Not sure why Trump and his minions are so upset about following the rules allowing each candidate two minutes to respond to a question. Seems like this would allow him two minutes of uninterrupted time to spew his BS.
Not sure why there's any objection to the moderator defining the topics, as that is what they agreed to.
Nor why he won't follow the agreed-upon rule of being tested for Covid before the debate. One would think that would help keep everyone safe, Trump included.
Yup. The Debate Commission chose registered Democrats who HATE Trump for every single debate and town hall. Not a single Republican among them. Now they are switching out the topics at the last minute because foreign relations will make Biden look bad.
And the brainwashed leftists keep insisting there’s no bias.
Even if that was true, Trump is supposed to be the leader of the free world for the last four years. There should literally be no question any moderator could throw at him that would cause him to stumble looking for an answer if he has actually been doing the job he was elected to do.
Joe is the one who has been out of touch with the working of Washington for a while. which means he should be the one at a disadvantage. Joe's been doing ten hours a day of debate prep to get up to speed on what Trump should be absorbing every day.
Complaining about the moderator comes across as petulant and whiney. Let melty snowflake Trump either get over his cowardice and man up, or don't show up. Joe can handle the dead air admirably.
He shouldn't have been interrupted, per the agreement by both campaigns. Trump is the one who violated the rules so egregiously that they now have a kill button on the mics.
I'm okay with this, but each candidate should be given one minute rebuttal time to respond to the other candidate. If Biden goes first and Trump responds, then Biden should get 1 minute to reply back. Same the other way around. This discourages the candidates from flat out lying as the other candidate will get an opportunity to respond.

Well then the other candidate can lie in their one minute.
But the biased MODERATOR could still interrupt! She’ll let Biden go on with his lies, and then she will challenge Trump every few seconds as he answers his question.

Are you guys saying that Wallace having to ask Trump to stop interrupting Joe Biden 34 times (that's the actual number, verified by fact-checkers), that he was biased or somehow debating Trump?
Both the Trump campaign and the Biden campaign agreed to the rules, which included "two minutes, uninterrupted," for each person. But Trump, being the immature child he is, continually disobeyed those rules, and began to interrupt Biden every time Joe said something he didn't like.
