(205,317 posts)I agree that the moderator should have had the ability to cut his mic. He refused to shut up when he was asked, he's not used to taking turns.

(7,864 posts)Put the candidates in separate rooms, only on a video feed, and have the moderator ask the questions -- ALL the questions -- and if it isn't someone's allotted time, they aren't on camera and their mic is cut off.

(13,040 posts)a petulant child, constantly interrupt and cut into the opponent's time. He is a desperate thug. Civility is beyond him. The system should not cater to such a debasing candidate who continues to make a mockery of the highest office of the land.
