Time given to each candidate: anyone put a stopwatch on the debate?

It seemed to me that the Republican Felon got way more time, and that he blew off the moderators at least 4 or 5 times to insert his bloviation.

So who got the most time? And by how much? Seemed way unbalanced to this viewer.

trump spoke 39 times and Harris spoke 23 times. trump spoke 5 minutes longer than Harris.

I may have the numbers a bit off, but that's what I remember.

The imbalance was obvious. In that respect I thought the moderators were weak, passively submissive to the G.O.P's convicted Felon/Rapist.

Like the whole corrupted republican party, come to think of it.

Although to be honest, some of the repubes are actively submissive. Got to be fair.

The more he talks/bloviates, the less voters like him.

Some people like that but I think a lot of people recognize it as rude.

Every time he opened his shriveled pie hole, he lost voters.

It's more of a problem for him than it is for us. Please proceed.
