From muted microphones to no opening statements, here are some of the new rules for the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump.

The article is short, so worth the read, but here’s the TL;DR:

  1. Commercial Breaks
  2. No Opening Statements
  3. Muted microphones, no notes
  4. No Live Audience

    I am (unronically) convinced that this sentence did more to secure Biden’s presidency than the entire rest of the debate.

      That’s why I think trump will go down in the polls as we get closer to the election. The American public genuinely did want trump to shut up when Biden said that. I hope Biden tells him to shut up again at this debate with the muted mics. It would make him go nuts.

      Literally just say “I whooped your ass and I’ll do it again.” Trump would lose his mind. He never encounters people who say that to him. Everyone around him is a sycophant.
