If he won't be able to bully, big lie, ramble, or interrupt via hot mics, then Trump has lost the debate already. In fact, I think the very reason why Kamala asked for hot mics -- so publicly and so quickly -- is precisely because it would "force" Trump to "disagree" and insist on muted ones. Rope-a-dope, anyone?
