You can say Chris Wallace sucks but the problem

really is that Trump is interrupting non stop and not following the rules. I know this is not shocking but the problem really is how can any moderator shut him up? They can't since he's just going to scream and interrupt on every occasion. The only solution to this is to give moderators the power in the future to cut off his mic when he interrupts. That's the only way to stop it because it will be the same even if we have a progressive moderator.

Apparently, they can only cut the mic if both sides agree in advance. Which the Repugs won't. regnaD kciN Sep 2020 #1

Trump doesn’t even have a platform. They can’t debate policy. The choice, here, is clear. There is nothing to debate.

He’d still keep talking the whole time in the background. You’d hear him coming down Biden’s mic.

Put him in a soundproof glass box maybe?

Wallace allows Trump to interrupt and exceed his time and does nothing. And Wallace's questions are softballs to Trump.

Wallace is a disgrace.
