Will the moderator’s mic be cut at the same time?
Or, will the moderator be allowed to interrupt?

When Biden interrupts DJT, DJT will be silenced;
When DJT interrupts Biden, DJT will be silenced.

notice the pattern?

You have 2 minutes. Use it. Slam him, piss him off, then step back while he mumbles. Don’t let the moderator interrupt you. It’s your two minutes.

That’s what the silence button is for - to stop DJT from going on about some not-approved topic (like foreign policy) and to shut him up when Bidet interrupts. Its not ‘his 2 minutes’, its the moderators and Bidet’s when he interrupts.

Biden tells twelve lies.

Trump gets one minute to address them.

Bidet interrupts in the first 15 seconds and the moderator presses the DJT silence button.

Worse than you thought.

Its all staged for biden, all of it, he has the questions he has his answers and they will edit trumps responses. small responses will be the best, like in 47 months I did more than he did in 47 years

Nope - he will use his time to bring up that which the commission “moderator” won’t bring up.

We need to start having REAL Presidential debates rather than these phony made for TV BS ones. Why is there a need for a moderator at all? Who moderated the Lincoln-Douglas debates? Just let the candidates go out and talk about whatever they see fit. Let them ask questions directly to each other. If it turns into a free for all, so be it; let the voters decide who’s to blame and vote accordingly.

Barring that, why can’t we have co-moderators? Drop this BS pretense that the moderator is unbiased and just let each candidate pick a co-moderator. The moderator picked by the GOP candidate would ask ALL questions directed to the Dem candidate and vice-versa. I have no problem with a hostile moderator asking our candidate tough questions, but the Dem candidate should get similar treatment. Also, if they’re going to mute mics then the ones that should be muted are the moderators’ mics when they aren’t asking questions. The debate should be about what the candidates have to say, not the moderators.

Don’t bet the Farm on a RIGGED ELECTION, THAT GOT US CARTER.

The 38th United States president, Ford has the distinction of being the first, and to date the only person to serve as president without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. His presidency ended following his defeat in the 1976 presidential election by Democrat Jimmy Carter.

Why don’t they have Lincoln-Douglas debates? Because the Democrats could not cheat by getting the questions in advance, and would not have biased moderators (cheerleaders) to cover for them as always happens, most famously with Candy Crowley destroying Romney with her lies which she managed to make look authoritative to help Obama. And don’t forget Donna Brazille giving Hillary the questions in advance. The democrats need to cheat to win debates and at the ballot box!
