2. She was very professional.

I wish she had shut down trump more often.

3. I thought she did a fine job,

especially considering what she had to deal with.

Keeping that obnoxious blowhard under control wasn't easy...

6. There was no "using the mute button", this is a misconception of the setup

When the candidate was asked a question, their 2 min clock started, and the opponent's mic was switched off in the control room. After that, both mics were on, until the next question.

Welker did not have a button.

5. She really does! I was one of he people who

criticized her selection as moderator for this final debate. I'm happy to admit how wrong I was! She did a memorable job, one that will be talked about in future debates.
