Donald Trump's microphone could be turned off in the next debate if he keeps interrupting or he might get a time penalty under Debate commission plans after 'dumpster fire' clash

Not. Gonna. Happen.

[Yo-Yo]

Why do you think that drill instructors are yelling at their young charges all the time? It's not because they're sadistic, (although I'm not so sure about my T.I. Sgt. Robertson...) they're teaching their recruits how to operate under stress.

If Biden can't operate under the stress of "big bully Trump" interrupting him during a debate, how is he supposed to operate under the stress of an international crisis that, if mishandled, could lead to armed conflict or even nuclear war?

Turn off the mike of the candidate not entitled to speak at the time, automatically. That way we can hear all of what is said. Leave the “both mikes open” for the final minute or two of each topic.

The non-speaking candidate will undoubtedly show his dissent by gestures and facial expressions anyway.

[JimRed]

Then the retort doesn’t need to happen as the lies are spewing out of Biden’s mouth.

He'll need to take notes, to remember 'em all!

[jughandle]

He should play along with their childish games and just give quick little one-word answers to everything.

[Jane Long]

The Presidential Debate Committee board members are ALL lefties.

The fact that they’re changing the rules, during the debate cycle, is outrageous.

POTUS should call them out and tell them what HIS new rules/agreement will be.

THEY changed their rules, he did not. They cancelled the original agreement.

Art of the Deal.

[JimRed]

The next two debates and the VP debate should be mano a mano with no moderator...

No mod, but they'll need a referee!

(whistle) "Overstating...ten word penalty, repeat second reply".

[CodeToad]

I wouldn’t be treated so childishly. It is demeaning to a presidential candidate.

[daler]

So, not only are the moderators for the next two debates left-wing libs, they’re singling out and scolding only the president for interrupting?

This is so predictably outrageous...

[Songcraft]

"Tell the UK Daily Mail and the rest of the stinking Brits to sod off and enjoy their Muslims!   Stay the hell out of our politics, you pommie bastards!!"

Amen!

Tell these stinking bigoted Brits who write this deceitful, twisted garbage, to roll up one of their hardcopy slimy newspapers, and shove it as far up their biased British bums as they can reach!

[ballplayer]

If that’s the rule,it would have been Biden having his microphone turned off because he is the one who started the interruptions, followed by the moderator Wallace.
Go back and look at the debate,Biden was the first to interrupt, then his co debator Wallace who interrupted

[elcid1970]

Food for thought: there are as many muzzies in UK as here, about 3,400,000 each.

Compare both countries in size. The Brits are up their @zzes in muzzies next to us. They have enough to worry about besides our politics.
