The moderator are giving Trump so much time. They won't control him at all.

got the feeling he is not using it for his own benefit

Absolutely bonkers they won't enforce the rules. Mute his mic and ignore him.

I haven't verified it but I read on another post that the Harris campaign specifically asked for the mics to be left on during this debate. If that's true, it stands to reason that she wanted them to be lenient with Trump, so that now he can't pull the "They didn't let me talk!" bullshit when talking about his less than stellar (generous way of putting it) performance.

Absolutely negative levels of love for Harris here but facts. "Never interrupt your enemy while they're in the middle of making a mistake."

Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.

(Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).

What does it mean to lose? I guarantee that Trump supporters disagree.
