7. You'd wish. I don't think anyone was ready for this level of BS, though.

The next debate, I expect, will be different. I don't think the next news org is going to allow him to constantly yap. I'll bet that they do insert a rule that says they will simply mute the mike of the person speaking, period. It makes any news org and every moderator that allows this look like an idiot.

I don't think Wallace is entirely at fault. I doubt that they expected this level of shitshow, much less discussed how to truly deal with this idiotic misbehavior. They should have - you prepare for worst-case scenarios. I don't see a serious news org allowing this yet again, having seen Dump's performance.

Spriinger would handle it a lot better than Wallace. Plus he had some bouncers. Klaralven Sep 2020 #3
