Trump should be more disciplined than in 2020 — and muted microphones will help keep him that way.
President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at the final presidential debate on Oct. 22, 2020, in Nashville. With only days to go before a debate that could disrupt the dynamic of an excruciatingly close race, it would appear that Donald Trump is finally recognizing the perils that go with constantly portraying his opponent as a feeble, doddering old man.Indeed, a formidable one.
Trump grudgingly accepted some reading material and said he might take a look at it. Judging by his unhinged performance at that first debate, he didn’t — or take much of the advice he received, including Christie’s parting admonition to “let Biden talk. … He’ll hang himself.
What viewers will no doubt be measuring most closely is their performances. Does Biden, at 81, appear up to another four years in the job? And is Trump, at 78, too unstable to hold it again? According to the CNN memo distributed to the two campaigns, each candidate will have two minutes to answer a question; his opponent, one minute for rebuttal, and then the first candidate will get another minute for a response to that rebuttal. The moderators will have discretion to determine whether an additional minute for rebuttal or clarification is warranted.
