    We cannot have a fair debate without dedicated fact-checkers that pause the candidates and refute the lies from Trump (sure, and Biden if he does). Anything less is just letting him continue his strategy of spewing falsehoods faster than they can be corrected.

      Trump will just dismiss the fact-checkers as biased and continue.

          In saner times we didn’t need a law that prohibits a felon from becoming president or need a cut-off switch because psychopaths weren’t even in presidential debates.
