    Yeah...

    Wallace tried that.

    Unfortunately the buffoon in chief refused to stay on his spot and refused to be quiet when it was NOT his turn to speak.

    Now short of a James Harrison type "assisting" the president in staying on his spot and aiding in the President's "quiet time" I don't know what it is any of you want from a moderator.

    Here's a great idea, BLAME TRUMP. Trump's the one who behaved badly. Trump's the one who refused to obey the rules. Maybe blame Trump for what Trump does rather than looking for victim upon which to blame Trump's crap.

    Apparently you forgot to read Dole's quote.

    THAT is EXACTLY what he is asking for.

    BOTH candidates agreed to the format for the first debate.

    TRUMP decided to break the rules.

    Changes to the format are the result of Trump's actions and apply to both candidates.

    "SHUT UP AND LET THE OTHER GUY TALK" does not favor either candidate.

    BLAME TRUMP? What a novel idea. Why hasn't the DNC, BLM, ANTIFA, MSM thought of that?

    When you're done out there in left field perhaps you'd care to join the discussion?

    What's to discuss since you have already proved Trump did it?

    This is Dole's quote, verbatim:

    “The Commission on Presidential Debates is supposedly bipartisan w/an equal number of Rs and Ds. I know all of the Republicans and most are friends of mine. I am concerned that none of them support @realDonaldTrump. A biased Debate Commission is unfair.”​

    He didn't say that he's concerned that the members support Biden.
    He said he's concerned that they don't support Trump.
    That is, in fact, a call for a biased commission.

    Reading. It's fundamental.

    The answer is no. The Democrats are already Trump haters on the commission. So, having Trump lovers on the commission would equally balance the debate off. It's not about Democrats vs. Republicans. It's about Democrat Leftists vs Trump haters in both parties.

    Please! You do not know the minds of any of the commission members. AND

    The moderators, locations, dates, times, and topics were all agreed upon in advance by both candidates.

    Ya gots no reason to bitch!

    I think the moderator should fact check lies. Warn both of them before the debate begins.

    Trump all but blew himself up in the first debate. Why would you want him to repeat the performance?

    He should have told Trump to stop interrupting. Next, give him a gentle, pointed reminder, maybe twice. Then he should have forcefully interrupted Trump every time he interrupted.

    The moderates Trump needs to attract aren't buying the pity party schtick.

    Trump turned the first debate into a gong show. He unwisely gave Biden a huge opening to look tough by telling him to "shut up."
    It's not even good propaganda. Trump is off on a wild goose chase when he needs to tell us what he's going to do to get the virus under control. Business has figured out most lost revenues is open businesses not having customers. Only when the virus is under control like it is in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China, and so on will enough customers return to restaurants, malls, travel, and dine out.
    Propaganda Alert!

    What do we want? Evidence.

    Meanwhile, we can't afford to leave Trump to screw around with the virus.

    More unsupported, echo chamber propaganda.

    What is Trump going to do about the pandemic? Our hospitals are already getting overrun in some cities. Better not have a heart attack, stroke, need an operation, or even a scan.

    We can't even get our schools open.

    What is Trump going to do about the pandemic? The economy can't recover until we have the virus under control.

    Comes across as a pity party.

    Wallace should have interrupted whatever Trump was saying when Trump was speaking out of turn.

    Wallace is no friend of Trump. However,
    should have he have told Biden to stop interrupting too.?

    We all saw who was doing most of the interrupting, but Biden isn't above rebuke.
