Are you referring to 4 years ago? First, I’m sure Biden had an ear pod of some type.
Next, I think an ear pod would confuse him terribly this time. He’s too confused in general. Two other things to keep it fair is to not permit Biden to see the questions. Also, as you said .. a neutral moderator. I’ll never forget the debate when Candy Crowley moderated the Romney/Obama debate. It was infuriating.
I tend to agree with you. Even with biased moderators and ear buds, Biden would come out looking bad. He looks bad just showing up. That Super Bowl commercial of his probably took 100 takes to shoot. The heavy editing was so obvious. His campaign should be embarrassed.
Yes, there were some questions regarding Biden getting assists that were not accorded to President Trump.
