The Commission on Presidential Debates reported on Friday that there were in fact issues with Donald Trump’s microphone at the Debate Monday evening at Hofstra university in New York.
Following the debate, Trump told the press that they “gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room,” CNN reports. Trump posed the question: “Was that on purpose?”
While it may be too early to call it anything other than a technical malfunction, the Commission on Presidential Debates said “there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.”

I thought the same thing! Hillary definitely had some audio help to improve her voice. Actors use it too.
C’mon, GOP! Pull your head out of your a**! These ******* “debates” are RIGGED! Wake the **** up!
IF Hillary had been a woman of character...and she’s not...but if she had been, she would have spoken up and said something like..”It’s obvious Mr. Trump’s mic isn’t working properly. Mr. Trump, please feel free to step over here to my lectern to answer your questions until a replacement mic is found for you. People need to hear your answers.”
If she had done that, she would have scored big points. I’m sure HE would have done that if the situation was reversed. Remember Ben Carson standing in the wings???
What DID Hillary do> Knowing his mike was bad, she took insulting pot-shots at him, so his responses couldn’t be heard.
Trump’s supporters may be deplorable, but C. Clinton is despicable. She shows the character of her father.
Because of this bad mic (which was obvious immediately to anyone listening), the Rats started the cocaine smear. There has to be some recourse.
After they allowed all the Trump mocking for days on this.
More like sabotaged.
Just a coincidence, there’s nothing to see here. /sarcasm
I speak around the world before large audiences. A microphone “malfunction” of this nature throws you off as the speaker and its a major distraction for the audience. WHO had access to this microphone before the debate? And who from the Trump campaign verified that it was working properly — this should be the last person with access to the microphone before the candidate begins speaking.

Remember how loud his snifling was? And his mic was way lower and farther away from his mouth than Hilliary’s was. Since his snifling was probably magnified, then so was his voice and he came across very loud and somewhat bombastic and overpowering whereas Hilliary sounded calm.
So his incoming sound was not loud enough and his outgoing was tuned way too loud. He was at a real disadvantage.
Or was it a double? She has at least one of those.
Questions about CPD are largely for public opinion only. Nothing will ever be done since there is no body governing this organization and Illary knows it. That’s why Dems will continue to exploit the lack of debate rules and game the system. It will take Trump or the RNC threatening to pull out of all future CPD debates to change the system.
Rather than the mic being bad, I suspect the sound manager had the treble turned all the way up.

New Trump ad—what Hillary’s voice REALLY sounds like.....
He probably didn't realize it. I've spoken into a microphone before and would have no idea how it sounds to those listening.
What are the odds only the Repub mike is messed up.
Pray America wakes
Trump needs to make it clear that his people will take care of his podium space for the next debate or he won’t participate.
MORE OF THE CLINTON STANK
it is part of their personna and sop....
Anyone that thinks those mics weren’t checked out to work exactly as planed before the event, is in need of serious help.
This was no mistake. I’m just surprised they admitted it.
