Harris keeps going past her time limit, more than any other candidate there. Didn't the moderators

There's too many people on the stage and 30 or 45 seconds isnt enough for anything but soundbites. Oh how rude she kept talking when they cut her off... give me a break.

About Harris doing this or not doing that.

At least she is answering the questions and not dodging them.
