Some have pointed out that in debates, mics are often set so that they only pick up a candidate's voice when they speak loudly, so that their whispered comments to other candidates, their breathing, etc. aren't picked up for all to hear. Think that could have been a reason why he and Williamson -- both candidates unfamiliar to a debate stage like that -- might have had what they perceived to be problems with their mics """being cut""" whereas more experienced candidates (and loudmouths) like Gillibrand and de Blasio did not have the same problem? But what do they do? Jump straight to the """rigging""" nonsense.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
