• Kamala Harris’ campaign is demanding that microphones stay unmuted at the next debate.
  • It’s a break from Joe Biden, who insisted on microphone muting at the June 27 debate.
  • It indicates the vice president thinks outbursts from Trump would end up benefiting her.

    I didn’t know about the muted mics at the last debate so when I saw all the highlights I was surprised how calm and respectful Trump was to Biden. I couldn’t understand it, I thought maybe he was being kind and had some sympathy to Biden due to his ill state at the time.

    But then I remembered who the F he is and now I know his mic was muted it all makes sense. I’m surprised he didn’t just try shouting anyway over the muted mic.

    But just watching those highlights in isolation without that knowledge it almost… kinda almost made him seem human.

    So definitely, unmute the mics so we see the real Trump and let him implode.

      It actually worked for Biden too. I guess he forgot?

      “Will you shut up man!?” Is the only thing I remember from that debate
