Moderators Call Timeout To Huddle And Discuss Strategy With Kamala
Babylon Bee ^ | Sep 10, 2024 | Babylon Bee

U.S. — Midway through the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis called a timeout to discuss strategy with Harris.

"Um, excuse me, we'd like to take ten minutes please," said Muir to the candidates an hour into the debate. "Vice President Harris, would you please join us backstage for, um, a quick huddle? Should only take a second."

"RIGGED DEBATE!" cried Trump in protest as the moderators turned off his mic and went backstage with Kamala to rehearse her answers to the next round of questioning. "These are the worst moderators in history! No one has seen anything like this in the history of this country, maybe even the world. It's a disgrace!"

Several sources reported the three later emerged from their meeting and continued the debate. Witnesses claim Kamala downed a few glasses of wine before taking the stage once again.

At publishing time, David Muir had asked Trump the hard-hitting question: "Why are you a terrible person, Mr Trump, and how do you sleep at night?"

it was a kamala we have never seen before

its like she knew the questions before they were asked

it was an incredible performance

but remember

this is not a political campaign

it is a movie production

Boycott ABC.

I saw Lindsey Graham on TV tonight. He’ll be eating dinner Sunday after being on with George Stephanopoulos.

Boycott ABC.

“Why are you a terrible person, Mr Trump, and how do you sleep at night?”

Well, I got a mattress from mattress firm so I sleep (music sting) all night long....

Thank you for asking. The answer is: Naked, with a Supermodel.

All joking aside, was it in the rules that despite two breaks, they went for one whole hour before the first break, and then about 25 minutes before the second break just to come back for closing comments?

I thought (without any data suggesting otherwise) that they were going to trisect the debate into equal portions with these breaks. Did the moderators lose track of time an forget to call a break after 45 minutes or was it the plan to go for a full hour before taking a break?

Yeah, but I was reminded of the mattress firm ads.

So did I. It’s getting very hard to tell the difference between satire and news these days.

The Bee’s observation is pretty close to spot on.... but based on the timing of her mic being left on with her jumping in on barbs, it suggests that the ‘huddles’ all happened during Coup-malala’s so called ‘five days of debate prep’....

He strikes me as being more of a catcher than a pitcher.

Networks need to have the Babylon Bee on the lead into the networks nightly news casts as a heads up alert.
