No more debates! tRump's behavior tonight was disgusting

and it's not something I care to witness again.

What do you think?

9. Biden can't simply say no more debates it would be spun as being a coward.

However Biden should insist on a real moderator, hard time limits, and one who can cutoff a mike.

Remember all our mockery about how Trump would pull out of the debates? We do that, especially now, and Biden looks weak and cowardly. That's about the only way Trump can come back and win. Joe has to gird his loins and go out there again. At least future debates won't be moderated by Faux Noise Channel.

14. Only under the condition (that Trump would never agree to)...

Of soundproof booths for each candidate, and mics that can be cut off by the moderators.

Biden would have NO problem with that.

Otherwise, why bother?

i'd rather see harris and pence go at it 3 times. at least pence can shut up long enough for harris to tell america what biden's plan is.

tonight was a waste of time, biden did the best he could but was at the mercy of someone who never shut up... i hope america appreciates it isn't really biden's fault that he didn't get to spend as much time as he wanted discussing the issues.

His intellectual capacity is nowhere up to debating a dynamic, brilliant trial lawyer.

The next organizers need to take a MAJOR lesson from this, and be willing to cut the orangutan's mic over and over. If he's not going to debate, they can FORCE a debate by shutting him down while Biden speaks, then only allowing him to speak when it's his turn. Period.

It may take too much alcohol, but I will watch all of them.
