The moderators of the first two debates didn't even bother to hide their preference for the Democratic Party candidates.  For anyone paying attention, the question going in was not whether Holt and Quijano would behave prejudicially toward Donald Trump and Mike Pence (respectively), but rather in what ways and how often.  The Republicans had to work hard to overcome the blatant unfairness of the proceedings and get their message across.

Apparently "mad as hell" after the Holt fiasco and deciding "not to take it anymore," Trump told his followers he would be tweeting during the Pence-Kaine debate.  He said he'd start the live tweets at 8:30 and then decided to get going earlier:

@realDonaldTrump

Wow, @CNN is so negative. Their panel is a joke, biased and very dumb. I'm turning to @FoxNews where we get a fair shake! Mike will do great

About twenty minutes in, Trump tweeted this:

@realDonaldTrump

Our@mike_pence looks great. kaine can't defend all those lies#makeamericagreatagain

At 9:35, Trump did a bit of fact-checking and tweeted this:

@timkaine oversaw unemployment INCREASE by 179,249 while @mike_pence DECREASED unemployment in Indiana by 113,826. #BigLeagueTruth

At 9:46, there was this tweet from Trump:

@HillaryClinton Sneers At Millions Of Average Americans.http://bit.ly/2dtH6yD  #VPDebate #BigLeagueTruth

At 10:26, recalling the rudeness Holt showed interrupting him some 41 times, Trump tweeted this:

Cannot believe how often the moderator interrupts #Pence vs the other guy...so obvious@FoxNews" So true!

A list of the live tweets Trump sent can be read here.

Commentators took Trump to task for his tweets.  During a post-debate interview with Megyn Kelly, Charles Krauthammer opined that the Trump campaign should "take away his phone."

Well, here's my suggestion: on the contrary, Trump should take his phone with him to the next debate with Hillary Clinton and tweet during the debate.  I don't know if "the rules" allow him to do that, but he should do it anyway.

This would be a wonderful opportunity for Americans to read, live, what Trump thinks of Hillary's various answers, including her non-answers, evasions, legalisms, double-talk, "what the meaning is 'is' is" nonsense, and outright lies.  He could do this without fear of interruption from the moderator.  It would also be an opportunity for Trump to speak to the issue of moderator fairness.

Unprecedented?  Sure.  An idea whose time has come?  You betcha!
