Debate Commission: There were problems with Trump’s audio…

… but it had nothing to do with the GOP candidate’s sniffles being  heard coast-to-coast:

The commission put out a succinct statement Friday that read, in its entirety: “Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.“

The statement will likely raise more questions than settle them. There’s no detail on what the audio issue was and what the impact was for the live audience. It also makes no mention of the effect, if any, on sound levels for television viewers. Around 84 million people tuned in to watch Monday’s face-off, a record for a presidential debate.

    Trump is a whiny little baby but the TV sound feed was very unfair to Trump (and the TV audience) – I could hear every word he said.

      Exactly….
      10’s of or nearly 100 Millions of people world wide watched..
      And there was no problem with the audio..
      I personally had no problem at all seeing or hearing Donald trump make a fool of himself.

        The problem was only obvious to the people in the hall. The outgoing feeds were all fine.

    WTF is “The Debate Commission”?..
    And who does it consist of?..(trump supporters?)

    • KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker September 30th, 2016 at 21:47

      My thought exactly!
      Just more background noise to drown out common sense & reality.

    yep, heard every word on my tv, and Trump still sucks…

    Like Howard Dean’s mic (TV had his mic only (no crowd noise) while reporters who were there said you could barely hear him over the roar of the crowd)
    Remember, his words, ending with, “Yeah!!” ( the Dean Scream) ended his campaign.
    Imagine the difference in what Trump got away with.

      It’s shocking to know that is what cost Dean his candidacy…
      Trump have done 100 X’s more fugg ups and not a single follower of his cares…

    Why even bother putting this out there? It’s only going to be more fodder for Trump supporters. But I guess there were at least one or two of them on the ‘debate commission;’ so that’s why they put it out. It means nothing, but that won’t stop Trumpers.

      i think is b.s. i know what i heard.

    • Larry Schmitt September 30th, 2016 at 21:09

      They will try to use this to support his claims that it was rigged, even though it makes no sense. In that way, it fits perfectly with the rest of his campaign.

    The only problem rump had with the mic was it was hard to cut his lines on.

  7. StoneyCurtisll September 30th, 2016 at 20:46

    The “problem with the audio” was the idiot behind the microphone…

    • Suzanne McFly September 30th, 2016 at 20:47

      Boom, Stoney drops the mic and walks off the stage lol.

  8. Foundryman September 30th, 2016 at 20:52

    Considering how some in the Trump crowd howled and cheered when he made some comments, I’d have to say they heard him perfectly.

    • StoneyCurtisll September 30th, 2016 at 20:57

      Bingo~! there was no audio difficulty…
      Just the words out of his mouth.

      • Larry Schmitt September 30th, 2016 at 21:10

        The only difficulty was that we could hear every word.

    • whatthe46 October 1st, 2016 at 02:47

      he didn’t hear himself. period.

  9. StoneyCurtisll September 30th, 2016 at 20:55

    I have to wonder….
    How many children’s dead body’s do he have to find under Donald Trumps crawl space for his followers to question his viability to be President?

  10. DogsRgoodpeople October 1st, 2016 at 08:33

    Maybe ‘The Punk’ will use this as an excuse to chicken out of his next scheduled public humiliation.

    • Larry Schmitt October 1st, 2016 at 08:38

      He’s bound to try to use it somehow. But there’s no indication that the “problems” they cite had any effect on anyone’s (him, Hillary, Holt, the live audience, or the TV/radio audience) ability to hear every word of the debate. So whatever he tries to claim, the reporter he tries it with needs to ask him for specifics. But of course they won’t.
