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.

Hillary will, of course, get an advance copy of the questions in order to giver her staff ample time to plan responses. In other words, to dodge and evade the question.
I guress Brian Williams wasn’t available.
Oh this is BS.
Back to back? Who goes first? Bet it’s Trump! Bring me the cat’s ass, something smells good in stinksville!
It's a Trap! by the squid in Star Wars as Shelton says in the "Big Bang Theory". Funny episode.
Seriously, why would Trump agree to this?
So what? It's not like Trump hasn't already confronted the Lion's Den of iniquity and vanquished it totally. If he run's and hides from this, it makes him look like the very definition of a WIMP:
Whimpering
Incompetent
Malingering
PUSSYcat
This is just another chance to move the ball towards the goal and run flat over the opposition. Let Trump.... BE Trump! Unafraid and unapologetic! He'll own 'em before the night is over.
Is this A DEBATE or is it a forum?
I’m confused.
It will be one-hour forum where Clinton and Trump will answer question.
Well one of them will.
military focus?
“Mms Clinton, Benghazi was basically a one-block 13-hour mini-war. You failed to send support, complained of ‘the fog of war’ to excuse inaction, and disappeared for at least 8 hours. Why should we trust you to run a real war?”
“If not Matt, then who?”
Martha McCallum, Bill Hemmer, Shannon Bream, Ed Henry, Bill O’Reilly...
He would be a great choice. Also, perhaps Judge Jeanine Pirro?
Why are you being so polite?
No doubt. Go back and watch CNBC debate where the lady asks Trump where she got her question from and they have to bring in new moderators halfway through to bail out the first ones.
The worst case scenario is a RINO hosting where he gets lulled into an answer (remember Hannity debacle).
If it is a Clknton supporter he gets to make a jab at the bad question then talk about whatever he wants from there.
Do you really think Laurer is going to be able to take him on directly and win? Trumps enters everywhere like everyone works for him. He will approach Laurer the same way.
Media is going to hate anything he says anyway so who cares.
Donald Trump will be in the absolute worst lighting. He’ll have the absolute worst camera angle shot. He’ll look 50 pounds heavier and 30 years older. And he’ll be shorter than Hillary because she will be on a golden pedestal.
Everyone in the audience will be Hillary voters. They will cheer madly every time she opens her mouth.
I hope Donald Trump is ready to be asked “ Who the Prime Minister of the country of Cookey Pawn. (I know that country doesn’t exist but NBC and Matt Lauer doesn’t care about trivial details.) Their goal is to make Donald Trump as distasteful as possible.
Lord, I hope he doesn’t look at his watch, roll his eyes, sigh or yawn. Because we will see it over and over again for days.
Best idea yet. The Founders would approve.
Sounds fair to me. (S)
WTF? They won’t be on the stage together? Why not?
