Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Proper soundcheck + mic 2 and I've never had more than 15 seconds of dead time in past 10 years.
But you know, you, you get paid.
As a 20+ year audio professional, the only way this happens is an engineer that either doesn’t know what they’re doing at all (so not a pro) or they aren’t getting paid enough and are very vindictive.
Literally thousands of open mic nights across the country run by teenagers getting paid nothing do a better job of preparing than this.
I applaud whoever fucked this up cause honestly, fuck that guy.
Why waste money on a pro when the deputy campaign manager’s cousin, who is very big in the audio, can do it for campaign merch and free soda?
I mean, I know that’s tongue in cheek, but the results is the reason why.
Yeah, there's no way he was getting merch or free soda.
I'm a broadcast engineer, specifically an A1. There is absolutely 0 chance there wasn't a spare working mic. The only way the whole system fails if some moron over loaded and tripped the amps.
As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don't need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.
Looks like they had a second mic, but it didn't work either
My money is on someone pulling the plug mid speech
