The initial agreement was that the first debate would be respectful and each candidate would get 2 minutes uninterrupted to answer each question. An agreement which Trump violated 128 times. He has nothing to say that is logically defensible. His entire debate strategy is to shout over his opponent and dominate with sheer bombast.
Everybody I've read is fed up with it, except for Trump's loyal propaganda bureau at Fox News.
Over the years several people have tried to moderate Trump, and all have failed. He has no respect for any of the normal conventions of debate, he interrupts and shouts over people and nothing, not even a signed agreement, will stop him. Having the power to cut his mike is the only thing that would make him debate in a civilized manner, so of course he won't put himself in a position where that is possible. That's all that this is about. There's no logical or technical reason to refuse a virtual debate. As far back as 1960, one of the Nixon-Kennedy debates was virtual, and we've had 60 years of technological advances since then, so a virtual debate could be completely seamless and smooth. The only reason Trump won't do it is that it could be used to prevent his thuggish behaviour in shouting over his opponent.

Just a note to thank the democrat rats... thanks for running CA into the dirt and making it the fifth largest economy in the world (ahead of India and it's 1.3 billion people).

NO. I support people respectfully waiting their turn to speak. I support people having the goddamn common decency to listen politely while their opponent is making his point, and then making their point.

Ok, so then you don't support the restriction of cutting someone's mic then.

If he's a repeat offender and won't stop interrupting, then yes. Of course I would cut his mike until it's his turn to speak.
Not for a first offense and not even for a third, but once the interruptions would reach double digits, then for sure. There's no way I would let someones offenses get into triple digits as they did with Trump.

It's because the Rats have loaded it with pork to prop up their failing states that are so badly managed people are organizing coup attempts. From CNBC ...
Sorry Rats, you don't get 25% more just because Cuomo and Newsom have run New York and California into the dirt. Either we get as much as you, or no one gets anything. We'll let this bitch burn to the ground before you get one red cent more than us.

Please pick one or the other. You can't have it both ways.

If people are not playing by the rules and interrupting others, they need to be told to STFU until it's their turn. For most people this is a really simple issue.

Other wise it's a speech or a lecture and you only need one side present.
They are only proposing turning off the mic to force him to pause. It's different from taking his mic away.
