Debate Organizers To Tweak Format To Ensure "More Orderly" Discussion After Chaotic Trump-Biden Face Off Tyler Durden Wed, 09/30/2020 - 13:44 The Commission on Presidential Debates has apparently realized that leaving Chris Wallace to moderate the first debate between President Trump and Joe Biden by himself probably wasn't the smartest idea. So the commission is promising to impose tweaks to the format to "ensure a more orderly discussion" - ie stop the next debate from going "off the rails" like the last one did. As speculation about empowering moderators to cut the speakers' microphones intensifies, the statement also promises to equip future moderators with additional tools to keep the political rivals from going over their time, and speaking out of turn. New: Commission on Presidential Debates says "last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues." pic.twitter.com/pkjT1Bs6IQ — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1311355302969778176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); Twitter has been alight with jokes about the rambunctiousness exhibited by President Trump and, to a lesser degree, Joe Biden. Lol at the people who thought the debate would be anything other a shit show and anything other than two old, grumpy career con artists yelling at each other. — Whitney Webb (@_whitneywebb) https://twitter.com/_whitneywebb/status/1311263421795573764?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); The only positive of the Two Old People Yelling Show last night: pic.twitter.com/XHo1laxLAX — king of mariokart (@KeepItShiny) https://twitter.com/KeepItShiny/status/1311242503568400384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); We look forward to learning more details about what the commission will allow. As far as Trump is concerned, even if you cut his mic - he can just keep shouting. CNN initially declared the debate a "shitshow" on live television, a view that was later parroted by Wall Street.
