Just heard on CNN that there was something wrong with trumpie's mike

[senseandsensibility]

at the debate. Did not affect what TV viewers heard, only those at the venue. No link.

1. There is something wrong with his head.

Something wrong with his health.

I would have both of those checked out before worrying about a mic.

2. The Presidential Debate commission has confirmed

that there was something wrong with his mic.

3. I can pretty much guarantee they did a mic check, before the debate

He kept fiddling with the mic, during the debate. I noticed it in the video at this post, from earlier today:

4. So, a thousand people had trouble hearing him

versus the millions that didn't.

Unless he's claiming that he couldn't hear himself talking it's a moot point.

5. OK, ever heard the story of the boy who cried WOLF?

[JoePhilly]

6. Yea ... it was ON.

7. I hope they go through and look at tapes of who if anyone was on stage before the debate

. Also watch the debate itself , I would not put it past Don doing something himself so it did not work . If that is even the case .

8. They had two mics each. One on the podium and a lapel mic as backup.

So the charge that the mic was bad is BS. If the mic was bad TV viewers would have noticed.

9. And the more important questions

are a) whether he would have known this at the time and b) whether this accounts for his sniffling.

Now, if he couldn't have known this at the time but did, then that raises the question that he had an earpiece where someone told him that.

10. That's funny

I had a friend in the hall and she said she didn't notice a thing. It was the first thing I asked her. I think someone on DU was also there.

11. Yes. Brooklynite was there and has posted

12. They figured out what the problem was...

It didn't stop him from sounding like an idiot.

I guess he is supposed to have a magic mike.

13. This is so high.....Drumpf cannot be responsible for ANYTHING..WHETHER it's there or not there.

[mrsv]

14. So does that mean

Everything I heard him say...he didn't

[zenabby]

15. did it cause his words to become garbled?

Coz that's how incoherent his words were when the mike was unfortunately working.
