This has not yet been finalized but this is what they plan to do . Trump did himself no favors in the way that he constantly interrupted Biden, spoke over Biden, continually insulted himself and just manifested what an asshole he is. Trump needs to win over new voters, especially suburban women, and that type of performance only hurt him. Nevertheless, it was frustrating. Biden is winning on character. So, he can’t get in the mud and wrestle with the pig. The spectators wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them, Biden would get mud on him, and the pig would love it. So, mimicking Trump’s behavior wouldn’t have been a good move. The goal is not to feel better because you got off the better insults. The goal for Biden is to win by as big a margin as he can. This creates an asymmetric problem for Biden. That’s why it is very good news that the Commission overseeing the presidential debates has decided to cut off the microphone if either candidate breaks the rules. This will help Biden to be able to communicate better and will mean Trump will look even worse.
Debates commission plans to cut off mics if Trump or Biden break rules:
Washington — The commission that oversees the general election presidential debates said Wednesday it will be making changes to the format of the remaining two debates. One key change it plans to implement: Cutting off the microphones of President Trump and Joe Biden if they break the rules, according to a source familiar with the commission's deliberations. The plans have not been finalized and the commission is still considering how it would carry out the plan.
In a statement following the presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, the first of three scheduled in the run-up to the general election, the commission said the event "made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues."
If people want, I will remove my next writing based upon request . I acknowledge that it is not directly relevant . However, there were some statements made by 538 that really grabbed my attention.
President Trump’s quest to win a second term is not in good shape. He entered Tuesday night’s debate with roughly a 7- or 8-point deficit in national polls, putting him further behind at this stage of the race than any other candidate since Bob Dole in 1996.1
If we look at potential tipping-point states, the race is a bit closer, but not that much closer. After a couple of strong polls for Joe Biden earlier this week in Pennsylvania — the state that’s currently most likely to decide the election — Trump now trails there by 5 to 6 points. He’s down by about 7 points in Michigan and Wisconsin, meanwhile. Those states, along with Minnesota, Maine and New Hampshire — where Biden has also polled strongly lately — suggest that Biden is winning back some of the Obama-Trump white working-class voters who flocked to Trump four years ago. Indeed, Biden is as close to winning South Carolina or Alaska as Trump is to winning Michigan and Wisconsin, based on recent polls of those states.Now, I’m not predicting this will happen, but if Biden’s national lead were to expand to 9 or 10 points, which is consistent with the sorts of polling bounces we’ve seen in the past for candidates who were perceived to win debates — especially challengers debating an incumbent for the first time — Trump’s situation could become quite desperate
Furthermore, the mere passage of time helps Biden in our model, because every day that Trump doesn’t gain ground is a day when his fate becomes slightly more sealed. (Lots of people have already voted!) Case in point: In an election held today — Trump has no more time to make up ground — his chances would be 9 percent, not 21 percent, according to our forecast.
Since we launched our general election polling averages on June 18, Biden has never led by less than 6.6 points nationally. Literally only one national poll — a Rasmussen Reports poll that put Trump ahead by less than a full percentage point — has shown Trump leading by any margin during that period. It’s been an exceptionally stable race.
