Three issues about the debate.

[LiberalFighter]

I question whether the volume of the mike was set high enough for Biden.

Two minutes I don't believe was enough time for some of the questions.

Moderators should not have given trump more time to respond when he didn't answer the questions.

1. Fourth issue: it's not a debate.

2. While we're airing peeves...

Where the fuck does Trapper get off repeatedly calling the convict “President Trump”?

Bash did not.

3. Three answers.

Both campaigns did mike checks before the debate (I've attended multiple debates before broadcast). If there was a concern they should have raised them.

Two minutes was the time limit agreed to by both campaigns.

Trump kept to his time limits (I tracked it). He wasn't given "more time".

5. I kinda thought TFG DID get more time, BUT

Joe was given more time because TFG got xtra time earlier. Which wasn't right. Maybe i'm wrong,but there was a reason towards the end that they gave Joe more time?

7. A mike check is not valid if performed by someone other than the candidate doing the speaking

I've set up sound systems for our retiree meetings and other meetings for over 150 meetings. As a recording secretary sitting next to the podium I made it a point of making sure our members heard our speakers. If it looked like they weren't I would ask the speaker to get closer to the mike or I would move it up or down so it would be closer to their mouth.

Yes it was two minutes for answering a question. That doesn't mean two minutes is enough time for some questions. Some of the questions were more detailed.

8. You don't think the candidates do their own mike checks?

Each candidate has a block of time - alone - to visit the set, understand the lighting and camera angles, and test the sound system.

4. They gave him more time?

A lot? Did he ask for more or just take it?

6. No trump did not go over his time

Biden just did not use all the time he could have.
