From the comments and clips I think the debate was pretty like being on a plane next to a toddler throwing a fit.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Gud that's pretty much it and MW was offering him placating treats.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hell is drifting off in a meeting that probably won't involve you, though maaaybe it will. So tired. So sleepy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Next Presidential debate is scheduled in Florida--and will be a town hall.
I...ahm.
Meme going around proposing Samuel L. Jackson as moderator. "I said two minutes, Motherf*cker." That, and a kill switch for the candidate not officially speaking, would go far, I think, in "moderating."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
If there was a kill switch, Trump would just bellow anyway, which would be just as (or maybe more) chaotic. He doesn't need a microphone, and he's demonstrated amply in the last 4 years that he won't follow any rules that he doesn't want to follow.

Thrive to spite them
I think anyone who goes over the 2 mins should get slimed. And they dont' get to get cleaned off, they can wipe their face off but then they just stand there, covered in the slime for the debate so it's just layers of the really icky old style You Can't Do That On Television.

I saw a cartoon of the moderator's desk for the next event: shock collar, duct tape, whip, bullhorn, taser. Sounds about right.

Excellent plan, askye!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Turning off Trump's mic would just make him look like less of an asshole (if the TV audience can't see him interrupting) - this idea is much MUCH better.
