BRACK: Bulk of Americans can see through Trump debate lies

By Elliott Brack  |  Watching presidential debates is not high on my agenda. Most years, these debates do little for real news, and serve mostly as arguments between  the vying candidates.  But for 2024, I sat for nearly two hours and listened to Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
