ABC is being pathetically weak in controlling Trump rebuttal time. They are letting him walk all over them.

Harris campaign requested unmuted mics - it was Trump's team that was worried about him making an ass of himself with interruptions. With that in mind they might be letting him talk because it's what Harris wanted in the first place.

Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake.

every prosecutor wants to get a defendant on the stand and she did a great job of letting him babble. I think at one point she shook her head and said "he doesn't remember the question" her mic was off though so I'm not sure

Not a bad idea honestly, it clearly worked as intended

None of that should matter if the moderators had the a drop of a spine. They don't. They should be banned from ever moderating again.

They fact-checked constantly during the first half, which was a huge improvement over former debates. Honestly I thought this was better moderated than any previous debate involving Trump.

They need to use electrodes and as you go over your time or interrupt you get a small shock that gets larger each time you offend.

Trump would die in 15 minutes.

Seems like a win win

Honestly don't know what it takes for an asshole to be put in his place. Most people are weak in this sense, I mean, we see it in every day lives too. It took me so much fucking working to get this sociopathic criminal pushed out of my friend group. Most people didn't "want to make things awkward".
