Why I Might Watch The Next 'Debate'
October 20, 2020 at 4:42 am
The debate commissioners have announced that, when one candidate is giving his answer to the moderator's question, the other candidate's microphone will be muted (both mics will be live during rebuttals).

Since Trump has always been physically unable to shut the fuck up - even when it's to his advantage to do so - there is a small chance that the frustration of shouting into a dead mic will cause him to stroke out and collapse onstage.

Must See TV!

He says he won't back out this time, but I wouldn't put it past him. That or the moron walks off stage during the debate. Yea, I think he won't be able to control himself.

I can see the Secret Service dashing in and taking the mute button away from the moderator.

When is the debate? I absolutely must see this live.

You act like Trump won't just cancel this one too.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Time of the debate:

Quote:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10...n-time-uk/

October 22, Tennessee

The final presidential debate will be at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 22 at 9pm ET (2am UK).

Mr Trump and Mr Biden will have their microphones turned off at Thursday's presidential debate to enforce two minutes of uninterrupted speaking time for each candidate per topic after the first debate between rivals became a farce.

The 90-minute event, moderated by NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker, will also be divided into 15-minute segments on prepared topics.

Well, he would need to know the mic is dead.   His situational awareness is iffy at best.

But his gesticulating with no sound would be funny.

Check your local news feeds. I’m not sure of the time difference between the debate site and you.
