That’s the only way it’s a good idea. Otherwise, he’ll just keep interrupting her throughout the whole thing and she won’t be able to get a word in edgewise.

Yes she’s a former prosecutor and thus used to argue for a living but that was a) a long time ago and b) in a highly regulated setting where there’s serious consequences for breaking decorum.

In a “debate” on a for-profit yellow media outlet, he’s not going to be held in check by the moderator(s) or anyone else and even though most if not all of his blathering is going to be lies, he’s likely going to win by default for being “high energy” or whatever bullshit the corrupt pundit class comes up with to spin his lunacy and childish bullying as a show of strength.

That’s how it read to me:

“The VP is ready to debate Trump live and uncensored,” Harris’ advisor Brian Fallon wrote on X on Monday. “Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button.”

Fallon suggested that Trump’s campaign would not agree to that condition, writing that Trump “should reject his handlers’ attempts to muzzle him via a muted microphone.”

That’s already what the Trump team is demanding. They want to have mics muted because they realized how much better it made Trump look at the Biden debate.

there’s no way he would do that. that goes against every fiber of his being.
