THAT, my friends, will be must see TV. Has anyone other than Fred Trump ever told Cheeto to STFU? Here, CNN will be effectively MAKING Cheeto shut up when it is not his turn to speak. I expect a whole bunch of arm waving and shouting from Cheeto when this happens. He may even stomp off the stage.
Cheeto and his sycophants (such as Mike Johnson) have already gotten busy "pre-blaming" CNN for "rigging" the debate. Viz:
Never mind that both Biden's and Cheeto's campaigns have negotiated and approved the terms of this debate (e.g., no live audience, no teleprompters, no written notes, and muting the microphone of each candidate when his turn to speak is over) I have to wonder how much of a grace period they will allow, before muting a microphone, if a candidate goes beyond his allotted time. I hope they allow very short grace periods, and apply that rule consistently.
