Here's How Many Times the Moderators Interrupted Trump vs. Clinton

Donald Trump repeatedly went after Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz for cutting him off during Sunday night’s debate. He also claimed that they were not interrupting Hillary Clinton as frequently as they were him.

Now that the RNC has tallied the total number of moderator interruptions it looks like Trump was right.

Moderator Interruptions

Of Clinton: 12

Of Trump: 26

I liked when Trump called out that Clinton was going way over the alloted time and they were not stopping her, but stopped him at the first second over...

26? Is that all? It seemed like many more.

I posted this about half-way (9:17 pm CT) through the debate last evening:

What it shows is that Trump is no better at taking on the media than any of the other recent GOP candidates have been.

Now that's a ridiculous statement.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

The “moderators” rather making a big scene against TRUMP may really be all theater.

They actively seek for debate encounters with TRUMP, that will have potential to make him seem “out of control” at worst, or “thin skinned” at best.

I disagree. I don’t think it shows nearly as much about Trump as it shows about the media.

That may be true but the fact remains that recent GOP candidates have tire tread marks from the media. GW and GHW were able to handle the media better. Both of them took down Rather. And of course Reagan was the master of the media.

A step, or two, beyond interruption. Martha Radish participated in the debate. She openly argued with Trump.

She simply could not help herself.

He's pretty good at eliminating Canadian globalists, however.

Those twelve came after Trump complained too.

Up until then it was about zero interruptions for her.

toward the end the interrupted, but she just kept on going and they let her skate on it.

That’s one more way she lost the debate. She signaled that she was desperate to keep talking because she thought she was losing.

She is a DIM political shill...and a shrill wretch.

It is, and several months ago there was a fairly candid interview with him posted on FR. It featured some considerable discussion of his relationship with his mother.

Majorly screwed up ... the part that stuck in my head was that she told him all (yes, A L L) about her sexual exploits with various men. Ewww.

It's no wonder he's a mess.

More importantly, this is the first time I can recall where a moderator got into an argument with one of the candidates, when Raddatz argued with Trump. Even Candy Crowley didn’t do that, although she did try to come to the aid of Obama.
