Siwsan
(26,257 posts)1. He is already claiming he had a defective microphone
He was shouting so much, I don't even know why he needed one.

Just play the tape back. All I heard was a bunch of chaotic noise...

(528 posts)2. That'll be part of the morning spin.
Somehow the "lying" media will get the blame, even though it was Trump's own words. They'll claim it was a complete conspiracy to make him look bad.

(70,182 posts)4. per msnbc just now--Trump is crying that his mic was not working. (did not hear him tell Lester

What a loser!

(82,849 posts)5. He needed a few minutes to think up his excuse
He was too busy trying to cover up from Clinton's pummeling while the debate was going on. Now that he's had a chance to take an antihistamine, clear his head, and think up an excuse, he's decided it was the mic, not what the mic was picking up, that was defective.

He was really brilliant & the mic turned into gibberish
