I'm not sure why you think I'm claiming to be an expert. I called people like Wray a liar, more specifically, some one that gives sound bites to the leftist media.

Well you sure seem to be claiming to know better than the leading law enforcement agency in the US.
They align themselves with Neo-Nazis, and have ties to white nationalism, and they support violence. And you think that makes them good people and true Americans?
Right wing groups, which they are one of, have caused far more deaths in American than Antifa has.Keep on Civin'

They aren't aligned with any neo-nazis. They will kick you out if they find out that you are associated with white supremacists. They have done that. So if you want to say they are aligned with such groups you need evidence besides people in the FBI say so. Why do they say that? What's the evidence? Surely there would be evidence.I drank beer.

Originally posted by Kidicious View PostThey want the power to cut off Trump's mic for the next debate. I don't think Trump will agree, so there might not be another debate.
And you really think Trump would walk away from a chance to be on National TV
Those are the moments he lives for.
And frankly, if the future debates are anything like the last one, no more are really needed. There is nothing to be learned from them.Keep on Civin'

I thought it was pretty clear that aggressive interruption and constantly attacking was Trump's strategy. Sadly, he made almost no coherent points and rarely even tried to talk about specific policies. Fine for his base, but disastrous in terms of winning back the voters he's been hemorrhaging.
As for the miking policy:
Both sides agreed to the rule on timing after a question. All they have to do to enforce it is to activate only the mic of the person the question is directed to, for the agreed amount of time. The countdown time could be on screen. Just follow the agreed-upon rules of engagement. The debate commission should just lay down the law: Here's how this will go, take it or leave it.
For Tuesday's format, it would be easy:
Moderator (whose mic is always on) Question to A.
Answer from A with only A mic on for specified time.
A's mic off, B's mic on.
B rebuttal to same question, for specified time.
Both mics off.
Moderator speaks. When topic is deemed complete, Moderator Question to B.
B's mic on, A's mic off, answer from B.
Followed by A's rebuttal with mics switched.
Etc. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Of course, the next one is a town hall format, which no doubt will have different rules. But we have a debate commission, and I think they should do whatever it takes to put on a viable, actual debate. Not that I'm hopeful it will happen. Just saying it should.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Coronavirus live news: Hope Hicks tests positive for Covid after flying with Trump on Air Force One – reports
Hicks also travelled with Trump to presidential debate on Tuesday
Bloomberg note that Hicks travelled with Trump to the presidential debate with Joe Biden on Tuesday (before she tested positive).
Hicks traveled with Trump to his debate with Biden on Tuesday and to a Minnesota rally on Wednesday. Trump’s entourage entered the debate hall without face coverings, or removed them as they sat down, and refused an offer of masks from a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic, which was co-hosting the event.

Top Trump aide Hope Hicks tests positive for coronavirus after traveling with president to debate
Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump’s closest aides, has tested positive for the coronavirus, NBC News reported, citing a source close to the Trump campaign.
Hicks, who has been known to spend a lot of time with Trump, had traveled with the president to the debate Tuesday night in Cleveland. She was seen not wearing a mask.
Trump, 74, himself rarely wears a mask and has mocked his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, 77, for often wearing face coverings.
The White House didn’t comment on reports that Hicks had tested positive, but a spokesman issued a statement about the administration’s Covid-19 protocols.

Trump did so bad at the debate he got Covid-19.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
