Quotable

“You’re reluctant—as somebody who has said from the very beginning that I wanted to be as invisible as possible, and to enable them to talk—to rise to the point at which you begin to interject more and more. First to say, please don’t interrupt,’ then ‘Plrase obey the rules,’ and third,’ This isn’t serving the country well.’ Those are all tough steps at real time, at that moment, on that stage… As a practical matter, even if the president’s microphone had been shut, he still could have continued to interrupt, and it might well have been picked up on Biden’s microphone, and it still would have disrupted the proceedings in the hall.” – “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace talking to the NYT on the first presidential debate
