Who? Trump? Ignore buzzer? Naaah.... LOL
If you wonder why Bret is standing in the little puddle, I guess the reason is Trump at the debate.
(PS: if time is adhered to, I'd think it'll be advantage Trump. Can you imagine most of the others putting a coherent thought together and responding quickly?)
They should put each participant in a sound-proof booth. When their time is up their mic shuts off.
FOX “News” BIAS, again.
Now wonder FOX is now as hated as Boehner, Rove,
McConnell and McCain (the IRS attacker).
Leave it to the little GOPe puppet to smear Trump before the debate that he’s moderating!
You’d think Fox would know by now what NOT to say.
fox gopE connection?
It's only funny because it's true.

Why would Bret single Trump out when the stage is filled with professional Gas Bags.
Bret, Your Fired, Trump is a man of such short phrases
Do the quick math: rough calculation..120 minutes...take off 15 minutes for s few commercials and the introductions and explanations, rules, etc..at the beginning..that’s 105 minutes left. Each one gets 60 seconds for an opening and closing statement.. that’s 85 minutes left...each question will take at least 30 seconds to pose..allow 1 minute for a reply..30 seconds for a rebuttal..if every one gets a question, that’s like no time to do/say anything..
Totally agree. As if Trump has not had to make presentations within a certain timeframe. Trump has met with heads of state, politicians of all kinds, made presentation after presentation and he has won consistently.
Trump is the most prepared guy of all of them because the last 30 years have prepared him for the US presidency.
The post-debate spin will certainly be anti-Trump, across 99% of the media.
Totally agree there too. I am honestly not sure what the debates are supposed to do. Most important they are not debates at all. I suspect that Trump is looking for every advantage to elbow and bury his competitors. He has competed on too many projects to simply sit around some stupid debate so he can be noticed.
If anything he has already figured out how he wants to play it so that he walks away with all the prize money at the end of the day.
This from a Fox News social commentator that rambles on endlessly.
I don’t know how much time candidates are going to be given to answer a question, but note that Judge Andrew Napolitano took considerably less than three minutes to read each clause in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution
I suppose that a candidate can fill up the alloted time by also reading the Supreme Court’s clarification of the limits of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers and limits on Congress's power to lay taxes.
”State inspection laws, laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
