Report: Lester Holt May Pull a Candy Crowley at First Presidential Debate

CNN’s Brian Stelter says Lester Holt is signaling to his NBC colleagues that he may enter the fray in Monday night’s presidential debate as a participant rather than a moderator — thanks to intense left-wing backlash over Matt Lauer’s performance at the “Commander in Chief Forum” weeks ago.

I have been saying all along that the so-called “debate” is nothing more than a media circus. Why the hell even have a debate when the ass hat talking heads (actually the rear end of the body) are hoping to derail what Trump has to say? Yep, a circus all right. I think there is a good old western movie on about the same time so I will watch that instead.

There’s a reason they picked a black man to moderate. Oooh, Trump jumped bad with Lester Holt. He’s a racist.

[Hardastarboard]

It's like the Soviet Union in America now.

It's VERY much like the Soviet Union in America now, except the people who destroy your life and threaten you with violence are Democrat Party members, not the KGB. At least for now, until they get total control of the government.

[Political Junkie Too]

Not too shabby when you can get the umpire to also cover second base for you.

Why the hell did he agree to the MSM moderating these things???

I never watch those things or States of the Union etc. I have a Nordic Noir TV series lined up to start watching tonight.

[JenB987]

I fully expect him to hit Hillary with hardball questions like “What’s your favorite color?” and “What would you have done differently in regard to Harambe?”

[wastoute]

“Fair agreement”... With the Rats? That is your problem, right there.

5 things to know about lester holt

he plays a 5 string electric bass in a jazz group which seems good.

(however, he never completed a college degree. and a journalism degree is one of the easiest majors in college. but these journalists do not seem to be hired for their smarts...)

I saw Hillary Clinton talking about the fact that small business creation in America has stalled out for the first time in U.S. history. I have also seen stories for years about abuses in federal programs for small businesses. I would like to see Lester Holt ask Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump what they plan to do to help small businesses. I’d like to know if they plan to end all the problems and abuses that have been uncovered in federal small business programs. Here is the video of Secretary Clinton talking about small business.

I just wonder why Trump agrees to let these political hacks moderate the debate? Maybe he has something up his sleeve, with which to beat proverbial knobs on his head.

Absolutely. From what I've learned Trump is a planner. He has backup plans and backup plans for his backup plans. I'm certain that he's prepared for when Lester Dolt injects himself into the debate.

He's putting on 300 pounds?

[lodi90]

And when Trump fights back he will be branded racist.

[JimSp]

They were quoting CNN.

[jmaroneps37]

He “MAY” enter as a partisan ha ha ha ha really?

[Iron Munro]

In this article they photo-shopped about 60 pounds and 20 years off Candy Crowley.

Here is the photo from the article compared with the way she looked 4 years ago in the obama/Romney debate

Advice to Lester Holt: Mr. Holt, you are a smart, even handed, fair fellow....stay that way. Just take a gander at “Candy Crowley”.....Candy Crowley, who? As soon as she uttered her words at the Obama/Romney 2012 debate...her career, for all practical purposes, ended right there. I can assure you no one in the Clinton campaign will stand by your side as you go downward to the toilet flush that will dispence you immediately into obscurity.

I warn you that you should face reality...foget your media so-called buddies, forget your Clinton/Obama non-friends. A massive sea change is alive and well across the country, that far outwieghs and dwarfs the rants & raves of the Clinton/Obama heavily biased media and the fools running the Clinton campaign.

Just ask the questions and keep things on track with dignity. Let Clinton, Mark Cuban (who is a supreme fool, will remain silent while, used and abused by HRC), and Trump go at it themselves!!!

[DaxtonBrown]

Let us hope Lester yties to sway the debate. Trump will handle him and the bias will be obvious.

[NYRepublican72]

We’ll call the moderator, ‘Clinton’s co-candidate’.

And that's EXACTLY what Trump will call Holt if he tries to pull this stunt. The left-wing press is, as usual, disgusting.

[uncitizen]

This will not help Hillary or hurt Trump. It will hurt CNN. But go ahead, Lester do it. CNN is not salvage anyway.

[thoughtomator]

I cannot figure out why Trump permitted any MSM flack to be a debate moderator, unless he knew he would get set up and had a plan to work it to his advantage.
