One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has said he would pull out of the next debate if he were running for president.
"If I were Donald Trump I wouldn't participate in another debate unless I was promised that a journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker," Rudy Giuliani said after Monday's debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
While Giuliani lashed out at NBC News' Lester Holt, who moderated the event, Trump said he "felt [Holt] was fine."
Giuliani added: "I did not say what I'm advising, I'm saying what I would do. Whatever advice I give to Donald Trump, I'll give to Donald Trump."
NBC News' Hallie Jackson reported that Trump had told her he was committed to taking part in the second of three planned debates — which is scheduled for Oct. 9.

“Rather than Rush, you might want to suggest Hannity.”
I was just thinking of exactly that. Let Hannity be the moderator for the next debate. It would only be fair, since a Hillary-promoter was the moderator in the first debate.
“That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. The very thought of losing is hateful to Americans. Battle is the most significant competition in which a man can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base.”
The answer is there were no actual speeches; just payoffs for favors which were labeled as "speeches" because "speeches" sounds a lot better than "bribe" or "payoff".
Even that’s no good because either he plays fair, which still leaves at a disadvantage in the other debates, or he leans toward us and the other side gets their feathers ruffled and calls fowl. Get rid of the system entirely. Head to head debates.
“That woman set our intelligence community back 40 years with our classified information compromised on her illegal private and NONSECURE server! How did Trump NOT bring that up?”
He DID bring it up. He also asked her why so many of her employees and aides have taken the 5th while under questioning about it.
“Madam Secretary, do you not think that not running classified documents through a private server in your bathroom should be the very first step in your plan for cyber security?
“Hillobeans fired all of her bullets last night. Trump fired about 3 out of 500 bullets. Like Mr . T said in Rocky III, “You want some mo’? I got lotsa mo’!”
I agree with that. Hillary is just about out of ammo. Trump has many rounds left in his bag.
“Madam Secretary, do you not think that not running classified documents through a private server in your bathroom should be the very first step in your plan for cyber security?"
Trump has two more opportunities to lob that grenade. I think he will. If not in the debates, he'll pound that point home in his campaign commercials, which are due to begin airing soon.
Mark Levin on the Conservative side.
Doesn’t matter who on the Lib side.

Clinton may have received questions before debate!
Trump missed some opportunities to strike easy blows against Hillary and seemed flustered all too often, but it still would have helped not to have had a moderator who was so blatantly on Hillary's side throughout the debate.
Rudy is my personal hero. He makes me so proud.
Right hand man to a president!!!!
He is one of a few people Trump can trust 100 percent.
Go get em paesan :)
To have a wing man attacker that is also hugely bright is a YUGE asset.
He will go on all the shows this weekend and wreak destruction on the talk shows.
Trump will win. He’s real, he’s kind, he’s smart, he’s exceptional.
Wish he would have asked how many jobs hillary created without other people’s money.
“The questions need to be questions one would ask any candidate.”
I think the questions should be identical AND the candidates should be in separate, sound proof rooms If they have three minutes then at the end of three minutes the microphone is cut off. No talking over each other, and just as importantly neither candidate can hear the others answers
Thought myself that TRUMP would be the one candidate unafraid to flex his muscle and end this lucrative “ambush” business, by network moderators, whom the RNC unfailingly entertain, cycle after cycle.
TRUMP should not get used to this abuse of always being used as a pin cushion. It looks bad and naieve and unseemly for a man running on both strength and *change* to subject himself to the degradation.
Dang it. STOP.
Levin? Are you nuts? He would make Lester look like a right winger. He hates Trump more than the commies.
Laura Ingraham would be a good moderator, which they UniParty Globalists in charge would never allow, of course.
TRUMP should say this in his opening statement at the next debate:
“To all of you Americans watching tonight. As you watch this debate, take note of the following: I am not here to debate BOTH the moderator AND my opponent — as was the case last time when the moderator stepped in with false corrections to what I said and argued several points with me. That’s called being tag-teamed.
That is inappropriate behavior for a moderator in a presidential debate. Candy Crowley did that to Mitt Romney in the 2012 debate with Barack Obama and he was too weak to fight her on it. Unlike Mitt Romney, I will call the moderator out on inappropriate behavior immediately. To those of you in the audience, if you notice the moderator starts debating against me, please take note and verbalize this phrase “MODERATOR FOUL!” — because if the moderator is not following the rules, why should you in the audience follow the rules of not clapping or booing?
Those of you watching tonight, I’d like you to:
1. Notice how many softball questions they give my opponent compared to how many personal attack questions they direct to me. That’s because the mainstream media is in pockets of the Democratic Party, in case you hadn’t noticed. This is called “media bias.”
2. Notice how when I make a good point, the moderator tries to shift attention away from the point that was made or interrupts me, but doesn’t do the same for my opponent.
3. Notice how calculated Hillary is when she has that fake smile plastered on her face while citing far-fetched allegations about me. I’m a real person. My opponent is a phony and a fraud. Just look at all the scandals that have swirled around Hillary and her husband for the past 30 year. It’ll make your head spin. That someone with a sordid history of dishonesty tries to pin fraudulent behavior or racism on someone like me is astonishing and embarrassing to this process.
4. When politicians don’t have a valid argument against their opponent on principles, they resort to ad-hominem attacks. I may attack her record (deleting 33,000 emails and being against protecting our borders), but I do not do ad-hom attacks, although there are so many I could do. For example, she cited likely false allegations from a mere handful of my past employees many years ago. Well, I could equally cite what her personal secret service agents have said about her. Or many other petty “hear-say stories” in her past. But that’s petty.
Those of you watching are smart enough to see the phony person that is here on the stage with me.
Let’s stick to the issues tonight.
Thank you, Donald Trump.
But it would be a mistake to back out. Make him look like he can’t handle her. He’s got to do a debate and beat her, despite the hack “moderator”. He’ll be taking on ISIS, and doing deals with Iran and Russia. Losing at tiddly winks to a five year old is not acceptable for him.
i dont know who ws advisin g trump ,but he had so much bad info on her that he could of wiped her out last nite...he should of mentioned bill and the woman thing ..the money thing saudia arabia clinton foundation , hatii etc...
Good format, but...Why do it on Fox News?
Should be done on OANN and CSPAN should broadcast it also.
FNN is NOT a conservative news station
Why give them the hits?
Great idea
