At tonight’s debate, Donald Trump faced off not just against Hillary Clinton, but against moderator Lester Holt.
The game of two-on-one saw Holt ask no questions about:
•Hillary’s emails
•Benghazi
•The Clinton Foundation
While ignoring these issues, Holt grilled Trump on stop-and-frisk, the birther issue, his comments about women, his many bankruptcies, why he hasn’t released his tax returns, and a host of other issues the media sees as unfriendly to the Republican candidate.

do we have ANY friendly moderators that wont aask “hillary why are you so great and trump is a monster”
trump didn’t say that secret tests are allowed in iran under the treaty!!!!
he said where they are involved but people can’t connect pieces.
he took the high road
i’m ###ing SICK OF THE HIGH ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holt was awful. He could not have been more overtly biased. He was a complete disgrace.
Trump knew he was in a hostile environment. He was passionate, not amused, and at times forceful in his rebuttal. Trump remained a gentleman. Hillary was demeaning, imperious and vicious. She clearly was over prepared with lots of sound bites and digs at “Donald.”
Eh, it could have been worse. Holt asked about the tax returns and the birther issue. Hillary brought up the rest and Trump actually brought up stop and frisk.
Of course she got the questions ahead of time, and what was she reading on the podium all the time...
If Trump wins with the MSM against him, it will be a miracle.
It started right at the beginning. Holt introduced the candidates, they shook each other’s hand, then they went over to shake Holt’s hand.
He spoke to them in a very low tone, probably thinking no one could hear him. But I picked it up. He said, “Mrs. Clinton, good luck. Mr. Trump, good to see you.”
From the very beginning, his bias was showing.
Holt is just another Clintoon-supporting liberal.
The ONLY time Holt SORTA went after Hillary was that microsecond he steered the conversation back onto her EMAILS:
It lasted, what?
Like 10 seconds or less.
The rest of the time, yeah, it was like it was TeamHillaryHolt against Trump.
So why didn’t Trump CALL HIM ON IT? Make the lib moderator the issue!
This is going to galvanize Trump support more. Americans have an innate sense of fairness and they know the fix is in.
I want Milo or O’Keefe moderating next time.
Let’s see how Hillary likes that.
RNC should NEVER allow him NEAR a debate podium again. In fact, given the state of the media, RNC should SKIP Presidential Debates. Nothing but trouble-making from Dem-loving liberal "journalists".
Where was Lester?
Would that be wonderful or what - - those two would be great. Throw in Ann Coulter and we'd have a threesome moderating a debate that would be historic... a debate asking questions we care about..
I certainly hope so.
I also hope that Trump counterattacks in future debates. He should point out exactly what the moderator is doing. He does best when he is playing offense, not defense. I think the dems and the moderator know that and they try to keep him on defense.
Lester Holt was obviously in the tank for Hillary. He inserted HIMSELF in the debate and THAT is NOT HIS JOB! He is a moderator and NOT a debater. His questions were designed as Trump gotcha’s.
I think we all knew that would happen.
Just to be fair, he has to be tougher on his cousin Donald. ;-)
