Trump himself tried to dismiss Holt as a "Democrat" before the debate, playing off the typical "Librul Media" lie that the right wing always drags out. Holt is actually a registered Republican, though his reputation as a news anchor is to play it straight down the middle.
Considering it's the party hacks who control this so-called "commission" on debates, no doubt they were looking for the blandest host available.Eat Us And Smile

Rudy 9u11ani says Drumpf should "skip" remaining debates
Giuliani: I'd skip next debates if I were Trump

Donald Trump should skip the next two debates unless he gets special guarantees from the moderators, former New York mayor and top Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani told reporters after the debate.
Lester Holt, the NBC News anchor who moderated the debate, should be “ashamed of himself,” Giuliani said after the debate. He said Holt was wrong to attempt to fact-check Trump on the constitutionality of stop-and-frisk and his claimed opposition to the Iraq War.
“If I were Donald Trump I wouldn’t participate in another debate unless I was promised that the journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker,” Giuliani said. “The moderator would have to promise that there would be a moderator and not a fact checker and in two particular cases an enormously ignorant, completely misinformed fact checker.”
“If you wonder why Donald Trump thinks that the press is a left-wing basically oriented group, Lester Holt proved it tonight," he added.
He later clarified about future debates: “I didn’t say what I’m advising him, I said what I would do.”
Trump himself had no problem with Holt's performance. The moderator did a "fine" job, Trump said.
But Giuliani was especially piqued by Holt’s claim that “stop and frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York.”
“No, you're wrong. It went before a judge who was a very-against-police judge,” Trump responded. “It was taken away from her and our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. They would have won an appeal.”
“Stop and frisk is completely constitutional and the American people have been given the false impression that it isn’t,” Giuliani said.
A federal district court judge ruled in 2013 that New York City’s stop-and-frisk policy violated the Constitution. Mayor Bill de Blasio, who ran on a platform opposing stop-and-frisk, ended the policy soon after taking office.Eat Us And Smile

I've only watched maybe half of the debate but my advice to Trump at this point is prepare to get your ass handed to you on election day. There's no coming back from a piss poor performance like that.Beware of DogComment

It's the money thing.
I think it may have been posted before that before his comedy roast the organizers asked if there was anything that he wanted as being out of bounds for the comedians to hit him with. Most people might say my kids, my infidelities, if you had an ex wife who had made a rape accusation maybe that. The only thing he ruled out was that no one was allowed to imply he wasn't as rich as he says he is.
He was keeping it kind of together until Clinton started mentioning his money and that's when he fell to bits. She should start a thing on that at the next debate no matter the question. I'm still amazed he went with saying he didn't pay any tax 'Because he is smart'.Comment

It's all ancient history now, this is stuff from over a quarter of a century ago. Why Trump would base his whole law and order answers on an old policy from 1980s NYC reeks of Guiliani advising it to re-fight his old losses.Comment

The concept of a wasted vote doesn't really work the more you think about it. Your single vote isn't going to change the outcome. If you think it has any influence at all it probably has more voting for minor candidates because the bigger parties will modify their platforms to try and get as many of the crucial independant/swing voters.Comment
