It’s a very important part of the process. These candidates have microphone access 24/7 so it is not critical that every single syllable they say is heard ....but how the people in the audience feel is critical,,the debate is for the people!
Yes..
FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE!!!
We are paying for it!

They just made themselves look even more controlling and stupid at the same time!
