I'm not going to get political. I just wanted to say that I can't believe what I just saw. I honestly can't believe that it was a debate between the best two people we can find. That was a trainwreck.

I didn't watch it but read a lot of posts that Chris Wallace did a terrible job containing Trumps motormouth

It was like 2 old people in a nursing home fighting over the apple sauce.

Didn't watch it, but one thing I'd like to see in debates is: have the moderator warn the candidates that if they talk over one another, their mic gets turned off, and it counts against their allotted speaking time, until they shut their yap and let the other candidate speak.
And enforce that consistently.

And enforce that consistently. I actually said that to my wife last night during the debate. The mod has a control at their desk that turns off the mic of the person who is not speaking. It would bring some civility and take away a weapon that someone thought they had (interrupting constantly). I understand why some people would say that Chris Wallace allowed it to get out of control but I'm not sure what else he could do. He stopped things and told them both that their campaigns agreed to the terms but that the candidates were not following the protocol. It's a tough assignment for Biden because if he tries to be a gentleman, he doesn't get a word in. He has to try to play the Trump game which everyone knows works for Trump but no one else and so now Biden looks like an ogre because he's not acting the way he normally does. Some people today are saying that Biden should have just walked off the stage but you know what would happen... Trump would declare victory (which he would anyway) and say that Biden couldn't handle it and Trump's supporters would do the same. A tough spot to be in, for sure. |
