I like the idea of behind-the-scenes fact check team, names published, and chosen from a number of different sources, fact checking the candidates and making a rather obvious display of it. Maybe not the 'X' on the podium, but a big screen behind or in front of them that they can add quotes to and display whether they were true or false, right there on the stage.

Definitely would be interesting. Candidates would DEFINITELY have to watch what they say.

Part of the problem, though, with "fact checking" is that a lot of it seems to be opinion-based. It's one thing to say that "HIllary said..." and she clearly did NOT say that. But then on the other hand, when you say, "Trump's plan would raise the deficit by ..." she may be getting that from a source, but that source could be biased and whatnot.

But, still, I kind of like your idea.
