Debate Details Revealed: Clinton Gets First Question
NBC News ^ | 9/25/2016 | CHELSEA BAILEY

Posted on 09/25/2016 12:21:24 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Debate officials have released the details of Monday night's presidential debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

The first debate of the election season will be moderated by NBC News' Lester Holt at Hofstra University in Hempstead New York.

The 90-minute debate will be broken into six, 15 minute "pods," the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Sunday.

Clinton will receive the first question. She will have two minutes to answer and Trump will have two minutes to respond.

That will be followed by 10 minutes of open conversation and debate.

Some of the rules were made by agreement between the campaigns and some were decided by coin toss — but CPD wouldn't say which ones.

The debate will be held before an audience of 1,000 viewers in the hall. The three largest ticket blocks are going to the two campaigns and Hofstra. The university said they are giving all of their tickets to students, which they say they also did in 2008 and 2012.

Yeah, and they probably gave her the questions in advance.

Does this mean Trump gets the last closing statement?

“Hillary, why do you think Americans love you so much?”

“Donald, why do you think Americans hate you so much?”

“Why does Trump love Russia and Putin and want to see us all die in a bloody nuclear inferno with no regard for anyone but his egotistical, narcissistic, arrogant, ignorant, naive self?”

That’s it. She has the questions, is well prepared and will come out of the gate like gangbusters with a well prepared answer.

So open conversation is a back and forth without the moderator interfering ?

Of course she has the questions. I will be surprised if not. They will make sure Trump looks bad.

I bet they also gave her what they believe to be the best answer to her questions, too.

“followed by 10 minutes of ...” campaign bullet points from the three campaigns.
Lester and Hillary can only do so much though. Even with the vocal support from the Hillary-loving Hofstra students.

Trump should wear a flashing tie and just stand there quietly and wait.

Corrupt Hillary is a lying, sick old crook who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything in that sentence is well documented. She lies even when the truth would serve her better. Everything she says or does must be treated with the utmost suspicion.

This is good. Trump gets first come back. Then 10 minutes of open back and forth which Trump is good at. He’s been practicing with Laura Ingraham.

I guarantee you either Hillary has an insider prepping her with specific questions prepared for the debate, AND/OR 0dunga has his NSA monitoring all phone calls, emails, etc., among network staff regarding every detail of their plans which will be forwarded to Team Hillary in advance.

Hillary will appear polished and prepared because she will ALREADY know each and every question in advance and possibly even how Trump will respond.

I hope Team Trump is doing most of their pre-debate discussions IN PERSON and not via email or on the phone. Even 'in person' isn't a sure bet to keep things secret if there is a 'BUG' OR A MOLE on the inside.

Okay, I have some general questions here: Who are the members of the "Commission on Presidential Debates?" How are they appointed to this "commission?" By who?

Of course she got the questions, she got them WEEKS AGO..you dont think the Commie media who are ALL in the tank for her would allow her to speak in public in front of a 100 million people without giving her the questions in advance so she can study them
