"If I were Donald Trump I wouldn't participate in another debate unless I was promised that the journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker," Giuliani told reporters late Monday inside the spin room at Hofstra University.

"The moderator would have to promise that there would be a moderator and not a fact checker and in two particular cases an enormously ignorant, completely misinformed fact checker," Giuliani said.

I agree with you 100%.

The only thing Trump needs to do that is outside of the normal debate preparation is to come to the debate ready to turn the moderator's bias against him/her.

It doesn't have to involve getting in an argument with the moderator. If the moderator makes a point that Trump knows is incorrect, he should simply say: "That is wrong. Please back that up with evidence and cite your source for it. Otherwise, there's no reason to respond to it."

Do that once or twice, and the moderator will be back on his heels for the rest of the debate.

I think that is how the low information voter sees it. The system is against me. The system is against Trump and for Hillary. Trump says he is on my side, and Hillary says same thing. I believe Trump.

The low-information voter doesn’t care about the details that Holt challenged Trump on. Whether Trump opposed the Iraq war, or when, and the other details are not the important parts of this decision to most voters who are just tuning in. The narrative really is what matters, as liberals always say, and Holt helped the narrative.

Um... not wanting another liberal moderator is NOT the same is wanting him to skip two debates.

They said the one part (skipping ) but left out the other part (unless they replace the duhmmie liberal moderator)

They CLEARLY are tryign to advance the theme of not having any more debates, to get hilLIARy out of the last two.

Trump must not let that happen- even if he has to bitch-slap the moderator to get them inline.

In fact, I think that would get him more votes- Remember the huge applause when Gingrich went after them?

I don’t. He’ll continue to get better, and she’ll pay the price.

Don’t think all the debates will look like last night.

He should also ask the moderator if he is there to debate him too

Ask if he think he has to help hilLIARy out?

Trump needs to meet with Gingrich who did very well when he slammed a debate moderator.

Trump should prepare a little better and show up. Begging off will look weak and will cost him. Standing tall and making cogent points while not losing his cool in the face of vicious attacks by Hillary and her henchmen is what he needs to do. Well, that and return fire as appropriate without blowing his top.

Debates are worthless.

Democrats are just rigging it for Hillary.

It’s not even worth going.

The debate committee that sets these circuses up is chaired by Bill Clinton's former chief of staff.

Interesting. What's your source? I ask because Wikipedia says:

Co-chairs are always one RAT, one Repub.

Guliani should spend his time hammering Clinton on the corruption issue. He is a former US Attorney.

As Attorney General he basically dismantled the 5 Mafia crime families in New York. So he shouldn't have too much trouble taking on the Clinton Crime Family.

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

Nope. Trump needs to reengage in the next two debates, and prep more intensively. The debate last night, though not a bad showing for him, was a learning experience and he’ll draw from it. With more prepping, he’ll be more polished next time.

IIRC, the next debate, October 9, (a Sunday) is a Town Hall style, with those two moderators, but the audience will get to ask the questions.

Pre-screened questions, (I'm sure) but the moderators can't be certain the selected questioners' will pose the exact questions...lol.

Furthermore, Donald Trump does exceptionally well whenever he mingles with regular people!

Also, IIRC, the Town Hall is being held in the SOUTH - Louisiana, I think!!!

“Guiliani is 100% correct. “

Yes.

And who exactly has required all debates to be run by Democrat stooges in the media?

Lester Dolt: the third debater

by Tyler Durden
Sep 27, 2016 10:52 AM

Via Heat Street,

At last night’s debate, Donald Trump faced off not just against Hillary Clinton, but against moderator Lester Holt.

The game of two-on-one saw Holt ask no questions about:

Hillary’s emails
Benghazi
The Clinton Foundation

While ignoring these issues, Holt grilled Trump on stop-and-frisk, the birther story, his comments about women, his many bankruptcies, why he hasn’t released his tax returns — and a host of other issues the media sees as unfriendly to the Republican candidate.

Holt also repeatedly attempted to “fact check” on some of Trump’s positions, such as his claim to have opposed the Iraq War from the beginning. Holt interrupted Trump several times to interject, but rarely succeeded (and may have come across as weak and impotent).
