On Wednesday, Sept. 7, NBC News and MSNBC along with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America will host the The Commander-in-Chief Forum in New York City.
It will be one-hour forum where Clinton and Trump will answer questions about national security, military affairs and veterans issues in front of an audience mainly made up of members of the military. The two candidates will not be on the stage at the same time, but will instead go back to back.
Its worth nothing that Lauer is listed as a notable past member on the Clinton Global Initiatives website along with Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric.
In the past, a Clinton Foundation official has said that the journalists who are part of the foundation were never asked to pay the $20,000 member fee.
In fact, in 2012, we reclassified members of the media who participate as guests rather than members to acknowledge this distinction, the official has said.

“B.S. Trump should not agree to this forum, format, or moderator- period.”
I am bitterly disappointed.
I hope it’s naiveté.
Clinton answer: "Depends"
true...but one of the dumber ones....Trump might even ask him if he is still a member of the Global Initiative...it might get so bad...debate moderators may dread it when its their turn
“Shes memorizing the answers to his questions already.”
Plus she’ll have an induction earbud to feed her Huma’s words.
Lauer is one of the worst. This idiot is a frothing in the mouth libtard moonbat. His face is so far up obama’s ass I am amazed he could talk.
Is the RNC demented???? This guy is as viperous as Stephanopolis.
So a guy who cheats repeatedly on his wife will ask questions.
What’s the betting that Hill will be scheduled for the second half so she can answer (well, sort of) any points Trump makes?
A friggin’ commie from way back!
Yes, but the time allocated to each candidate is interesting. It's hard to believe that they could get anything much said in 30 minutes. (Maybe that's the maximum amount of time that Hillary can stay away from a bathroom.)
IF so, I am skeptical that an actual debate will ever take place. This my be the closest.
So Matt Lauer, Clinton Global member will be moderating. Thats fine.
The first point of order should be pointing out that he gave at least $20,000 to the Clintons to join their inner circle.
Apparently he was invited to the privilege. You maybe also can get invited if the money is right. See more about the price of admission and access here:

How about Jim Cramer?
Matt Lauer officiating...
NBC News and MSNBC along with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America will host the The Commander-in-Chief Forum in New York City.
Oh my gosh! what a storehouse of information in the first lines...tells all this is ‘a staged set up ‘FOR HILLARY to fluff her up!....
Two of the most liberal Demorat media's as host, with one of Hillary's favorite's Matt officiating...with Demorat Veterans....held in NY City! LOLOLOLOLOL.
It's like a Hampton Doner get together they're inviting Trump to crash! ...Guaranteed a set up environment created to enrage him. They've been busy bees meeting with psychologists/psychiatrists to frame what will trip him up...and make him look ridiculous....
Why would any take Matt Lauer seriously...He's a clown, a jerk, a mental nutcase!..."Birds of a feather"....Trump will be entering the funny farm of perverts!
This is not the debates. They are just invited to a goofy forum. . Trump can have fun on TV for free by ignoring the dirt bags questions and talking about the criminal and her hiding from open questions and having no policy. Fear not.
No doubt they'll create questions Hillary will be privy to beforehand so she can shine...

This one doesn't count as they won't be on the stage at the same time. Yeah there will be three debates but I doubt much happens that is very interesting. Probably just more of the same from both of them.
The few times I’ve listened to Jim Cramer, I’m thinking of the terms ‘wonkinsh’ or ‘inside baseball’. Jim, or Jim’s signature Rants are best appreciated by fellow investors or those somewhat familiar with how the market works.
His delivery is good for the setting of his programs, and the way Bond Traders like to think of themselves, frantic, rapid-fire, blustery, and didactic. I have not seen Jim give interviews, so I would not be know how well he could hold a dialog in a subservient position, where he was not the Centerpiece.
Thanks for pointing out the difference between the two events. I had just assumed we were all speaking of Matt Lauer in place to moderate the first debate. Not so. He will moderate a forum. That’s kind of a tame prelude to an actual debate.
