Eighty-four million (American network) viewers. Only a few hundred lucky souls spared. Sad.
Sniff.

And, if he was having problems, why not just mention it at the time so that perhaps it could be fixed? Or, is that āweakā?

It only affected the audio in the hallā¦probably so they didnāt have to endure the constant sniffles.

Not really. Itāll only make him more unhinged to find out that he was right, that people were having trouble hearing him. The problem for him is that even if people in the hall had trouble hearing him, the people at home heard him just fine AND, more importantly, it doesnāt change what he actually said or what heās said in the days since.

Oh well, they couldnāt hear him in the hall, but the point of the debate was the broadcast. 80 million viewers around the world heard him quite clearly. Those in the hall may have not, but they were also instructed to not respond to what was said (although they broke this rule.) I personally do not think there should be any live audiences in the debate halls.

Itās a poor workman who blames his tools.
A wonky mic in the room doesnāt make you interrupt your opponent 50+ times. If it did upset you to the point that you made a dumb mistake, that is just another example of how unprepared you are for the office.

Especially when they hoot like rabid chimps at the mention of a debunked āscandalā
Seems to me I remember hearing that Goreās āsighingā was amplified on playback so the NYT could make an issue out of it. That would be interference, not this BS.

Maybe he believes that he said sane and wonderful things, but the minute the words went into the microphone, they got scrambled, issued out of the speakers as old Hitler speeches.

Yeah, true. It doesnāt really destroy all the progress for us with him having this awful week. I mean, can he only be a temperamentally fit president if the environment surrounding him is absolutely perfect? Trump canāt deal with any diversity whatsoever.

The only thing this changes is that it reinforces the on going grievance of Trump and his committed followers that they are being cheated. Let them caterwaul about their plight. No one beyond the already brain dead is listening to him anymore.

And thatās why the commission decided to say something now.

Taking bets ā will he sue if he loses the election? He said at the debate he would accept the results of the election should Hillary prevail, but I think he is setting the stage for claiming the election was stolen and therefore invalid.

My understanding, based on the debate commissionās previous logic, is that any other source saying his mic didnāt have trouble makes this impossible to fact check. So who really knows, amirite?

Next time theyāll be sure to pair him with a microphone sophisticated enough to fully capture the depth his oratorical abilities.
Note that TOGās momma makes an appearance at the :44 mark.

??? I hadnāt heard that. Source?
Thatās my first thought. All I think of about it is the Commission has lost any sense of mission whatsoever and sets a bad precedent ā they has given in to his threat regarding moderator selection already, so this one is the second time.
