That’s exactly what it is. The guy is a contributor with his own take on the debate.
Wallace was not fair. However, I do think he was the best moderator this year.
But, yeah, a low point was when Hillary droned on for well over 2 minutes, and Trump demanded time to respond and Wallace graciously allowed Trump to speak about two sentences before Wallace forced a new topic into the discussion. Totally blatant.
And he was the best they had this year.
if they had spent any time covering his rally's listening to what he said instead of trying to play gotcha... they'd know he typically spends 20+ minutes talking about the economy and how to fix it
maybe the wapo is starting to come to grips with the future.
It’s an Ed Rollins commentary, not a WaPo story. Nothing like this would come out of WaPo itself
The Washington Post is getting worried now. They know they’ve got a lemon candidate that no one likes on their hands, and that they’ve probably backed the wrong horse. Trump might very well win. Bad news for the Compost, and could be bad news for its owner Jeff Bezos and his corporate baby, Amazon. Trump has a long memory and is not adverse to revenge, a dish best served cold.
I like the concept of revenge, myself. It’s biblical. Hence the shift in their attitude. WaPo will now start straddling the fence, just in case Hitlery takes a big dive and bites the political dust. Instead of being in the White House, she could very well be taking up residence in the Big House. Lovely thought, that.
Get a look at Hillary’s expression when Trump mentions people accused of homosexuality being thrown off roofs. She looks psychotic :

That a woman who has been politically active, all her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bain of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government woujld rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she tottally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most-- pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, last night.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but pro-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers, in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

**she lacks authenticity and appears to be a typical politician who is therefore dishonest. **
So true.
You nailed it.
One thing about D.C. Beltway culture is that it possesses ZERO value for LOYALTY.
Basically you have to become a Yes Man to whomever is power in order to maintain your position and your status.
They had no fear of crossing Bush because he didn’t fight back. They know that Trump is making a list, and he’ll be checking it twice.
Four years is a long time to be frozen out of the loop.
epic memorizer bunny LOL
Thank you!
“WaPo accepting defeat.”
Oh, no they’re not. Look at the headlines of the “post recommends” articles under it.
UNABLE TO CONTROL HIMSELF, TRUMP CONFIRMS EVERYONE’S WORST FEARS
IN THE THIRD DEBATE, DONALD TRUMP ERUPTS
TED CRUZ WAS RIGHT: TRUMP WAS NO MATCH FOR CLINTON AT THE DEBATES
—
Gee, no bias THERE.
To save credibility the MSM has to start distance themselves from Shitlery in order to not look like fools for not predicting the upcoming Trump landslide victory. After all WaPo has to pretend to be a legitimate news organization.
“...almost consciously avoiding things voters care about. It’s a wonder he hasn’t talked about the economy during more of the campaign.”
Trump HAS been talking almost exclusively about “things voters care about” and the “economy”. These things include illegal immigration, foreign entanglements, trade, and jobs.
Makes me wonder just where this author has been living for the last year. Let me guess, in the Washington Post bubble with all the other bubble heads.
“her collapsing under the weight of WikiLeaks”
Her comment on the plane to reporters, “No more naps”, means she knows she’s in trouble. Not from today’s polling, but what the near future portends.
Rogers is the chairman of BGR Group, a top lobbying firm that has received more than $700,000 from the energy industry in 2015. Rogers has personally lobbied this year for Southern Company, one of the largest electric utility companies in the U.S. -- and one of the biggest opponents of the most significant U.S. policy to combat climate change.
Trump went 3 for 3 as far as I am concerned.
