I may watch this debate on Thursday if it goes off.

The idea of watching somebody mute Trump live on national television gives me a woody.

1. I'm glad I'm not the only one

11. I confess I am morbidly curious too.

I guess its sort of that odd reflexive urge (some) people have to slow down when passing a wreck. I am kind of dubious about it happening. Anyone but able to even slightly muzzle him appears to be one of Tweety's hot buttons.

2. And I hope there is split screen sometimes...

when President Biden is answering. I think it would be hilarious to see his (tramps) actions without hearing the bullshit knowing no one can hear him.

I try to never say his name, playing spades is a bitch.

3. Please don't do a Jeffrey Toobin

On us!

[Sherman A1]

4. It's a pass for me

I cannot stand to look at him.

[peacebuzzard]

5. I will be interested in the recaps and specs.

I hope the dump is placed inside a wall of plexiglass; with maximum social distancing.
There should be plenty of comical moments of dump's mic in mute.

[Earthshine2]

6. These debates turn politics into a spectator sport. I'll be watching.

Looking forward to seeing Trump's face seethe when his mike is muted.

[samnsara]

7. i may watch it on mute anyway

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. We might have to keep him in a locked cage, too.

Otherwise when Joe is talking and he can’t interrupt, he’s bound in a burst of impotent rage to want to go over to him and try choking him in.

[brooklynite]

9. Let's be clear: this is NOT a cutoff of an interruption

For each discussion cycle, each candidate will be given two minutes to respond to a question. The other candidate's mike will be turned off from the outset.

[Buckeyeblue]

10. I probably won't watch. If I do it will be for only a few minutes.

Listening to Trump lie is a waste of my time. Because he blatantly lies, it's impossible to debate him. He lies and his lies are illogical. Debating Trump is like herding cats. Trump has no policy position.

I know Biden has to do it. If I were Biden, I would ignore most of what Trump says and answer the questions staying on message. I wouldn't try to draw a contrast, I wouldn't try to point out why he is wrong. Just stay on message.

I would make sure to point out that Trump inherited a strong economy which he has wrecked. I would talk about job growth and unemployment rates under Obama. Focus on healthcare. Focus on SSI.

12. IF Donald shows up. He has already set the excuses to chicken out.

IF Donald shows up. He has already set the excuses to chicken out.

But he needs the adoration of his 'sheeple'.

[Squidly]

13. I cant believe he would even agree

to attend the debate if his mic would be muted. its all he has. no substance, nothing. Just lies upon lies and being the bully.

[patricia92243]

14. I hope Joe's practice includes Trump walking behind him and

hollering so loudly that Joe's microphone picks it up. I truly believe this could happen, and Joe needs to be prepared.

[sellitman]

15. Joe may need a pocket taser.
