Debate Moderators Released: They All Lean Left
The Daily Wire ^ | SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 | BEN SHAPIRO

Posted on 09/28/2016 7:00:54 AM PDT by RepublicanJoe

On Friday morning, the debate moderators emerged for the long-awaited presidential brawls between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The first presidential debate will be moderated by Lester Holt of NBC News; the vice presidential debate will be moderated by Elaine Quijano of CBS News; Martha Raddatz of ABC News and Anderson Cooper of CNN for the second debate; and finally, Chris Wallace for the third debate.

This isn’t a great list for Hillary, but it’s a worse list for Trump.

Regarding debate moderators...

What they should do is let where each candidate select one moderator, like in trials where each side gets his advocate. We the people would then be the jury.

They're all lefties, of course.

But how much has each of them contributed to the Clinton Foundation?

I know Little Georgie Stepanopolis gave $75,000 at least.

For example he could have said Rush Limbaugh is going to be the moderator

Limbaugh has previously said that his hearing problem would exclude him.

It starts at the top two leaders of the commission: the co-chairs. By design one is a Democrat and one a Republican.

Team Donkey has a well know Political strategist, Michael McCurry who was Clinton's Press secretary as a youngster. He is 61 years old and works as a lobbyist in his day job.

By Contrast the GOP has Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr. who is a 77 year old antique whose last political assignment was when Back to the Future was in movie theaters. He was replaced in the 1980s by the late Lee Atwater.

NOTE: Example Illustration, man with Cell phone from era of Frank Fahrenkopf's last political assignment.

We should demand (from Reince Prebus that Frank be forced out now. This is just completely unacceptable and totally predicatable.

A rather damning piece of evidence that he has gotten too friendly with and has been sleeping with the enemy is his most recent gig: In Fall of 2014, Fahrenkopf was a Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Not surprising that he views an NBC News Anchor as a fair and balanced choice who will do the GOP candidate fair.

They tried this in the primaries as well, and it backfired on the media. It will backfire again.

Thanks for the great information. This is another corrupted institution for the growing vile pile.

Ford and Reagan were Republicans when they were named to the commission—but since their deaths they have voted Democrat.

Trump should challenge Raddatz early:

Since my opponent was asked NO challenging follow up questions by the moderator in the first debate should I assume you will do the same thing this debate? If you are only going to target me then let me know. I will ask her directly the questions a fair moderator would be expected to ask.

The RNC and GOP are idiots.
I’ve heard Trump say he would change the RNC leadership ( back when Preibus was such a jerk to him).
Trump is the only person with the guts to change the Charlie Brown Football Game that we go through every 4 years with these mock debates. He can’t change it unless he wins. Then watch out. Change is coming and I welcome it with joy.

The Hildebeast and the libs aren’t going to like Chris Wallace. He isn’t worried about making her or Trump happy. He will not let her get away with anything.

That’s the debate that I’m looking forward to.
