Donald Trump Now Says First Debate Was ‘Rigged'
tv Newser ^ | Sep. 29, 2016 - 4:09 PM | Mark Joyella

In a speech Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump called the first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton “rigged,” and seemed to place much of the blame on the moderator, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt.

“Then I had to put up with the anchor, and fight the anchor all the time on everything I said,” Trump said. “What a rigged deal.”

The comments represent a shift from the morning after the debate, when Trump told Fox and Friends “I thought Lester was really good for the half … I thought he was fine. Nothing outstanding. He gave me very unfair questions at the end, last three or four questions. I’m not complaining.”

Rise above it; he could have have kicked her rear end in the first one.
She is the worst candidate in decades; beat her like a rented mule in the next one.

He can’t play the victim; that’s for pussies.

I don’t think he should keep his mouth shut.

You don't get to have it both ways. It don't work that way.

I think he should dismiss the enemedia as irrelevant dinosaurs, vestiges of a bygone era of info control - as his opponent is an irrelevant dinosaur, a (barely) living symbol of bygone days... a late and unlamented past, destined never to return.

America looks forward to a bright future, created by forward-thinking optimists, not a murky fog emitted by old-style mandarins of the “New World Order.”

Again, you can't have it both ways. No bueno. And you can't cherry pick and tell Trump what to say or what not to say. You can always vote for H. Clinton if what Trump says does not meet your approval. Simple.

Not quite. If that were true they would certainly not be hosting as well as moderating the debates.

I reject your framing of the argument - “You can’t have it both ways... You can’t cherry pick...”

Of course I can choose to comment on certain aspects of Trump’s approach, and leave others behind.

As far as voting for “H. Clinton,” only brain-dead liberals, fools, gibsmedats and traitors would do that.

The above is what you stated, not I. In one breath you tell Trump to keep his mouth shut and don't respond to the lying corrupt media. In the next breath you don't want him to keep his mouth shut regarding the lying corrupt media.

Ya can't have it both ways slick. That's not the way it works. If you'd like, I can repeat this half a dozen more times for you.☺

There is a difference between keeping one’s mouth shut and crying about unfair treatment.

Apparently you are too dim to grasp that subtlety.

Who is “slick”?

You don't get to have it both ways no matter how much you demand it. ☺

The real question is... if you are “Dragnet2”... who is Dragnet1?
