He's more a technocrat. But it would be helpful if the next 2 debates will allow for mic cutoffs and/or response time penalties.

Thing is, this next one is a "Town Hall" style, which I expect will be dominated by selected audience questions, so the gish gallop responses to actual "people" might have more of a bad look to viewers.

Second presidential debate

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which the questions will be posed by citizens from the South Florida area. The candidates will have two minutes to respond to each question and there will be an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate further discussion. The town meeting participants will be uncommitted voters selected under the supervision of Dr. Frank Newport, Senior Scientist, Gallup.
