Report: Lester Holt May Pull a Candy Crowley at First Presidential Debate
breitbart.com ^ | 25 Sep 2016

Posted on 09/25/2016 11:42:17 PM PDT by Helicondelta

CNN’s Brian Stelter says Lester Holt is signaling to his NBC colleagues that he may enter the fray in Monday night’s presidential debate as a participant rather than a moderator — thanks to intense left-wing backlash over Matt Lauer’s performance at the “Commander in Chief Forum” weeks ago.

Of course he will.
And Trump knows it will be two against one.

That is for sure. Trump gives as good as he takes. Also, Trump, unlike Romney, really wants to win this presidential election. Romney has been undermining Trump as publicly as he can which tells me he has been a democrat supporter at least since Obama ran the first time. Thank God we have a good America First candidate this time around.

Holt kind of forgets Trump is VERY used to being on TV. That type of stunt could backfire on Holt.

You'll know if she's wearing an earpiece by whether or not her hair is covering her ears.

Also, I have noticed several times when her ears were covered that she spoke in a halting manner, like she was repeating what she was being told. If this predominates her performance, she will come across as stiff and strange. It may get her through the debate, but it is not attractive or winning.

If he does this, Trump should look at the audience and say, “did you know that Lester is running for president tonight?”; and on the following question, pause and give Lester (Hillary’s media representative) a chance to “give the American people his vital opinion” on Hillary’s response before Trump answers.

I’ll take the bait. I think Lester Holt is a decent man from what I’ve read about him, and I am willing to give him a chance tonight. After watching him on the Westminster Dog shows and occasionally checking in on his news presentation, I wasn’t aware he is black, although once it was mentioned it was obvious. He is just a regular guy. We will see tonight!

I hope and pray that he keeps his temper in check but rebukes Lester with a smile and a prepared witty line! Reagan did it perfectly!! THERE YOU GO AGAIN!! I’ll never forget those words EVER! I still remember how he creamed the peanut boy!!...with a smile and a killer line!!

If Holt tries to "participate" in the debate, Trump should simply say:

Mr. Holt, if you wish to resign as moderator and participate in this debate as a Presidential candidate, I'll wait while they bring out a podium for you.

I think Trump would merely turn the camera and say....”now you know why no one watches network news anymore”, and just shake his head. The show is over at that point and they can fold the circus tent up for Hillary.

If Holt does this (and I wouldn’t be one bit surprised)...maybe Trump could ask him “Should I start calling you Candy now?” then grin an all-knowing grin.

That would be entertainment.

CNN was droning on and on about how it’s the moderator’s duty to fact check the candidates, and then they said (with all seriousness) that Trump has a more tenuous relationship with the truth.

CNN post debate will fact check everything Trump says using biased Politifact and then talk about how Clinton is so much more honest than him.

This debate will be on every channel, cable or otherwise. I’ve never seen anything like it. That’s why they’re ALL expecting 100,0000,000 viewers. You can’t get away from it even if you wanted to.

Hilda serves her own god who can do nothing but destroy. She’s put herself in the wrong hands and her end will not be pretty. The God of Israel, her Creator, is the only One Who can restore her, yet she reviles Him. She has not chosen wisely.

Lester Holt has to decide between his career and his integrity. What to do, what to do?

Lol, that decision is made way back in journalism school. Guess which answer is required to graduate?

.....Yes, it's an ECHO chamber at the Clinton News Network...yet their ratings continue to fall....

Yawn.....

Which begs the old question: "if a person yells in a secluded forest but nobody hears it, did it really happen....."
