Perhaps Donald Trump should coin a phrase, “doing the jobs that the American press won’t do.”
The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has come and gone. So who won?
That’s a harder question to answer than “who lost?”
The loser in this case was journalistic integrity.
The “performance” by so-called moderator Lester Holt could be likened to that of the interfering third party in a pro wrestling event. Anytime Trump was pounding away on Hillary, Lester Holt was there to jump in the ring and hit Trump over the head with a metaphorical chair or other foreign object. Vince McMahon couldn’t have scripted a better two on one match – especially as this added the plot-twister of the referee being the one who interfered.
Holt was disgraceful. I’m with Rudy. If the Trump team cannot lay out firm demands that disallow moderators to argue points in the debate, he needs to pass. No way they’ll not agree. The ratings are gold to them.
It’s not bias. It’s treason.

Henceforth, his name is Lester Dolt
I sure hope that somebody like Hannity takes on the task of getting to the bottom of who the Clinton operative was that made contact with Holt after he picked up Clinton’s notes off of the podium.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3473993/posts?page=2
I think the candidates should have 2 or 3 minutes to present their plans and policies they want to implement if elected - without the moderator having control of all of he questions.
After Trump lists his, he could contrast it with Hillary’s.
i think we need to actually learn what a real debate is. word is what is a moderator. etc.
