We know Trump is going to lie (a lot!) at the upcoming debates.

So what should our moderators do about it?

Here are my thoughts, with a look back at the messy fact-checking attempt in the 2012 Obama/Romney debate.

When an OAN sycophant asked Trump if “journalists are afraid they might lose their jobs if they don’t attack you," he admitted how he deals with hard questions:

“I’ll say, ‘Thank you very much. Bye-bye.’ And I leave.”

That will change with the debates.

So Fox's Chris Wallace has chosen as one of the debate topics, "Race and Violence in our Cities."

Not "Race and Protests" and not "in our Country"

So we can see where this is headed.

Here, @farhip and @ElaheIzadi address Wallace’s framing of the debate topic
