I'd prefer the mic be open Xavier Breath Sep 7 #1

He'd talk over Kamala constantly onandup Sep 7 #2

Why did the Harris campaign want it open then? Xavier Breath Sep 7 #3

They may have been messing with him, or thought she could do some real time fact checking onandup Sep 7 #5

As am I. Xavier Breath Sep 7 #6

And when he did that to Joe Biden in 2020, he was largely judged as Jack Valentino Sep 7 #7

What I want is a debate where whatever the rules are, they are followed. LakeArenal Sep 7 #4

so that we can hear him ranting and swearing when it's not his turn to speak. But, even with a muted mic I have absolute faith that the true essence of Trump will still shine through.

Like he did with Joe in 2020. I really think closed favors Kamala as opposed to a food fight.

having lost the debate--- and just being a total asshole and 'un-presidential',
as well. His constant interuptions did not help him-- and most people were sympathetic to Joe
when he countered 'why don't you shut up, man!'

I supported the closed mics for the last debate,
but for Kamala I would have preferred that they remain open so Trump could be Trump.

I want debate monitors who make sure the rules are rules.

I don’t think it’s possible that trump will adhere anyway. Making it a useless annoyance.
