he should have been. Many times he was addressing the moderators who were on the right side of the camera. On TV you have to look at the audience - the camera not people in the room. Trump has had years and years of experience doing this. And Biden should have been coached to do it too.

Speaking of the Biden debate team: They made a big - huge - mistake asking for Biden to be on the right side of the set and therefor the right side of the "double box" during the broadcast. TV stations and networks all know that you put your on-air talent, anchors, hosts almost always on the left side and the guest on the right. The left side is a position of authority, the position where the questions are being asked the position of the person who is the leader of their show. If you don't believe me just watch any local or network broadcast.

How about Mr. Trump? They call President Obama that? I say president to make a point. He is no Demsrule86 Jun 2024 #47
The honorific title President attaches for life. All ex Presidents are referred to as 'President Obama' or kelly1mm Jun 2024 #30
Many on CNN and in the media do not refer to President Obama ...president. It is in newspapers as well, Demsrule86 Jun 2024 #48
Well sheshe2 Jun 2024 #59
