The commission that oversees the general election debates between candidates for president and vice president said Wednesday it will be making changes to the format of the remaining two presidential debates after Tuesday's face-off between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, was marred by frequent interruptions by the president and mud-slinging.
In a statement following the presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, the first of three scheduled in the run-up to the general election, the Commission on Presidential Debates said the event "made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues."

Thank. ****ing. God. If nothing else, only the candidate whose turn it is should have their mic activated.
Massive understatement, but I'll take it. America deserves better than the shitshow trump gave us last night.
Another move to protect the addled Biden from mean 'ol Trump. Trump is so heartless, he picks on a senile man.Debates commission plans to cut off mics if Trump or Biden break rules

The format was fine for normal adult candidates. I don't think they realized how much Trump has deteriorated since the debates in 2016. The moderator needs to be given tools to compensate for the effects of Trumps worsening pathologies.I agree with this, but I think it's ultimately futile.
The problem isn't the format. The problem is Trump.

Let's face it. If the Democrats really think Biden won, they wouldn't be calling for changes, which they did this morning. The fact that their allies who run the debates agree with them is telling.The format was fine for normal adult candidates.

The polls are leftwing biased just like the media is. Just like they were in 2016. Democrats are very upset because Trump goaded Biden into saying he didn't support the Green New Deal.What’s telling is that virtually every poll and instant analysis gave the debate to Biden, and yet here you are - one of the folks that proclaimed he wouldn’t show up at all - insisting a victory is “telling”.
You know what is super telling? Trump knows he‘s in so much trouble, last night he couldn’t even keep his cool with Sleepy Joe. It was Biden who baited *him* into the Proud Boys comment.
4d chess is real, and Sleepy Joe is a playa.
Democrats aren't calling for changes. The Commission for Presidential Debates is an independent, bipartisan body that sets up the debates. They didn't like what they saw, because Trump out did himself in the asshole department.Let's face it.

Democrats indeed called for changes before the commission announced them. Maybe read the post before you respond to it.Democrats aren't calling for changes.

Yeah, yeah. Everybody's biased against Trump. It's you and Trump and the Proud Boys against America.The polls are leftwing biased just like the media is. Just like they were in 2016. Democrats are very upset because Trump goaded Biden into saying he didn't support the Green New Deal.
As always, Trump knows the real rules of the game. It's not to be pollte in debate; it's to show who's a strong leader for America versus who would be a weak puppet. Biden was so frail and fragile. Nobody in America thinks he's fit to lead.
Really? Nowhere in the OP or in the article does it say that. Quote the relevant passage that proves me wrong.Democrats indeed called for changes before the commission announced them. Maybe read the post before you respond to it.
I said it in my post #8. I said Democrats called for changes ahead of the commission's ruling. In #12, you then claimed Democrats weren't calling for changes. You didn't read what I wrote, and so you were wrong.Really? Nowhere in the OP or in the article does it say that. Quote the relevant passage that proves me wrong.
Biden was weak. Trump was strong. That's really the takeaway.As a former Republican now Independent, I was disappointed in the "debate". Was more disappointed on how Trump behaved than I was with Biden.
I dislike debates when people interrupt the the one speaking. Both were guilty of it. imo, Trump more so. I expect better from a President.
Funny. Yes Biden was weak in acting as belligerent at Trump. Trump was strong in showing how rude and out of touch he can be.Biden was weak. Trump was strong. That's really the takeaway.

I what area are you saying Trump was out of touch during the debate?Funny. Yes Biden was weak in acting as belligerent at Trump. Trump was strong in showing how rude and out of touch he can be.
That is the real take away
Trump will NOT allow this. He has been cheered, on Fox news, for DOMINATING Biden, who had trouble getting a work out, they said. The image of Trump trying to interupt, impotently, looks weak. HE WILL NOT agree to this. And Guliani is one of his negotiators.Debates commission plans to cut off mics if Trump or Biden break rules

Just because you said it, doesn't make it so. Democrats didn't call for changes. The Commission on Presidential Debates did. Show me where Democrats called for changes. Back up what you claim with facts. That's what debates are about.I said it in my post #8. I said Democrats called for changes ahead of the commission's ruling. In #12, you then claimed Democrats weren't calling for changes. You didn't read what I wrote, and so you were wrong.
Whiny toddlers aren't strong. Loudmouthed bullies are not strong. They're just loud and rude, like Trump.Biden was weak. Trump was strong. That's really the takeaway.
