Evidently the sticking point for the presidential debate is a mute button. Now if I told you one sde wants a mute button but the other side does not, which would be which?
Well, the Trump campaign is arguing there SHOULD BE a mute button while the Harris camp is insisting there SHOULD NOT BE a mute button.
Now ain't that a kick in the head for the free speech republican folks?
The Harris camp is betting that DonOLD does not have the impulse control to shut his orange mouth for two minutes and the Trump campaign seems to agree, therefore they want the moderators to keep him from spouting the crazy like water from a firehose while Harris is speaking.
From a statement by the Harris-Walz campaign:
"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. 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. We suspect Trump’s team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don’t think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button..."
