The only reason I can think of for a time delay is so that technical geniuses can substitute something for Biden’s missteps. Perhaps not change his words, but eliminate his staring into space dementia type pauses The debate will be simulcast on many outlets so the total time has to be the same. I do not trust CNN at all.
This debate should be broadcast live exactly like C-SPAN does congressional hearings.
The time delay is for their editing and to prevent Trump from saying what needs to be said.
I wonder how much time it now takes to pull off the seemingly impossible job that they think that they are doing hoodwinking the majority?
