Top Trump Adviser Giuliani: I Wouldn't Do Another Debate
MSN ^ | 27 September 2016

Posted on 09/27/2016 10:19:25 AM PDT by Publius

One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has said he would pull out of the next debate if he were running for president.

"If I were Donald Trump I wouldn't participate in another debate unless I was promised that a journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker," Rudy Giuliani said after Monday's debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton.

While Giuliani lashed out at NBC News' Lester Holt, who moderated the event, Trump said he "felt [Holt] was fine."

Giuliani added: "I did not say what I'm advising, I'm saying what I would do. Whatever advice I give to Donald Trump, I'll give to Donald Trump."

NBC News' Hallie Jackson reported that Trump had told her he was committed to taking part in the second of three planned debates — which is scheduled for Oct. 9.

Now THAT would be unconventional. He should buy airtime to do his own debate.

I think a fun debate would be Rush as moderator. Let him rip Hill up one side and down the other. Trump could sit back and occasionally ask him to “be a little nicer”. I would LMAO.

Rush is functionally deaf, which is why he has indicated that he has no desire to moderate any debates.

I agree. Time much better so t meeting with American citizens now. We’ve had a debate. HilLIARy’s Zombie Resurrection Juice managed to keep her vertical. That’s that.

Even more interesting is, how have none of the people attending the Goldman Sachs speeches leaked any of the content?

Be very afraid of this woman and her thugs.

Dear Rudy:

Trump is a ratings bonanza for a network.

He did fine against Lester and Hillary.

On to the next debate.

I dont think this is the kind of narrative that should be set.

Something to remember, once an issue is broached in a debate, it will not be brought up again - a candidate can/will simply say 'hey we covered this already, lets not waste time'.

So, Trump has an advantage with future debates, the Birther issue, and his Tax Returns, are now covered, and done with!


None of Hillary's scandals have been covered, so they are all fair game.


This was a HUGE risk! Had they knocked him out, and the race was over, it would have paid off big. But, now, since it didn't work, Trump is sitting pretty for the future debates. He only needs to show that it's still an issue the voters care about, and demand that it get covered.

Perfect assault...imprint in the people’s mind. Wallace will listen...CNN won’t care as they are funded and operated by Clinton’s puppet masters.

"Why wasnt the question asked why she has not released her Goldman Sachs speeches?"

That was the perfect comeback for her badgering him on not releasing his taxes.

Also, how is the topic of 'cyber security' discussed by Hillary with a straight face? That woman set our intelligence community back 40 years with our classified information compromised on her illegal private and NONSECURE server! How did Trump NOT bring that up?

Trump needs to be more proactive in writing key words (for comebacks) down DURING the debate. He didn't do that very often.

Nevertheless. He era of being repeatedly ambushed by the Brown Shirts has become monotonous. Let the Rats take abuse for a couple decades and THEN we can find real neutral journalists.

Rather than Rush, you might want to suggest Hannity.

Trump has PLENTY of ammo left. He’ll play hardball this next debate, and then deliver the killing blows at the last debate, which will be too close to the Finish Line for her to do anything about.

And, Yes. Both Trump AND Rudy approve of my plan to drive a stake into the heart of the Beast on live TV and be done with her once and for all! :)
