I don't think there should be in-person audiences for debates covid or no covid.

nor do I believe it should be a forum that can be manipulated. Organized, professionally run debate with REAL questions and follow-up when a participant deflects.

of course Trump will never agree to no audience. Manipulating an audience of halfwits is all he has since intellect, wisdom and humanity are all missing.

answered, they should cut the mic. Trump doesn't know enough to answer a question in depth.. which is why he makes it up on the fly and avoids direct answers, always pivoting to his greatness.
