    To his base, no. His base is lost for the world bar some extremely large scale cult-deprogramming. But for independents and undecideds it would still matter to not let the lies linger in the air. Not that it will ever happen, of course.

        You replied to my comment, though? That’s why I clarified.

        EDIT: I concede I might have worded it poorly. What I meant was: his base isn’t going to change his mind regardless and few undecideds/independents will read this. But live fact-checking and calling Trump out properly could affect the latter group.

        They His base don’t care that he’s lying. Doing it in real time would make absolutely no difference

        Would’ve been clearer if you specified your comment.

        I agree his base is a lost cause, but live fact checking would absolutely make a difference to the uneducated brain rotted masses that are just going with the flow.

        Calling him out as a lair to his face live on the air might even make him snap. Sadly no one has the balls to do it.
