Washington — The commission that oversees the general election presidential debates said Wednesday it will be making changes to the format of the remaining two debates. One key change it plans to implement: Cutting off the microphones of President Trump and Joe Biden if they break the rules, according to a source familiar with the commission's deliberations. The plans have not been finalized and the commission is still considering how it would carry out the plan.

Hey, put red and green lights, too.
Are they going to check if Biden is wearing a microphone?
Will they cut off the mic of the moderator WHEN he goes off the rails?
And who decides who broke the rules and when?
I can see this one coming a mile away....Trump breaks the rules ALL NIGHT LONG and Biden maybe once to keep us from screaming too much.
No more debates ever. Enough stupidity please.
Why don’t they get rid of the moderator.
I was hoping Trump would say keep out if this Wallace, you’re not needed.
They can’t allow Biden’s audio feed to Biden speech to be interrupted.
When Trump interrupts, the men behind the curtain can’t react fast enough to save the Joester.

What an insult it would be to shut off the mic of the president of the United States during a debate.
You’re right. No more debates.
Very few, if any elections were won based on debates.
.... Wallass broke his own “rules”.
Wallass, as PREDICTED would not let them DEBATE
because Wallass and FOX “news” had Agendae.
How about picking a moderator who is not a known liberal biased political hack, from the biased liberal media.
I figured it would be mod vs Trump and it was more blatant and worse than I imagined possible
Time for Trump to boycott the debates already.
He already won the first one and we will win in November, debates or no debates.
If they decide to do this, I wouldn’t debate. Just call it off. Trump is the duly elected representative of the people, and he should not be silenced. Period.
Well they will have to do something to make the thing even watchable.
The big loser of this is the dignity of the USA. Our enemies are emboldened by the obscenity of what we saw last night.
With all sorts of media 24/7 and social media, each party can very thoroughly get their message out and be deciphered by the public.
The left sure does love censorship. DJT will absolutely make sure we hear him, regardless of what stunt they try.
Just put timers on them.
Sounds like a Childish and Unprofessional thing to do in a Presidential Debate
