Egad.

I heard every stupid thing he said, which means I heard everything.

With the split-screen format, Donnie would have been much better off if the video portion failed.

It took them five days to figure that out? But, he can’t help but traffic in conspiracies, however.

They’ve been trying to tell us, but their mike was out.

So a few hundred in the hall had issues hearing him. 80 million others did not.

The one-sentence statement from the debate commission did not suggest that the audio issues Trump experienced affected the television broadcast of the debate.

There weren’t any problems with the broadcast. I heard every stupid thing he said loud and clear. He’ll probably claim there was without presenting any evidence (since there isn’t any), but you can pretty much bet this will become an article of faith in the wingnut wurlitzer.

Does anyone remember that debate in 2008 where it seemed a fan was blowing right at Barack Obama’s podium and ruffling his notes? More than once, he tried holding down the notes with a pencil and it kept rolling off.

Then do you remember how Barack Obama blamed his debate performance on the fan blowing around his papers? ME EITHER

Exactly!!!

Some microphones are very sensitive to having excrement being spit on them.

Well, that’s okay. I’m sure Donald will do smashingly well at the next debate. He’s really doing a wonderful job holding himself together.

I’m sure the red face and spittle flying from his lips has to do with something else.

He’s certainly not having any trouble sleeping.

This is the price he extracted for him to show up to Debate #2.

Seriously, has anyone read or heard an attendee saying the sound was bad in the hall? I haven’t. I’m willing to believe it, but
I think I would have heard it from someone besides Trump.

That has no impact on what he actually said though.

Must have been up in the higher registers not audible to normal humans, 'cause I heard him loud and clear.

Seriously? I heard him just fine, loud and clear. Way louder and clearer than I wanted to, as a matter of fact. Is the debate commission staffed by the NRC? Some people say they are. Lots of people are saying they are. Some say the Russians have infiltrated the Debate commission. I don’t know. It should be looked into. Sad!
