Can the rules of the next debate be changed to include more substantive moderation?

[Poiuyt]

Or have the rules already been negotiated and set in stone? I'm wondering if the moderator can have the ability to cut off a mic.

1. Yes, please!

[octoberlib]

2. I don't think they should do any more debates. This is disgraceful

[GReedDiamond]

9. Yes. Even with better moderation, Preznit Moron will still rage...

...out of control, spewing bullshit like a fire hose.

14. Remember how we were joking about how TRUMP would be ducking the rest of the debates...?

We cannot back out now. Doing so will make Biden look weak. "You can't handle a presidential debate...how can you expect to handle ISIS or China?" If Biden pulls out of the debates after this, Trump wins re-election. He has to grit his teeth and tough the next two out. After all, I doubt any further debates could be worse than this one.

3. No more of this idiocy

Trump turns everything into a shitshow

[Tribalceltic]

4. Or Tasers

[Poiuyt]

7. Or a shock collar like Cliff Claven wore on "Cheers"

5. The next two debates

will not have someone from Faux Snooze as moderator. If I can call Chris Wallace that, and I hesitate to do so.

[Poiuyt]

11. It doesn't matter who the moderator is if he/she has no means to control trump

[customerserviceguy]

13. I believe

that the moderators for the next two debates will do a better job. At least they have tonight to learn from.

6. omg, thank you

[Ms. Toad]

8. And who takes time from any final statement

to even things up at the end.

[regnaD kciN]

10. Not unless BOTH sides agree to it...

[Retrograde]

12. Or give them a mike cutoff switch (n/t)
