I might actually watch these. I'd say there's a significant chance of something highly entertaining and/or excessively cringe-worthy occurring from either one or both of these characters.

Definitely. It's sad they have to cut microphones, but such is the degraded political environment these days...normalized impoliteness.

Hence the need for trapdoors and shock collars.
Lord knows, we can't have one candidate call the other a "clown," or a "buffoon" to his face.

What I fear exactly - a world where people only behave because technology forces them to.

It would possibly be more appropriate to have a naughty chair. They could electrify it for a repeat offence.

Tech evolution:
Sticks & stones —> whips —> guns —> tasers/shock collars —> surveillance tech (networked cameras) —> drugs/medications —> neural implants

Both candidates have accepted the network’s invitation and agreed to accept the rules and format of the debate, as outlined in letters sent to the campaigns by the network in May.
The 90-minute debate will include two commercial breaks, according to the network, and campaign staff may not interact with their candidate during that time.
Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip.
Microphones will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak. While no props or pre-written notes will be allowed on the stage, candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.
Some aspects of the debate – including the absence of a studio audience – will be a departure from previous debates. But, as in the past, the moderators “will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion,” according to the network.

What about the drug tests?

Damn, no trap door or shock collar.
Otherwise, I'm good with these rules.
Disappointed that anti-Trump Tapper and Bash are the "moderators."

I'd like to see Megyn Kelly or Bret Baier.

They’d be good choices but Trump considers Megan Kelly as anti-Trump and Brett is probably prohibited from moonlighting with CNN.

I was hesitant about Kelly as a choice, given the animus that seemed to exist back in 2016. Nevertheless, I think she's fair.
