Networks announcing they will begin debate coverage at 8AM. that's a full 12 hours before debated even occurs. Ought to be some spectacular journalism, eh?? I remember Huntley/Brinkley......true tv reporting.

(64,660 posts)"debate" will be secondary to the Trump reality blitz.
It will be getting the hype of Gorgeous George coming to town.
Even a second story line that will beat the actual debate will be how the moderator will handle the sensitive Trump. Will Holt actually enforce rules or will he cower to the bully?
Little focus on whether Hillary will make a good showing. Who cares? Many will be turning in for the reality TV aspects.
I so hope Clinton just obliterates him and turns him into a quivering mass of jello.

Their payday will have to come before and after the debate.
Yes, 'jonesing' and hype is expected - this is why they promoted Trump as a credible candidate for a year and a half!
What Trump has never learned? Don't bite the hand that feeds you. The M$M bites back!
