California Gov. Gavin Newsomā€™s (D) team slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisā€™ Ā® counterproposal for a debate as a ā€œjokeā€ on Saturday, claiming that the Republican presidential candidateā€™s suggested rules are meant to ā€œhide his insecurity and ineptitude.ā€

    Just thought of a great debate adjustment. Each side gets equal time, and every time they jump in and interrupt the person whose time it is, they get double that amount of time taken off their next turnā€¦and their mic is cut entirely during that time. The amount of childish, unmoderated foot stomping and disrespect is absolutely ridiculous lately.

      Iā€™d like to add, that the mic isnā€™t cut out, precisely. Rather. What I would like to see is that the mic is instead piped into a speech-to-text generator so we can get subtitles.

      Let the main pundit speak, but let us see the subtitles of the ā€œno thatā€™s not trueā€ type bullshit.
