He claims he is the Law and Order candidate but can't even abide by the rules of a debate to let his opponent speak without interruption. If he became president would he send everyone who disagreed with him to Siberia?

(52,196 posts)my guess is that it was a rule for the first two minute statements, but not for the rambling follow-ups.
in any event, yeah, the only rule trump knows is that rules don't apply to trump.

(52,196 posts)back in my high school debate days, i remember you couldn't interrupt the speeches that were the bulk of the debate, but in between there were short cross-examinations, and while it was considered poor form to interrupt, it was meant to be a conversation, so there weren't any rules about it.
