It's very unattractive to see them all shouting at once.

Nobody can hear anything!

It's also very counterproductive.

If the moderators can turn off the mike of the offending candidate, order would ensue and quickly.

Of course, you would need to warn the candidates that this could happen.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
