    Yeah...and I think we all know we are being had.

    BUT...anyone who misses this debate probably should not be allowed to vote. (Kidding!) ANYONE not interested in what is going to happen Monday night...just does not understand what drama is all about.

    This is gonna be better than Game of Thrones.

    Who's facts? The moderator is there to ask the questions and referee the time, not debate the debaters. Y'all would have a coronary if Limbaugh moderated and 'fact checked'.

    No such thing as a fact in politics.

    I kind of agree that moderators should not fact check.

    Why would you want a drug addict to do your fact checking?

    Well, you probably will have a hard time convincing Trump's supporters that 1+1 doesn't equal 3.

    If Trump tells them water is dry and the Sun sets in the East, they will believe him.

    I just think fact checking should be done after the debate. I'm not saying candidates shouldn't be expected to use facts. But I think moderators are likely to confuse facts with opinions, which compromises the integrity of the debate.

    Imagine a Chris Wallace version of "fact checking."

    Your OP is an outright lie, but nothing new about that is there?

    Democrats didn't honor Strom Thurmond. The drugs must be kicking in.

    A moderator's job is to keep the debate focused and timed. Not to become another debater.

    Oh it's so rigged and unfair for trump. When will white men born into wealth with every privilege available to them get a fair shake in this country?

    To make sure that everyone gets a fair shake, maybe a drug addict who is also a KKK member should be located to fact check these debates.

    In this case? In this election? I disagree. Besides, fact-checking truth versus lies isn't debating. It's calling out someone on their bull(*)(*)(*)(*) answers. Much unlike Matt Lauer did.

    Didn't Hillary start this whole thing by charging the debate moderator with the responsibility of fact checking Trump? I mean news media these days already lace their reports with anti-Trump verbiage do we need it in the debates too? Debates should be neutral by definition.

    Do you believe the candidates should be able to tell lies unchecked? Surely calling them on outright lies is part of the moderator's job?

    I would have thought that most Trump supporters would expect the moderator to intervene if Clinton started one of her answers with, "As you know, Lester, I never used a private email server for any state department business whatsoever."

    So you think the moderator should challenge Trump on his statements and support Hillary's positions. You might be the most perfect liberal I've ever come across on here.

    RRIIGGGHHTT, Now we're all supposed to hire our own research departments just to make your boy look good

    Trump is a LIAR and that is the ONLY reason he could possibly have for objecting to this. If he isn't planning on lying through his teeth then he should WELCOME fact checking as vindicating him. LYING DONALD LYING DONALD.

    HOW can any honest political party support this kind of candidate? I think we can stick a fork in the Republican Party after 2016, as it will be DONE
