I’m not denying that any moderator would have a difficult job controlling Trump but that’s not a valid reason to deprive voters of the opportunity to witness democracy in action, imo.

That’s one way, not the only way. One thing narcissists cannot abide is ridicule but I don’t know if Biden is the guy to do that. If he could provoke Trump into a meltdown on live TV that could be enough to seal a second term. It’s a shame it’s not Newsom though, I’m not a huge fan of his but he would straight up roast Trump for 90 minutes.
You got me but who wouldn’t want to see Trump take so many Amps he craps himself on live TV?
It’s not pointless. One thing narcissists and wannabe strongmen do is act like they are above the rules that the rest of us have to abide by. Norms and conventions are for the little people. A good way to push back is to hold them to the same standards as anybody else. It sends the message that they aren’t special, and if Trump doesn’t like that, well tough shit. Let Biden have the allotted time all to himself in that case.
That’s on whoever is chosen to moderate the debate but yes, they need to be held to account.
Nor for the country.
I disagree. As fucked as this particular situation is, the people should be able to watch the candidates answer hard questions. That’s what happens normally and I don’t see why that should change just because the diaper shitting orange narcissist is involved.
Let’s make it more interesting, shock collars for both of them.
So that’s a “no” then.
Just don’t ask a MAGA to spell trebuchet.
Do you ever write out a comment, read it back, and think “nah, too edgy”?
I’m not voting for joe
But you are voting against Trump, right?
I was worried he’d fuck it up but Biden killed it last night.
She should’ve been asked to take the MAGA hat off or GTFO.
So what do you want, Trump?
“One of us! One of us!”
So people are just going to wait for the battery to run down and then go do something else?
Are you aware that you can plug the battery into a power source and use the headset for as long as you want while the battery charges at the same time?
lots of guys exactly the same age as him do not suck.
I get that but it’s absolutely connected to his age. He’s spent the last 30 years in a bubble of wealth and privilege and has never had any pressure to update his thinking.
Maher is one of those older guys who thinks they figured everything out 30 years ago and doesn’t need to try any more. The epitome of a lazy, entitled boomer.
