Clinton camp says it’s ‘unfair’ to expect Hillary to police Trump rhetoric at debate

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is pressuring Monday night’s moderator to take a more active role in the presidential debate, saying it’s “unfair” to expect the Democratic presidential nominee to dispute the veracity of Donald Trump’s claims.

“It’s unfair to ask for Hillary both to play traffic cop with Trump, make sure that his lies are corrected, and also to present her vision for what she wants to do for the American people,” Robby Mook said on ABC’s “This Week.”

When pressed by host George Stephanopoulos that that’s “what a debater is supposed to do,” Mr. Mook said this case is “special.”

What! Too difficult for the “smartest woman in the world”?

This must mean they made a rule for no earpiece.

It’s unfair to ask Hillary to deal with any kind of ‘truth’ as it is very painful to her . . . like water on Esmeralda (or whatever the wicked witch’s name was - Elzpah?)

Mook is correct, Hillary's circumstances are unique.

First , Clinton is looking at going to jail for the rest of her life if anyone gets serious about investigating Hillary and the Clinton Foundation

Second, most of “lies” Hillary will need to correct are in reality factually correct statements that Hillary will have to refute by telling a lie. If Hillary says the wrong thing while trying to refute a Trump accusation, she may end up incriminating herself and ending up in jail

It's bad enough that pretty much all of her inner circle have either cut immunity deals or taken the 5th to not incriminate themselves, but It really looks bad for a Presidential Candidate to take the 5th on a nationally televised Presidential debate

Third, she has told so many lies and offered so many different proven false versions of her cover up stories it will be difficult for her to address any of her many scandals without contradicting her earlier lies with new, updated lies that try to explain away both her earlier lies and new evidence that contradicts all of her previous trail of evolving false narratives that have been continuously exposed as lies as succeeding waves of contradictory evidence is discovered, leaked or pried out of the hands of the Dept of State, DOJ, FBI and other agencies trying to obstruct and delay

To try to ask a sick woman to be able to keep all of her lies straight and still think on her feet (without a chair to sit on) on stage with millions watching is totally unrealistic, sexist and unfair

I don't know why, but Nellie and Harriett popped into my brain with that statement.

The biggest liar ever in politics accusing someone else of being a liar. Classic Clinton projection.

Answer: Hillary SUPPORTS all the Middle East mullahs, potentates, and terrorist leaders—no problem with them for her. (Lots of problems for us.)

The Chinese will get away with all their shenanigans, as they do now.

But Putin will mop up the floor with her, and wring her out to dry!!!!

Hillary wants to turn the debate into a CIRCUS, with Mark Cuban trolling, and a WORTHLESS journo serving as a “fact-checking” moderator (with no facts)!!

Trump should DESTROY both the weak, lying Hillary and the stupid journo, and emerge victorious tomorrow evening!!!

What a good observation. If her assignment is to stay healthy looking for 90 minute under hot lights and inhuman pressure, then her letting the moderator spar with Trump (so he isn’t ‘Lauer’d’ next day) is an excellent strategy.

Apparently, illary cannot handle the Donald one on one and must have the moderator make it two on one in order to make it “fair.”

Good point. HILLARY was both a Senator and a Secretary of
State, as well as a VERY involved First Lady for 8 years.

TRUMP was just a reality show star and very accomplished in
the business world. Inexperienced in all the “stuff” that
HILLARY “rocks”.

Oh! . . and on a very critical note, HILLARY is the “SPLIT
TAIL”. :o)

Trump should inform the debate moderators that any “False” corrections will get the sued.

I am afraid that these moderators are going to make Candy Crowley look like a pussy cat.

The corrupt old media monopoly is caving under the pressure of truth.
