I'm kinda shocked that the Trump campaign would agree to this. These rules seem directly in response to his debate style.
For all Biden's many faults, having to share a stage with him in a civilized manner is almost certain to work against Trump. Especially when his campaign is consistently trying to paint Biden as mentally unwell and out of touch.
I'm glad it's happening, just shocked that it's happening under these conditions. I fully expected the Trump campaign to find a reason to back out leading up to this, and any of those rules would likely be a justification for that that his base would be fine with.
The mic mute is not a perfect solution. Trump is going to be shouting over Bidens turn. We won't hear it (much), but it's going to make Biden lose his train of thought and stutter while the viewer can't really tell Trump is screeching 20ft away
I won't believe until I see it. They can still pull out at the last moment. There's just no way Trump comes out looking good.
I don't believe for one second tRump will show. No way in hell.
He'll show, say how the liberal media is against him, and walk out.
His base will consider it a win because he "owned the libs" and "he's too smart to play their games!"
Reality is a poorly written sitcom and I hate it.
He won't get to say that though. His mic will be muted until it's his time to speak. If he tries that and walks out, he looks weak and looking weak is about the only thing that will turn his cult of republikkklowns against him. He can't show up, if he shows up, he'll look weak. He'll blame the liberal media before hand and not show.
He'll only look weak to people who live in reality. If Obama would have been accused of a felony, Trump's base would have been up in arms about him running for president. Trump has been convicted of multiple felonies and it's a rally cry for his campaign.
Bizzarro world is here.
Lol, cult45 with their red hat dunce caps IS up in arms about Hunter Biden having a felony....
The lack of notes will probably hurt Biden mostly. Trump will go off on crazy tangents, which he does anyway and probably doesn't read notes someone wrote for him ever, it doesn't take more than 3 brain cells to spout off racist shit and get angry people angry. But Biden will say 3 words and forget where he is, that's what they are probably counting on.
Edit: WOW it's fucking crazy how right I was. Keep downvoting.
