That was Harris's request, I thought. In the original terms for the Trump/Biden debate, each person's mic was shut off except when it was their turn to speak. Harris asked for that to be changed to allow interruptions, and Trump went along with it. If that's not working out for Harris, she should probably talk to her own team that wanted it, instead of whining about the moderators.
It worked out just fine for her. Gave him a chance to dig his own grave, which is what he did and what she wanted.
Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny. It's disrespectful to talk over women and take up their time. The debate proves Harris's point that Sleepy DonOLD cares only about himself and goes to great lengths to tell more and more lies.
What did Eisenhower have to do with it?
That's literally his strongest selling point, his voters support him because he normalizes misogyny.
If he ran over and slapped her to the floor they'd consider it a show of American Strength.
This is not a new development, dude. Do we really need to rehash the lessons of the last 8 years again? The people who vote for him don't care about your sensibilities. They like that he's rude and think it shows strength.
You may have missed the point of the debate, which is to help people on the fence choose a side. Anyone on the fence HAS been asleep the last 8 years and ought to not choose to side with Cult 34 and their rude, misguided values. I expect many a boomer MAGAt has a wet dream of the rapist groping her on stage.
What's up with the 34?
DonOLD was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York. He hopes people don't keep his factual criminality on the top of their minds. The purpose and motive of the crime was to deceive voters. It's election fraud.
Thanks for the explanation.
The mic being active or not doesn't affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she'd still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn't, so she'd seem flustered.
That's a really great point.
