of course they won’t penalize Biden nor do they mention Biden was the first one to interrupt regardless Trump just needs to come in disciplined and know that Biden will screw up if he let’s him talk
Leaving it up the moderators is the problem. Let them fight or don’t. Moderators will always pick the side of the candidate they support, and that’s not going to be Trump. If the candidates can’t control themselves, it’s not difficult to set a timer on the microphone. The candidate activates the mic when he begins and it cuts off after the allotted time.
I would grab Biden’s microphone and tell the “moderator” to go to hell.
Ironically, this could backfire on the Democraps. Though I don’t blame Trump for calling out Slow Joe’s bullsqueeze, if you let that idiot keep talking he will inevitably ram one or both feet firmly in his mouth. Case in point, his cringey babbling train stop “rally” the day after the “debate”.
If Biden can’t handle relatively minor interruptions, then he can’t handle foreign leaders.
Either that or go nuclear and have the guy with the nuclear football give me a bullhorn out of the briefcase.
The format change should be: no disparaging preambles to moderator questions.
Example:
President Trump, what health care plan do you have ready to replace to ACA, if you overturn it?
NOT:
You have no comprehensive alternative health plan.
Your EO on preexisting conditions was largely symbolic.
If the moderator chooses to fire off preambles like these in a lead up to a question, particularly when aimed at one side and not the other, then the president should get to interrupt with a rebuttal to each one, as Trump rightfully did.
Well, it was a dumpster fire and he did interrupt about fifty times but it wasn’t like he wasn’t encouraged by Howdy Doody and Jalopy Joe
Why only DT this is nonsense.
President Trump:
Please do not do any debate where this would happen.
It would be done to you and not to Biden.
The next two debates and the VP debate should be mano a mano with no moderator and the candidates asking each other the questions.
Lincoln and Douglas didn’t need no stinking moderator.
It’s very intersting that it’s Turmp they want to snuff out.....I never heard Trump use the derogatory statements that Biden did toward Trump.....
This is a ploy to put pressure on Trump to walk away form the debates....so Biden doesn’t have to debate.
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!!
Get it right.
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!!
"Unruly president"? Is the Daily Mail even a newspaper or a slop bucket? They go to the pub in London, get drunk then spew out garbage for their equally stupid editors to print in tihs poor excuse of a newspaper?
THE MODERATOR
Chris Wallace, of the cable network Fox News, was a surprisingly weak and biased moderator. When a debate has multiple moderators asking the questions, they can get away with a certain amount of bias, because they can at least pretend that with Republican and Democrat hosts, the bias evens itself out (whether that’s true or not, most of the time, is up for debate).
With a single moderator, however, we need a conscious effort to be truly independent. This may be difficult with two forceful personalities like these, but it is still imperative.
Chris Wallace failed at this, if indeed he ever tried. His bias in favor of Mr. Biden was clear in most of the questions, only appearing to possibly be on President Trump’s side in one question late in the debate. Most of the time, his whole hand was on the scale - maybe his foot too – as he reprimanded the President for breaking the rules, read off questions biased toward the left’s position, and failed to call out even the most blatant lies from Joe Biden’s corner.
For example, the President talked about the huge evidence of ongoing and planned fraud in the “mail-in” ballot debate, both Biden and Wallace claimed there was no such evidence. Huge arrests in just the past 48 hours, in Texas, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, among others, provided plenty of fresh proof of the potential for mail-in ballot fraud, but Wallace – who lives in a newsroom, after all – acted as though he knew no such thing. If this were Watergate, it would be called a coverup. How a moderator could deny such huge stories, so fresh and well-known, to help one side’s case, is simply unforgivable.
I guess they will have to protect Joe Biden like a feeble old man if they want him to become the most powerful man on Earth.
