How did this faulty mic affect things? I do not recall any point in the debate where he could not be heard loud and clear. In fact a mic that randomly shut off probably would have helped him by lowering the number of interruptions.

I didn't watch the debate, but something about the sniffles/etc? And Trump attributed it to a faulty mic making sounds/picking up other sounds?

Yes, the mic that was too soft to pick up his voice was working so well that it picked up his sniffles. Let's go with that...

According to the CNN article, it affected what people in the debate hall heard, but not those watching on TV. You know, the .01% of the total audience. Clearly Hillary is a diabolical genius.

As I said, I didn't watch, just heard comments in the waves of aftermath. Not accusing nor defending anything about MicrophoneGate.

When the internet was young it quickly made the world smaller and a bit more empathetic, I think, as regular folks could, for the first time really, have conversations and interactions with other regular folks from all over the world. Wow!
Now you still can but it's not nearly so novel and instead one could argue that facebook, et al, are systems that are more often agents of strengthening ties between small groups of like thinking people, and diminishing ties between those who think differently. (Just delete the jerks from your friend list!) Perhaps it's just plain easier to be divided today, and yet still be part of a group that happily reinforces biases among themselves. That's not the direction I hoped things would go.
I don't know that people are any stupider than they ever were. They're probably busier and and are definitely reliant on the convenience of sound bites and talking head summaries and click bait headlines for a lot of their info. Plus all the recirculated conspiracies on email and facebook etc. Who has the time to sort out facts from all the fiction? Just go with what you think sounds good.

I think you are right, Wisko.
Though the thought of all those long-armed, slope-headed Badger fans talking just to each other might be comforting for the rest of us.

Trump campaign reports that at the next debate they'll supply their own microphone and it'll be a really, really great microphone and people are already saying it'll be a great microphone. When asked if it'll have a "spit stopper" they replied yes, and that it'll be yuuuge.
Clinton campaign reports already claim that Trump has called the microphone fat and claim he wants to send it back because it's foreign and didn't come with documentation. Clinton campaign officials had nothing else to offer.

And I didn't read the whole link, but the quoted part said "in the debate hall", not "over the television broadcast"

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XIX: Escape from the Planet of Debates
Yep. Thought that has me thinking, would they have separate mics for the debate hall and TV? If not, wouldn't the issue be more with the speakers in the debate hall than the mic?

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XIX: Escape from the Planet of Debates
The thing is, Trump has to be right. About everything.
So if he called Miss Universe a fat pig, for whatever his reasons were, he was right to do so, and if anyone doesn't see that, then he's just gonna keep arguing and attacking until people see that he was right all along. Problem for him is, people aren't playing along, so he has to keep on going, more attacks and arguments so people will see it his way. And he just keeps digging himself a bigger hole.
Of course, his supporters are loving it, nodding their heads in agreement, and going, "Go get 'em Donald!!"

Hey You Know The Sex Tape Drumpf Says Machado Made...Yeah About That...
"However, the woman seen in that video is not Alicia Machado — the clip was taken from the 2004 DVD Apprentass 4, which features porn actress Angel Dark, and was later retitled to suggest it showed Alicia Machado."
Congrats Drumpf defenders...your guy basically got Rick Rolled in front of the entire country
