When trump over-talks, why can't they..

...do what the awards shows do?

Turn up the volume to God Bless America or some other patriotic song and drown that ass out. Technically not cutting his mic.

You know drumpf will just continue yelling anyway and could even physically threaten the moderator or Joe, like his arm candy did last time trying to walk right up to Joe to infect him. Thankfully the 3 bit porno actress, and drumpf's hate filled plan was stopped.

each 15 minute segment (they get 2 minutes each). The rest of the time will be open debate with the mics on.

It will still be a big improvement from before - that was the ugliest thing I have ever seen on tv. If orange assmouth really acts out his hate, and constantly overtalks Biden with vicious lies about Biden and family, I will probably drop off this time. I felt so assaulted last time and won't put up with watching total hate filled snarling lies.

boorish behavior. They should quietly stand up and walk out. He walked out on Stahl, so I guess that tactic is acceptable to him.

which won't happen. If Joe walks out, Trump will declare a win and paint Joe as a coward, unable to face a debate.

But......maybe Joe could come out on top by refusing to participate in such an uncivil mess. If it was me, I'd sure be tempted to just walk off the stage. He'd have to give his reasons later because he would not be able to speak over Trump's shouting.
