A close analysis of the transcript of the first presidential debate on Monday night shows that moderator Lester Holt of NBC News asked 15 questions exclusively of Republican nominee Donald Trump, and only 2 questions exclusively of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The analysis, posted on social media and drawing intense attention on Reddit, walks through the entire 90-minute exchange and notes Holt asked six questions of both candidates, in addition to Trump’s 15 and Clinton’s two.

And “Supposedly” Fact Checked him over and over again.

Couple times I thought he was attempting an argument.

Personally, I don’t think he wanted to undermine Trump but, was told to do his job, the terms of which, were dictated by his bosses.

Interesting. Does anyone have a measure of the amount of time each was allowed to talk? I would bet that Hillary got at least 60%.

Holt knew the more she talks, the less she’s liked. Trump’s victory will also be a victory over a lawless and hopelessly corrupt media.

Each time I see the Clinton stylized “H” how much more its nothing about togetherness, but cronies of the wacky left.

Some choice words from scripture (Jesus speaking) about corrupt politicians and their corrupt media sidekicks. I don't think He's changed his mind since then...

Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness...Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them. Luke 11:39,44.

This will pay off for Trump, because now, his two main controversies, Birtherism, and his Tax Returns, are now off the table. They will not be brought up again in future debates. Hillary on the other hand, still needs to deal with the email server, Benghazi, and the Clinton Foundation.

I believe they were hoping to end/swing the election at the first debate - it backfired on them! Now Trump is sitting pretty going into the future debates, and Hillary has a lot of explaining to do!

My feedback will be simple:

1. Fire “Candy” Holt.

2. Never run a debate again.

Are they including the lead off set up about “the most successful economic recovery ever”? Candy Crowley was less partisan in 2012.

I’m starting to think that the blatant desire of the media to elect Clinton is now a Trump asset.

Trump didn’t appear to perform well, yet polls show he won the debate and he suffered no major damage, while Clinton somehow hurt herself with an apparently strong performance.

The only good explanation I have for this is that the status quo, as represented by Clinton and Holt, is so revolting that the mere witness of their methods in action is enough to drive voters into the arms of Trump.

I watched the debate. The only thing I clearly remember this morning?

30 years of abject failure !

Next debate, for sure.
