Just reported on MSNBC- trump wants microphone muted for debate. Harris wants microphone unmuted

Just reported on MSNBC - Both teams at an impasse working out details for the debate over the microphone.
Either trump wants to use that as the reason for backing out, or they just know he will be so out of control and they don't want the audience to hear. He is going to be triggered.
I say let trump be trump. No muted mics!

and just keep blabbering nonsense for 90 minutes whether it is his turn or not. I think it is pretty funny that Kamala is turning the tables on him just like she is doing with the entire campaign.

TSF would be asked a tough question, in his debate with Joe he just spouted off nonsense never answering the question. If the mikes aren't muted then Kamala can but in by saying, answer the question, answer the question. He won't get away with avoiding it because the moderators let him do it.

4. I think Trump can make comments Harris can hear, but the tv audience can't with the mikes muted.

It enables him to disrupt her presentation without anyone knowing it, since the moderators won't stop him.

Mute Rump's microphone for the entire debate.

Leave Harris' microphone open for the entire debate.

Both sides get what they want. Problem solved,
