What rules do YOU want for want for the last Trump debates?

Hopefully after this, we can go back to normal discussions.

At least for now, I would definitely like the time limit to be strictly enforced, BUT instead of a buzzer going off when time's up, I want to be the signal to be the recording of Biden saying, "Will you shut up, man?"

Your rules?

he is dropped into a dunk tank.

The tank is full of very hungry alligators.

The amazing thing is, that's probably what would go through his head. There's a lot of room in there. I could see that thought bouncing around, and around, and around.

It could be enlightening to Trump's enthusiasts just to watch them play cards. Or Trivial Pursuit. I wonder how they'd do competing on "The Newlywed Game?"

1) debate does NOT start until ALL persons have masks ON! 2)RUMP calls out White supremacists or not, or debate does NOT start. 3) Rump (ONLY) put in sound proof room, IF he refuses to abide by debate rules.

Think trap door, but it doesn't 'give way', it's designed to simply lower the person standing on it by three inches. Next time there's an interruption? Another three inches, and another, until...
As he gets shorter in stature against his opponent, the world watches the incredible shrinking Donald with glee...
I do think that would get him to shut his yap after a few of those...........

When it's not your turn, your microphone is dead.

Plus, every time you interrupt (even with a dead microphone), you get 30 seconds taken away from your time which is then added to the time of your opponent.

(Well, I figure that it's either got to be something like that, or shock collars!)
