Image: Debate Organizers Admit There Were 'Issues' with Trump's Microphone
Friday, 30 Sep 2016
When Donald Trump complained about his microphone after his televised presidential debate Monday with Hillary Clinton, few people believed him -- viewers had no trouble understanding his words.
But on Friday, the well-respected Commission on Presidential Debates said that in fact, the Republican candidate was right.
"Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump's audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall," the commission said on its website, without elaborating.
In that terse phrase the independent group thus confirmed that Trump was right in denouncing the quality of his microphone, even if his initial complaint was met with widespread derision and disbelief.
"They gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that?" he asked reporters after the debate, which was viewed by a record-breaking 84 million people in the US alone.
"My mic was defective within the room. I wonder, was that on purpose? Was that on purpose?"
Hillary Clinton, enjoying the moment after a debate in which Trump seemed to struggle as the evening wore on, quipped that "anyone complaining about microphones is not having a good night."
It was not clear how much difference the technical problems might actually have made. Trump's words were at all times audible on the several networks that carried the debate, though at times there seemed to be a slight echo.
That might, however, have been distracting for the candidate, particularly one who seems to thrive on audience reactions.

mic positioning. i said it days ago. he had to project to be heard, so everything sounded like yelling.
hers was an inch from her mouth, so she could be gentle and it sounded better.
-
...and that's why he lost the debate? Ah, ok. ::)
-
I don't hear Trump say he "lost" because of the mic issues. Nobody "won" that debate anyway.
-
The mic worked fine. The levels in the room might have been poorly balanced, but the sound was correct on the broadcast.

So....you were there even though the debate organizers already admitted there were problems when everyone at first called trump a liar for him saying "there was a problem with my mic"....got it.

O Rly? Then why did they say this: "Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump's audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall," the commission said on its website, without elaborating.

Yep. I don't care what the polls say. I know what I saw. They both suck at debating. It was, for the most part, both of them regurgitating talking points.
