Harris campaign requested unmuted mics - it was Trump's team that was worried about him making an ass of himself with interruptions. With that in mind they might be letting him talk because it's what Harris wanted in the first place.

Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake.

every prosecutor wants to get a defendant on the stand and she did a great job of letting him babble. I think at one point she shook her head and said "he doesn't remember the question" her mic was off though so I'm not sure

They need to use electrodes and as you go over your time or interrupt you get a small shock that gets larger each time you offend.

Not a bad idea honestly, it clearly worked as intended

None of that should matter if the moderators had the a drop of a spine. They don't. They should be banned from ever moderating again.

They fact-checked constantly during the first half, which was a huge improvement over former debates. Honestly I thought this was better moderated than any previous debate involving Trump.
