I know what many of you are thinking. “Is Kevin going to liveblog the debate tonight? If he doesn’t, will I actually have to watch this dumpster fire?”
No worries. I’m a dedicated professional, and that means I’ll watch the debate so you don’t have to. And unlike certain other professionals I could name, I’ll try to fact check in real time. This is actually harder than you’d think, and Donald Trump’s firehose of lies wrapped in ignorance inside a fog of gibberish doesn’t make it any easier. But I’ll try.
The debate starts at 9 pm Eastern. I’ll start up a few minutes before then.
