I utterly disagree. When the first words out of Biden's mouth is a lie about Trump, under the rules of every deliberative body in the world, Trump has an immediate right to counter and defend himself and under most, the scurrilous jerk who puts about slander is sanctioned and denied a further forum.

Then for the so-called moderator to attempt to defend the lie, shut up the protestation about the lie and perpetrate his own lies, interrupting Trump all the time and Biden never is also against any defensible view of how "reasoned" debate is conducted and moderated.

I for one am very proud of OUR PRESIDENT not sitting back and letting Joe and Chris run the show. Trump is the President of the USA and there should be respect for the office. What Joe and Chris did only shows how much respect they have for the Presidency itself. Also I think what everyone is missing, Our President was going around Chris and Joe and talking to his voters and potential voters to get the word out which he did. MAGA2020

If they do this, then Trump should not debate. He is the duly elected representative of the people, and he should not be silenced. Share this post and BOYCOTT THE DEBATES! Make the networks lose big money if they do this! BOYCOTT THE DEBATES!!

How ‘bout something like a chess timer?

The timers is reset. The Moderator asks a question to a candidate (then shuts up!). The candidate addressed hits his timer button and can talk until time runs out or he hits the button again.

At that point the second candidate can hit his button and respond until he is done or his timer runs out.

IF the first candidate still has time remaining, he can respond.

And back and forth it goes until both candidates are out of time. Then clocks are reset and the next question is asked.

Microphones only work if the candidates timer is running.

Maybe start with 5 minutes per candidate per question? That way they can get up to 6 questions in an hour.

And the moderator’s microphone should shut off while a candidates mike is active!

RULE CHANGE to allow BIDEN the opportunity to read the text without any distraction:

“BUSTED: Here is the contact lens system Joe Biden used last night which acted as his teleprompter. It acts as “teleprompter—in your eyeball”.

No.
Way.

Dems can’t win, so they always try to change the rules.

Their MO.

Moderator: “Vice President Biden what did you have for breakfast”?”

VPB: “I had blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.”

Moderator: “Mr Trump, what do you think of the nuclear treaty with North Korea, given that they can hit he us with their hydrogen bombs, and the American public has no bomb shelters on your watch?”

POTUS: “There is no” ... (moderator hits mute button).

Moderator: “Mr. Trump, we will not allow you to spread falsehoods since the American public deserves the truth.”

Moderator: “Vice President Biden, what do you think about Mr. Trumps’ answer to the North Korean problem?”

VPB: “I had blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Furthermore, I had a nice bunch of fries for lunch and my dog has fleas; Jill will take care of it like I told her.”

Moderator: “Excellent answer Mr. Vice President Biden!”
