WTF Overview

Start your day with TPM.

So a little overview of how we’re going to approach this very weird debate night. By schedule the Donald Trump counter-event is supposed to start at 8 PM. And that will be preceded by an “exclusive” interview with CNN – probably a chit for their being the first network to announce they’d cover his speech live. The Fox debate gets underway at 9 PM. But of course, it’s already 8:15 PM. And the ‘exclusive’ interview hasn’t even started yet. So there’s little doubt that Trump plans to let his extravaganza roll right into and maybe right through the gutted Fox debate. We will be covering both events, simultaneously, whenever they happen.
