Clinton team making last-minute play to work the refs ahead of the first debate
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 24, 2016 | Becket Adams

"I recognize … it is unprecedented, at least in modern times, to hold a conference to talk about special precautions that need to be taken because your opponent is a habitual liar. But that is the circumstance that we are in," Palmieri said Friday.

She went on, and continued to work the referees by stating her team is worried about the moderators situation.

"For the moderator to let lies … go unchallenged would give Donald Trump an unfair advantage, and we believe it is the role of the moderator, particularly in this case to call out those lies and to do so in real-time," Palmieri said.

The moderator is there to conduct the debate and ask questions. Catching one of the participants in an untruth is their opponent's job, not the moderator's. It amazes me that there are people who need to be told something as basic as this. I learned it in high school.

I see where this is going

The message to the moderators is to let Hillary blather on and interrupt Trump at every other word. Or act as a 3rd debater that follows every Trump response with a counterpoint before flipping back to Grandmother Rodham

Yes, and I might add that the only fair way to moderate a debate is to ask both candidates identical, planned questions. (Watch the tapes of the 1960 debates.) But this too has fallen by the wayside. Now the moderator is allowed to be involved. The potential for spin and shenanigans is monumental.

Pretty sure it's the one on the far right.

the fact that they can say these things with a straight face while pimping for Americas most corrupt and well known liar is downright scary.

You can’t say Hillary lacks chutzpah. For her to call someone, anyone a liar is preposterous beyond all reason.

Why not do this instead. Hook up both candidates to polygraphs during the debate. In fact, I’d love to it if Trump offered to do just that - both candidates hooked up to polygraphs for the entire 90 minutes with their screens available to be monitored online. That should shut this up immediately.

One “special precautions “ the Trump team should certainly make would be to have hidden electronic blocking gear to shut out any Hitlery hearing devises.

Typical Democrat tactic. Try to, but in their minds they actually are putting off onto Trump stigmatization that he’s the pathological liar, the congenital liar Hillary is known to be PRIOR TO THE DEBATES.

We can therefore expect Hillary calling Trump a liar during the debates relying on their false narrative of prior to the debate. They live in a strange World, but if one watches them long enough one can call their next move. They truly are transparent.

I bet the “off the books” pay for a presidential debate moderator is at an all time high right now. Bet the side benefits aren’t bad either.

Only 10% of the HRC brain will be figuring out how to respond to a Trump 'lie'.

90% will be occupied with suppressing a cough.
