According to some websites, there are heavy censorship rules in effect for the Trump-Biden debate.

Instead of a 7 second delay, it's going to be a 1-2 minute delay.

If Trump says something forbidden, they're going to turn off his microphone, and use the tape delay to edit out whatever he says.

They're probably also going to edit out any Biden "senior moments".

If they're forced to use the tape delay, then the moderators will stall for time and ask a long-winded question that gets edited out. This enables them to re-establish their censorship tape delay buffer.

There's no audience, so it won't be obvious that the debate is being edited in realtime.

Why would anyone on the Republican side agree to these ridiculous terms? Trump probably agreed, because he figured an unfair debate is no debate, and he would look like the bad guy if he said "This is stupid!"

If I was advising Trump, I would have him wear a wire so he could release the "unedited" debate afterwards.
