I think that’s actually beneficial. It allows him to lie again, the moderators to fact check, and then Kamala to respond again. He looks dumb and flustered right now.
It makes him look bad to reasonable people, but it also let’s him bluster his way through more and more lies that the brainwashed fox news folk will eat up and consider it him “dominating” over Kamala. Cut the fucking mics ABC, Jesus.
The issue wasn’t that the mics were open, it’s that his wasn’t open during her responses and she would be cut off from responding to his lunatic interruptions. Still made him look bad, but true open mic debate would’ve been way worse for himz
Then the complaint is that he’s not given a chance to speak. Facts and reason didn’t get us into this mess and they won’t get us out either. At this point we have to hope for a McCarthy moment where the spell just collapses. Letting him ramble brings that closer.
Trump has been the wildcard and basically gone against every norm for someone running for office. In 2016 that was more unexpected and the electorate had a clear anti-establishment candidate they could get behind (even though he lost the popular vote).
I think the trick has worn off and we now know how to deal with his antics, plus he’s aged and less coherent. Also he was the establishment for 4 years, and can’t be the wildcard candidate he once was.
I think Vivek Ramaswamy was trying this playbook during the Republican primaries but failed to account for the cult of Trump and the racism in the party. Maybe it would have worked against someone who wasn’t a former president or if Trump was sent to prison sooner.

Kamala and co purposely allowed open mics because he polled much more poorly when he whines over the open mic constantly

Fair enough, I suppose it’s a bit of a line.
