Respect for the rules

Mike Pence, allegedly a member of the party that stands for law and order, much as his boss did last week, is flagrantly flouting the rules for the debate that were agreed to by both sides. The only difference between Pence and Trump is that is he doing it slightly more decorously, but regrettably, no less flagrantly.

The party of Trump, it seems, believes in law and order when it suits them and not when it doesn't; it is for law an order when people they don't like are being vocal. 

But as we saw last week in the Rose Garden (and arguably a feature of Trump's attitude in general), the rules - like taxes - are only for the "little people" and not for them.   

Unfortunately, Susan Page, despite the clear signals that Trump and his sycophantic VP were desperate to close the gap Biden has opened up by any means necessary and despite starting at the opening of the debate that her job was to ensure the rules were follow, Page has not been up to the job.  She has repeatedly let Pence talk well past his allotted time.
