A coin toss has determined that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will go first during Wednesday evening's Commander in Chief forum, hosted by the IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and airing on NBC and MSNBC.
Clinton will take questions from moderator Matt Lauer and members of the audience -- which will largely be comprised of veterans and active service members -- for 30 minutes before Donald Trump takes the stage.
Both candidates stated a preference to be the second candidate to appear.
Dafna Linzer, managing editor for NBC News and MSNBC, performed the coin toss.
The event -- which marks the first time Clinton and Trump will be on the same stage, albeit not at the same time -- will be simulcast live on both networks at 8 p.m. ET.
Are they a bunch of lefties?
I remember they did not want any of the money Trump raised early this year for the vets, and made me wonder who they really are.
I mean, who at NBC gives a rat’s @ss about conservative veterans?
I’m amazed they didn’t have a trick coin to insure Hitlery got what she wanted-
enjoying visions of Hitlery’s face as she contemplates Trump getting to rebut what she says - and not be able to try to refute - ahahahah -
another nail in her coffin - it’s going to be thoroughly studded
Boom.
The Dems get more soldiers killed in Afghanistan than Bush did, and they lose Iraq—but it’s Trump who’s the bad guy.
Sounds like it will be a hostile audience.
They will be so respectful and adoring of Hillary.
Then they will be nasty and vindictive with Trump.
Seen this play before.
Trump will handle them with ease.
Wake me up when it’s Trump’s turn. If I try to watch her I might get sick myself.
Delsym works pretty good to suppress a cough :)
Good choice. You always remember what you heard or saw last.
I hope Hillary has a coughing fit on live TV during her interview.
Very smart of Trump. This will give him the last word and that has impact with voters.
Watched the MSNBC coin toss, and when it came up tails, signifying a Trump choice to go first or last. Trump & Clinton both preferred going last...so, Trump will follow Clinton. Shucks...I may be nuts....but destiny must be on Trumps side!!! Should be interesting this evening. Go Donald J. Trump!!!
Going to make the pig stand up the whole time?
The NBC executive, watching the coin toss, almost had a heart attack when he saw that Donald J.Trump had won the toss. Was LMAO as to the stunned look on his face!!!
Smart move Don. When I played ALTA we always let the opposing team serve first if we won the toss.
Hopefully Hitlery will cough up a sea urchin during the first segment.
a coin toss???
Seriously???
I can just see hill being a pres and making ALL decisions with a coin toss.
Trump ought to ask for a show of hands, as soon as he sits down, if anyone in the audience believed a word out her mouth!
Trump better have a good, measured, calm answer ready for a question about the Khans. I’d bet money he’s going to be asked about his “bashing” Gold Star parents by the lefties running this event.
