U.S. President Joe Biden and power dozer Donald Trump agreed to debate at least twice before the November election. The first debate will be hosted by CNN on June 27 with three ground rules proposed by the Biden campaign and accepted by the Trump campaign: The debate will be staged in a TV studio, candidates’ mics will cut off when the time limit is reached, and only the candidates and moderators will be present.
This is a fine start, but here are some additional ground rules that would make the debate even better.
1. Candidates must agree to having a fact checker in the wings and if a candidate lies, a loud ahooga noise will sound.
