It's wild they didn't just record the debate in the morning. There was no audience, no one would have known.
I mean, the Trump campaign would need to agree with that and agree to keep it a secret along with them.
Trump would have negotiated to have it live; there's no reason he'd want the networks to have time to fact check for the broadcast.
Right but that would have been easier to explain away than 90 minutes of being the sleepiest man alive.
