His hubris tells him he can handle anything and it could cost him the election

Oh stop. The President would be slammed either way...if he backs out of a second debate or if he goes forward with it. His best choice is to go forward and try to make lemonade out of very sour lemons.

Mute the Mod’s mic

I disagree entirely, the biased debate commission has inadvertently helped Trump even though neither one of them is aware of it. After Trump's performance in the first debate, we can only hope that he refrains from alienating every suburban housewife in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Wisconsin with interruptions during those periods of the debate in which he is possessed of a live mic.

You watch. Trump will talk over the muted mic and they will black out the debate untilTrump stops talking. All questions will go to Trump and will be questions based on false premises. He will have to prove it false and then answer it. That cannot be done in 2 minutes. They will ask Biden fewer questions and he’s already been provided with them. His dealings with Hunter and China will not be mentioned.
In Oregon last night, they blocked a Trump commercial and substituted a toilet paper commercial!

“If you noticed last time, according to Chris Wallace, he interrupted the president and me 148 times,” Biden added.

Why can't The President Mute the Moderators mic???

Biden isn’t going to be the one in power. That’s obvious.

Just use your two minutes to go on about how Biden took a cut of every deal Hunter did for him and watch him squirm

Wait, Biden did an interview, and they didn’t ask him the elephant in the room question?

Scott Adams agrees with you—says that this will help Trump and will have the unintended effect of making Trump appear more “presidential” (not interrupting) which some undecided voters may want to see in order to feel more “comfortable” voting for him.

Trump should just do what Pence did—use the next question to go back and respond to the prior question and counter any lies Biden makes.

It would be a good idea if it was to mute the Democrat moderator for the entire debate.

Anything that sounds like censorship makes tingles run up and down Democrat’s legs.

Trump is walking straight into an ambush.

Obviously, but President Trump has been fearlessly walking into ambushes every day during his presidency. He has been the point man 24/7 facing unbelievable opposition even from those supposedly his political allies. But he fights back and is a strong man with the Good Lord and patriotic Americans on his side.

He Joe. You were the first to try interrupting and you got smacked in the gob with a left uppercut and a right roundhouse for it. And then it was constant body blows after that. So yeah, turning your mike off and letting the other guy speak is a great idea.

It’s not a debate because Biden has nothing to debate why even bother with it.
He’s already proved how goofy he is and has nothing to offer except another Obama rerun crash.

Pres. Trump should hire a lip reader to tell us what SloJo says when his mic is turned off.

Yep, as the (nominal) leader of the Cancel Culture Party he would naturally be delighted.
