expired and denies debate. Bidens BS would go I challenged

What do the rules say about the moderator being on one teams side and debating one of the candidates?
