welcome to the beat weekend, let s get right into the headlines. this is a debate that certainly is memorable. but not in a very happy way. it seems to be another in a series of shared american experiences and memories that feel more infamous than famous, more traumatic than cathartic. and so tonight, together with you right now, as we are still within these first 24 hours of that face-off, we re going to take stock with the evidence, trying to look at the significance and the fallout and the actual real possibilities. we are not going to devolve into, or take too much time with the fantasy screenplay scenarios, because while there is talk of rain play style solutions, what matters more, for what this is about what we are going to do, is what is possible. indeed, the screenplay talk, the fantasy talk me tell you about the reactions of the dark of the democratic party, it may matter in that sense but not of the screenplay coming true. what if it is true, in what we ve seen i
