This tells me they think Trump won the first debate.

Can you mute the Democrat moderators when they interrupt and talk over Trump’s time?

Debate commission is democracy inaction:

3 wolves and a sheep discuss what is for dinner.

>>Debate commission adopts new rules to mute microphones...TO KEEP BIDEN FROM GETTING EATEN ALIVE.

Apparently this debate is being sponsored by Twitter.

Agree!!! I think we all know the mute button will not be applied fairly.

Let's hope that Trump just happens to "wander" over to Slow Joe and talk loud enough to drown him out.

I bet they'll mute within 2 minutes if the President is too effective.

I guarantee the mute will work to stfle Trump but “due to a technical glitch, Biden wasn’t able to be muted”.

They changed the topics to COVID-19, American families, race in America and climate change.

So once again, Trump is a white supremacist, Trump os killing off the country with the china virus, Trump denies the fake “science” of climate change and Trump doesn’t care about the unemployed and won’t make a deal with Pelosi.

Agreed! Trump should just chuck it. Even Pence had to have more than 2 minutes! This is going to be another Trump bashing question spree based on false premises to make Trump look bad and protect the Dodo Brained Biden! Trump should tell them to shove their propaganda debate up Biden’s basement hole.

That would be hilarious!

Can you see people in the audience who are privy to it, and the moderator and Biden aren’t?

Heh Trump just pulls out his phone and types something really denigrating, and the audience titters while Biden and his Leftist moderator look puzzled!
