I like that idea. What can happen now, with the commission’s new rule, is that the leftist moderator will feed Biden set-up questions that will allow him to criticize Trump for two full minutes. And then the leftist moderator will ask Trump a false gotcha question, and then as Trump answers, the mod will interrupt and challenge him throughout (like that Savannah witch did a few days ago).

So.... the mod’s mike should be muted after asking questions.

Trump has no choice. Backing out of the last debate would look really bad.
You would only take issue with it if your intention was not to have an actual debate, but that is of course Trump's position.

We know Trump is not the best at giving long form policy oratory.

He just wants to attack Biden 100% of the time rather than have an actual debate.

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.

The moderator cannot become a debater which has happened to Trump both times. You seem to be intentionally ignoring that issue.

It's like the Biden folks watched a completely different debate than everyone else. Did Trump interrupt more often, yes. Does that mean Biden didn't interrupt nearly as much or whenever he saw fit, no. Not to mention he was the first to interrupt.

Trumps strategy seemed fairly obvious and that was to get Biden to slip up and have senior moment. It really didn't happen, so his strategy failed. But Biden was as much a clown as Trump was. Why can't people look past their biases and give an honest take on things. In reality by being blinded by your own partisanship is only doing yourself a disservice. You can support a candidate and still criticize them and admit when they screw up.

Trump's campaign already stated he was going to have a different strategy this debate. It's clear he needed a different one.

Trump has a problem with rules applying to him, so I imagine he’ll cry and whine about it. But ultimately the debate is the last chance he has to turn things around, so he’ll do it.
I can't argue against that point. Trump thinks rules are for everyone else unless they benefit him personally. I would like to see shock collars added for lying, omitting, or being incoherent. They would both be electrocuted in the first 10 minutes.

If they do adopt this rule I MIGHT (MIGHT) watch. If they don't I won't be and I know a number of my friends are thinking the same. That last "debate" was an embarassing fiasco for all involved. Not wasting my time again.

The strategy should be easy. Instead of Trump jumping in to correct Biden on his lies, and thus interrupting, he should take notes, and then when it’s his turn to respond, simply dismantle Biden’s lies one by one. I bet I could do it, no problem.
