Donald Trump Now Says First Debate Was ‘Rigged'
tv Newser ^ | Sep. 29, 2016 - 4:09 PM | Mark Joyella

Posted on 09/29/2016 1:34:53 PM PDT by Red Steel

In a speech Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump called the first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton “rigged,” and seemed to place much of the blame on the moderator, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt.

“Then I had to put up with the anchor, and fight the anchor all the time on everything I said,” Trump said. “What a rigged deal.”

The comments represent a shift from the morning after the debate, when Trump told Fox and Friends “I thought Lester was really good for the half … I thought he was fine. Nothing outstanding. He gave me very unfair questions at the end, last three or four questions. I’m not complaining.”

that’s going to be smart down the road even if he makes it (and i think he probably will). because hillary is not the first bullshit artist he is going to have to refute on his feet.

The polls show he did much better than a draw. But bash away...

The best answer is for trump to be Trump in the next debates.

I would not presume to give him any advice. He beat 16 of the top GOP in the primaries, and HilLIARy had to cheat to beat an old stupid communist.

I do WISH he would throw the book at her, but I expect he knows what he is doing.

He can’t skip the debates; Trump fears no battlefield.

He can’t play the victim; that’s for pussies.

He can and should blast when appropriate; but his main job is to represent himself and the American people.

There’s more than one way for Donald to approach this menace, it is true.

I think God is watching specially over him, that he’s even going to learn something helpful through his “mistakes.”

Clinton had something in her ear during a debate once again Monday night, begging the question: What is it? (Reuters photo)

I had a boss that hated me so I learned to do it. It’s pretty easy once you get into the groove. You have to know your facts though.

He should walk over to Hellary’s podium and announce to the audience he’s checking it for the cheater devices she used at the first debate.

Stop talking about what he’s done in business and focus on the country.

Learn the Southern art of insults. Go for the jugular while smiling sweetly.

Problem is mentioning it makes him look like he’s whining to the LIV’s.

And it’s an actual true fact that sitting on our hands and whining about the situation is exactly what the cult of cowardice has conditioned us to limit ourselves to.

I’ve gotten to the point where I consider “even tempered” to mean “moderate” and moderate is only someone who lacks the personal integrity to own up to being a member of the domestic enemy.

You more even tempered guys handle it best. Even tempered is NOT a word to describe me. Already have one finger in a splint after debate.

“He should walk over to Hellary’s podium “

Ask Rick Lazio how that worked for him.
