  Exactly. If they can’t even heard or seen they won’t interrupt as much

  The Commission on Presidential Debates should cancel all remaining scheduled debates. Today. Don’t wait, don’t ask the campaigns for input.

  FWIW this debate helped Biden. The contrast could not be more clear.

  Around the Horn on ESPN had a pretty good system in place.

  Mute his mic and the viewing audience won’t be able to hear him, tha doesn’t mean he will shut up. He will still spew his lies and hatred as Biden tries to give answers. How is that amy better?

  Wouldn't be necessary if we had two adults debating, but with The Pres in the mix, we'll obviously need some extra safeguards. Special treatment, he should like that.

  If they try to penalize Trump he'll claim favoritism towards Biden. Best if there are no more debated.

  Not showing the split screen is a great idea, especially with the clown. He works those facial antics.
