I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?

Who’s surprised he’s trying to chicken out?

    Here’s my proposal.

    During each candidate’s first turn to speak, no fact checks are shown, but the fact checkers will use the other candidate’s turn to come up with corrections. Then when it’s the first candidate’s turn again, the start of that their speaking time is used to read the corrections from their previous statement. If the corrections take the whole speaking slot, too bad so sad.

      That’s probably the only way to do a good job of it. Fact checking takes time.

      You can’t expect it to happen with any level of accuracy if you’re demanding it be done before the debater stops talking.

      If corrections also rollover into the next speaking window, Donald could just do his first slot and then go golfing.
