In a statement Monday, Harris’ team said the campaigns were in a dispute over whether the microphones at the forum should be muted when the other candidate is speaking.
“We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the full broadcast,” Brian Fallon, a Harris spokesperson, said in a statement. “Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.”
“The Vice President is ready to deal with Trump’s constant lies and interruptions in real time,” Fallon added. “Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button.”

It’s really a catch-22 for the Trump team at this point. Trump *hates* the mute button, but the Trump team realizes he’s going to just ramble incoherently and yell racist slurs if unchecked

Be a man Trump. You know best, you always have the greatest ideas, your campaign just wants to sabotage you because they are jealous of how perfect you are. Don’t listen to them! You do you!

This campaign has done such a great job of handling him, this is what should’ve been done in the first place.

He does have an incredible skill of talking over people and non-stop like a jackhammer. It’s rudeness, I guess. I laugh when the news speaks of his policy or anything that requires intellect or critical thinking. I don’t believe he could stop off and pick up a quart of milk without f’ing it all up.

How can he object? Is he going to say he doesn’t want the general public to hear what he says?
He could just not say anything when the other person is speaking.
Or admit to having absolutely no control over the free assocation that pours out of his damaged brain.

I would also like to avoid arguing with a prosecutor.

Chances go up that we’ll hear the hard R if there’s no mute button

If he stays in, she carves him up like a thanksgiving turkey while telling the audience the best way to cook a turkey.
If he backs out, she calls him a coward and gets a 90 minute townhall all to herself in a prime time tv slot.
Absolute win-win for her.

They know he’ll bury his campaign under the copious amount of shit that will come out of his mouth.

“When asked for comment, Trump shouted ‘I’M NOT WEIRD!’, and then he shit his pants again.”

Harris will still not let him speak when it’s not his turn, and that’s what could make Trump actually explode on live tv … a strong woman reprimanding him. I could be glorious.

Conspiracy theory: his campaign doesn’t want him to debate without a mute button because he’s already using racial slurs in private

Now this is hilarious. Trump team wants Trump tape mouthed, while the Harris team wants the megaphone to his mouth to be on at all times. Funny that.
I’m guessing they think he will rant off some misogynistic BS which the Trump team is scared shitless about. Knowing Trump, it’s sure to happen. Bring the popcorn!
Right Repubs?

It’s ridiculous that in a presidential campaign one candidate is effectively flapping her wings while making chicken noises at the other candidate, but it’s even more ridiculous that this is exactly the kind of thing that candidate can’t handle.

kinda tough for a campaign when your candidate is a huge liability
he was so against it in the first debate with Biden. what’s changed, Donny? 🤣

Remember how Harris turned Pence in to a submissive child during the Vice President’s debate? Oh, just imagining the things she would say to absolutely dismantle the Annoying Orange is wonderful.

This is a joke. The american system is broken if this guy is 1 of 2 choices to be president. The electoral college gives the dakotas 4 senators and california 2. Republicans don’t care about anything other than power, they are destroying our country. Trump should just be a joke, instead he’s been empowered and is evil. Pathetic.

Someone should point a microphone at his ass so we all know the exact moment(s) in the debate where he shits in his pants.

They know he will say the N word or C word under his breath, he won’t be able to stop himself.
Impressive-Tip-903 on
I have to admit, I never expected this to be the reason they couldn’t agree on the venue. I figured Trump would prefer to argue and talk over his opponent. Harris is coming in hot
Head on
I don’t think this is about the mute button. This is about Trump trying to exert his “power” by changing the rules and acting like he’s in charge. Kamala knows how to deal with bullies by taking away their power.
