Panties in a wad! Blaming those rubes who don’t read the propaganda from the NYT and WaPo, for not knowing anything?

I have never read a more perfect example of sneering pseudo-intellectual New York elitism in my life.

-- Libs are on full meltdown this morning because Hillary got a few hard questions --

There is also an odd fixation on whther or not Trump was agains the Iraq war before it commenced. They push this from two angles, first that he wasn't against it until later, and second, that he is lying about this, so can't be trusted.

I don't see much traction on either argument. So what if he was for it, or ambivalent, until 2004? And so what if he is "puffing up" his anti-Iraq-war creds?

If those two called it a draw, Trump won.

-- Lauer did go after Hillary on her emails and he didn't do it in such a way to provide cover for her ... --

That was planned, Hillary knew it was coming. The issue has been dogging her campaign, and the only way the press can "burn it out" is to fan the flames.

From the NY Fag website: Trump Stands by Victim-Blaming Tweet on Military Sexual Assault

Yep, it was a hit by Ratt Lauer, all right.

Come to think of it, he LOOKS like a ratt, too...

I would think that the average undecided got sick of folks like Lauer years ago. If they hadn’t, they’d be behind Hillary already.

Granted, it is subjective and venomous toward Trump, but it includes a damning admission that Trump probably won, which is why I posted it. When an enemy holds his nose and admits our man won, our man definitely won.

Lauer did go after Hillary on her emails and he didn’t do it in such a way to provide cover for her - but - he didn’t really give Trump anything of real substance, either. That being said, Trump did much better than Hillary and he, unlike Hillary, wasn’t wearing an earpiece.


And not lecturing the questioner/audience during those parts.

Pinwheels-for-eyes.

I guess someone's going to have to grab cHait and beat his face in with the transcript of Colin Powell disavowing her lie about him.

It doesn’t matter what this “journalist” thinks. I had a whole different take. Putin is popular, 82% approval rating? The things he picked out as problems for Trump were assets for me. And I’m a voter, not a “journalist.”

I thought Lauer did a great job.

He makes $14,000 an hour. He'd BETTER have done something for that kind of cash...

The Libs of the MSM (Am I being redundant here?) are sometimes quite comical even though I'm certain they don't actually realize it. Take for instance the closing paragraph of the article that I post here for our amusement:

"The average undecided voter is getting snippets of news from television personalities like Lauer, who are failing to convey the fact that the election pits a normal politician with normal political failings against an ignorant, bigoted, pathologically dishonest authoritarian."

Now if the description: "ignorant, bigoted, pathologically dishonest authoritarian" doesn't fit Hillary Clinton like a glove then I don't understand English. But, of course, the author assigned those words to the wrong candidate.

Maybe so but she couldn't deliver without being bitter and angry....she did more damage to herself.

Trump fan here. I didn’t think this way his best performance. He rambled at times, botched the I’m smarter than the Generals issue, talked about polls when there was no need to, and let Lauer bash him on his love for Putin. He was much better in the speech the morning before this.

“I also tend to focus on elite print news sources.”

Therein lies part of the problem, and this characterization is indicative of how superior people like this view themselves.

Chuck should now begin to believe in miracles. To be shocked so many times, turn and walk away without succumbing to death is indeed his blessing.

To paraphrase Jaws: Chuck is gonna need a bigger string of pearls...
