    I actually think this is what they’re doing. Trump would by far benefit the most from a hot mic - talking (shouting) over his opponents is like half of his debate “strategy” and it sadly usually works out for him. Even with courtroom experience I’m not sure Harris can wrangle him.

    However, taunting him into accepting a more formal debate structure with muted mics and speaking in turns would take away his favourite move.

      They’re going to make us watch a privileged piece of garbage shout, “No, you!” As a woman is trying to speak.
