So will they cut the mics like the Biden/Trump debate or not cut the mics? emulatorloo Aug 2024 #3
Same rules as the Biden debate - I think they cut mikes on that one? n/t Dennis Donovan Aug 2024 #4

How can anyone read his screeds and say, "Yeah this guy would be a great president!"

Now that he has established his excuse if he blows out in this debate - he's willing to go ahead with it. Although we still have a couple of weeks before - he might change his mind again.

Now if he does blow out on the debate - he can say it was ABC and the debate coordinator that is the problem or that the debate was rigged somehow.

Which is unfortunate. I read somewhere that Trump talking while muted was one of the things that threw Biden off, since he could still hear Trump. If she agrees to an additional debate, which I think she should, muted mics should be a condition, as well as the ability to take notes. And for g-d's sake, how petty is it that Trump's campaign wouldn't agree to change it to a seated debate? Yes, both candidates agreed to standing when Biden was the candidate, but Kamala is 5'2" and shouldn't have to stand up there in heels the whole time.

I wish she had pushed for a format more like the 2020 VP debate before taunting Trump about backing out the first time. She should insist on a similar format if she agrees to another debate.

I did not know that. Its not a bad thing to be standing then to show a small, smart woman smoking a brute.

I'm sure she's been standing a lot longer in heels at rallies, and other functions.

Trump lies about everything. And he doesn't mention the mic thing at all.

then an Independent, and who now pretends to be a Republican, accuse someone eles of "flip-flopping".
And the "liberal media" will be pointing out this hypocrisy the very second that Hell freezes over!
