The Commission on Presidential Debates reported on Friday that there were in fact issues with Donald Trump’s microphone at the Debate Monday evening at Hofstra university in New York.
Following the debate, Trump told the press that they “gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room,” CNN reports. Trump posed the question: “Was that on purpose?”
While it may be too early to call it anything other than a technical malfunction, the Commission on Presidential Debates said “there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.”

And loaded notepad, hand signals to Holt for rescue, softball questions.... Jeez she all the help she could ask for.
Agreed. There is absolutely no excuse for Trump to let this occur. He should send his tech people in to physically end-to-end his lectern to ensure it can ONLY BE SABOTAGE, once such things occur. This unacceptable by Trump at this stage of the game.
Truer words were never said. And the tsunami of dirty tricks will be delivered Chinese water drop style over the next 35 days.
And the moderator was messed up too.
Brilliant move by Trump for letting this play out like this. Confirmation bias for the rigger system narrative.
Rigged.
They had the gain up on his mic to enhance every bodily noise. F’ing scumbag criminals. There needs to be repercussions.
Our media and government are corrupt and need replaced.
And she STILL lost.
They probably not allowed to check it out. They probably agreed to let the NBC sound engineers to do the mic check!
Under 12 seconds
In other words, Trump’s motto for these debates should be: “Don’t trust, and verify”. Why the stupid Republicans allow this bunch at the Commission on Presidential Debates (a bunch of far left Clintonites and a few token DC establishment Republicans like Fahrenkopf and Danforth) to run the debates is beyond me. I would walk down the street with them only if I could keep my eyes on what they are doing constantly.
I saw him at a campaign event (video) on Fox the next day and he sounded like he had the beginnings of a cold. Maybe just me, but he didn't sound quite the same, and, to me, sounded like someone who might be fighting off a cold. -- But yeah, Howard, let's go with cocaine.
Remember how Al Gore kept sighing during his and G.W. Bush’s debates and how it aggravated viewers?
Maybe they were trying to annoy people in the same way by tampering with Trump’s mic.
We need to insist on “No ‘moderator”” debates. Let the candidates ask questions and give talks with rebuttals
Only a timekeeper and a parliamentarian are required.
Why agree to idiots like Holt or Crowley? Holt is nothing more than a career Affirmative Action recipient, who’s only talent is reading a TelePrompTer. Crowley. Is the same. And those “questions”? GMAB. What ratings-seeking juvenile comes up with those?
When are we going to hear real questions, about real concerns? Not from a ratings-hungry, biased MSM. That’s why we get this nonsense about the fat beauty queen. Why not then ask HilLIAR about reports of her condescending attitude towards the Secret Service, and the multitude of scandals that have followed her and BillyBoy for decades? Email? Benghazi? Reports of her racist and anti Semitic rants and name calling?
Cmon Trump, don’t play their stupid games. Go after her lack of record, lack of character and integrity, and respond to her silly accusations with those attributed to her. Include her sickening racial pandering as a retaliation to her false accusations of “racist, sexist”. Her enabling of Billy’s sexual abuse and ask point blank, is it these two you really want to see in the WH again?
These bastards can be beaten at their own game regardless of the attempts to stack the deck by the elitist hypocrites and unAmericans.
Debate Commission sabotages Trump. Freeper verdict: it’s Trump’s fault.
Trump has post nasal drip just like I do. If you don’t take Claritin or something you sniff or you blow your nose constantly. Trump is probably like me and hates to take pills so we sniff or carry a Kleenex.
Rush mentioned in passing, but assigned it to the "I don't want to go there" category.
Rigged
The bias just gets more and more disgraceful by the day
