Republicans want them muted; Democrats don’t.

Each team has had the benefit of seeing what it was like with muted microphones. Democrats say Trump appeared more docile last month when he wasn’t allowed to pop off when he pleased, giving him a false veneer of discipline. Republicans accuse Harris of fearing the silence of Trump’s muted microphone.

    So… The reason that they want the mic muted is because they openly admit they don’t trust Trump is incapable of maintaining self-discipline? And yet they work to have put him in one of the most powerful positions in the world. Good job, cognitive dissonant idiots.

    Harris should, during one of her debate answers, ask him if he’s not afraid to unmute his mic for the whole debate.

    He said we wasn’t afraid to unmute. Fine. Have both candidates agree to a rule change while on the stage. All it means is that some person no longer has to hover over two buttons.

    Harris is trying to unironically plan a 4d chess strategy completely unaware that Trump will just shit all over the board and every single one of his supporters will declare it genius.

      Her strategy already worked. The point was “trump can’t control himself” and that was the story for a week

    I’m convinced Dems want the mics muted and just pulled some classic reverse psychology on Republicans to make them double down on muted mics. It’s too easy to bait them with stuff like this.
