Kristin Welker is a fucking HERO!

That was a beautiful job of dealing with the almost unmanageable. Spanky tried to work her, but she stood firm.

No minds were changed. But it happened.

She explained at the beginning that the commission would mute a mic after 2 minutes of each opening response on any question. By my count that happened once to Trump. But she didn't have a button like zoom as I understand it.

She was a disaster. She seemed afraid of the bully and preyed on the decent debater. Trump was allowed to give all the rebuttal he wanted yet at times she would cut Biden off when he tried to answer.

I think she did fair, nothing extra. But I admire your enthusiasm.
