Bloomberg TV will conduct on-screen fact checks of statements made by both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during Monday night’s debate, POLITICO has confirmed.

That looks interesting, but don't think I can get Bloomberg. I wonder if the following will work.

NPR claims to be fact checking on line, but I can't find an exact link - let's check this once it starts...

There's a claim from his colleagues that Lester Hold will not be a "potted plant" so the moderator may do some fact-checking as well...

My wife has decided to join me for this debate so I might not be able to be present in the BookTalk.org chat room. If she wasn't going to watch this I'd be able to sit at my computer but with her watching we have to do the living room TV.

I cannot wait to see the hilarious stuff Trump is going to say. LOL

Yes, but it would be a bit rude to be on a chat while she is staying up to watch the debate with me. She normally goes to bed early.

Trump lost that one. I'm pretty solid in my opinion that voting for Hillary is the best choice. Both candidates are poor choices but Hillary will at least not get us into World War III...probably.
