"You've got to hand it to Trump (by Vic Berger IV )"

Damn! That’s going to leave a mark, although the MSM is going to try and push this image forward. The problem for them is it would allow Trump to answer by stating the debate was rigged.
Trump once again out maneuvers his opponents.
Trump did go over and shake Holt’s hand, but it took him a while. Holt made himself an active part of the debate, not just a moderator. The questions he asked were designed not to cause Clinton even a second of discomfort, and could have easily come right from Clinton Headquarters for all we know.
I wouldn’t have but that’s me.
I have zero respect for someone who can’t follow their own rules.
I can barely imagine how difficult it would be to debate someone that has no respect for the facts of an issue, for truth? She spoke without really saying anything. How a supposedly impartial moderator who in reality is of the same mindset, that sets up a misrepresentation as fact when asking a questions?
This corruption so vile, it’s utter humiliation & destruction is warranted.
I notice that immediately and to see Donald raise his eyebrow was making a statement “you see he was in for Hillary”. I have no doubt the media will make a big issue but I realize Cankles was with her lap dog that Donald did not want to intrude their love fest they got there. So he was walking away until he saw Cankles was no longer there and he went back and shook “whats his name” hand.
The viewers know who won, and who should be and WILL BE the next President of the USA.
Lester Holt, given the opportunity of a lifetime to show himself a distinguished moderator, was disgustingly shameless as he went after Trump and only Trump, behaving as nothing more than a sleazy hit man for Hillary Clinton. He was an attack dog, badgering Trump, but saying not a word about Bengazi, not a word about her lifetime of disgusting, dangerous lies to everyone from the American public to the highest law enforcement officials of the land, her taking hundreds of millions of slush money from Islamist regimes, her answering to the Muslim Brotherhood, hiring its operatives to run her life, etc, etc. Anyone who was not already in the tank for Hillary can not have been anything but disgusted by Holt’s terribly one-sided set of questions Holt could have gone down in history with a fine name for himself. Instead he is now on global record as being a cheap political tool. I had never heard of Holt before tonight. His name is filed in my brain under journalists who made disgraces of themselves in front of the world.
Yes, in short he out Candy Crowley’ed Candy Crowley.
Matt Lauer on the other hand was fair and balanced and can be respected for the heat he took from NYT, WaPo and the rest of the frauds.
