Trump v Biden: US election debate analysis - Is the presidential debate format broken?

#CutHisMic has been all over social media after a US presidential debate that descended into chaos. Moderator Chris Wallace seemed unable to control Donald Trump, who repeatedly shouted at, insulted and interrupted Joe Biden in Cleveland. Christopher Phelps, associate professor of American studies at Nottingham University, tells us why the TV network would have been reluctant to silence a sitting president, but bosses looking at future debates might well be quicker on the trigger. He also says Mr Trump's aggressive strategy will likely have backfired, with those still undecided on how to vote looking for more substance on what's being done about coronavirus, the economy and a race crisis in the States.

America lost last night. Trump is a child and Biden is past due, neither are great for the country but one has already proven they're terrible. The cycle of voting for the lesser of two evils continues.

The people of USA need SOS a Law that required the Presidents Candidates to:

Phycological and psychiatric tests

Disclosure of their taxes before beginning the Rallies and Campaigns

Create a judicial Committee that have the power to process the President as any USA citizen, when he or she breaks the law. Nobody is above the law.

The candidate should have knowledge in the Law, Geography, . International Affairs, Diplomacy and how to Speak.
