The people need to see Trump for what he is - not a censored, muzzled version.

The debate was a huge victory for Biden primarily because it served to display the stark contrast between Trump's raving, unhinged madness and Biden's relatively cool, calm and prepared performance.

If we censor what Trump really is and force him to behave in a more socially acceptable manner it will diminish the contrast between the two.

That would be doing Joe a disservice - the contrast is exactly what he needs.
