Trump is blaming Chris Wallace

for not stopping him from interrupting Biden and making him look bad.

Like it was Bob Woodward's fault when Woodward didn't stop Trump from saying all those terrible things.

These journalists, they never control Trump's childish behavior like he expects them to.

the winning team doesn't blame the refs. So Pissolini knows he lost the debate. Good.

he is a fucking job and stupid is only part of it. Stupid plays with some of the voters but I don't think what he did tonight plays with any except the truly insane.

is a gentleman with some manners and doesn't have it in his make up to speak harshly to the President of the United States.

When I say it was a terrible debate I am not saying Joe did a terrible job. No one could be at their best going face to face with a crazy maniacal person yelling in your face. It was the mechanics and rules of the debate that made it terrible. Here are 2 simple solutions that would solve the problem and stop Trump from breaking the rules.

1st option; Add a rule to the debate rules that the Moderator would tell both participants that if they went over their allotted time that excess time would be subtracted from their 2 minutes they would normally have for the next question.and that time would be added to their opponents normal allotted time. If they interrupt their opponent while he as talking they would be fined a minimum 30 seconds and if their interruption lasted more that 30 seconds they would be fined the length of time the interruption lasted. All that time would be added to the opponents allotted time.

2nd option; The moderator could punch a mute button on the person that exceeded his time and the mute button would start playing loud music that would drown out whatever the rule breaker was saying.

Trump would blow his top if either of those options were exercised. .

with the exception that trump needs little to no reason to blow his top. His manic insolence is just below the surface 100% of the time.

Maybe have a large clock showing the time. Thems the rules and they both agreed. There needs to be some way to enforce them.
