Will ABC Allow TSF To Set The Debate Rules

The debate is not a done deal. TSF wants muted mikes and Kamala wants open mikes.

TSF's statement that the debate is set was self-contradictory. He said the same rules as the Biden debate, but the Biden debate had open mikes and TSF wants muted mikes.

If I were Kamala I would not cave because this is important. In the Biden debate when TSF was asked a tough question, he just ignored it and talked about something else. With open mikes when TSF ignores a question Kamala can butt in and say, "answer the question, answer the question."

stepping down which is why trump wasn’t able to get extra dates. Keep format the same as originally planned by President Biden.

6. I'd like to see a total time limit on the asshat. Then, let Kamala lecture him on all of the rest.

Because with open mics he won't ever shut up. And his hyenas will consider that a win. Drowning out the women's voice is what they're all about.

8. No one candidate or the outlet gets to set the debate rules. It has to be agreed to by both candidates

10. You should amend your post: The TSF wants muted mics, same as in the first debate.

Not sure why you think the first debate had open mics.

You might want to amend your post accordingly.

There's no reason to. Trump needs the debate way more than KH. No concessions to that campaign, ever.
