So about the debates,

if Roadkill tries to bully, and you know he will, and the moderators cannot control him, what then? I think that the issues will not be debated anyway, because roadkill can't hang, maybe the audience will just boo him off the stage. Should be interesting as to how the motherfucker's bully crap is handled.

Have some live wires attached to him while hooking up his microphone pre-debate. Then when he strays off topic and starts hurling insults at Clinton rather than answering the question, the moderator can press a button and release a strong current.

Would that be inhumane even for use on Don the Con?

put the two of them in glass booths, and when the pumpkinated jerk goes nuts, just shut his mike off.

Remember the best line of the 2012 debates:

"Please proceed, governor"

When your opponent is about to say something stupid, let him talk. And trump is always about to say something stupid.

Hes polling around 38%. That is the lowest a major presidential candidate has been at in decades. People absolutely hate Trump. If hes an asshole during the debates, most people will think "god, what an asshole". If he takes the same approach that caused him to be losing by near double digits then good. It will cause him to continue to lose by near double digits.
