These "moderators" should be ashamed of themselves. They couldn't be more transparently treating one participant with kid gloves and letting him talk as much as he wants.

It's what I expected, but I am still disappointed.

B+ for fact checking without bias (meaning not attacking both to just appear unbiased).

D for favoring one over the other with extra rebuttal time. Although I think it made Trump look worse.

I wonder if they gave a little because he'd caused so many fact checks they didn't want the uninformed to mistake it all for being one sided

They absolutely only fact checked the wildest claims. The kind of stuff that radicalized people, like baby murder.

To be fair, while Trump is an adult, he never grew up, hence the kids gloves.
