Debate Debacle

   News media worldwide went bonkers over the childish behavior of the president during the televised debate Tuesday evening.
   As expected, the debate quickly degenerated into a swamp of interruptions, name-calling, insults and lies, largely made by the Donald Trump.
   Eventually, however, former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate, said, "Will you shut up, man?" and referred to Trump as a "clown."
   Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News was unable to persuade the president to avoid interrupting, reminding him that both sides had agreed that the debaters would not interrupt.
   Trump's response was, "He did it too!" a defense normally used by children who are caught misbehaving.
   In all, the debacle led the organizers of the debate to say there would be changes in the way future debates are conducted.
   Some of the suggestions included attaching an "off" switch on each debater's microphones so the moderator could turn them off. That, however, would not stop someone from talking. And there is the possibility that future debates would be cancelled.
