As was expected, Monday night’s presidential debate moderator, Lester Holt couldn’t exactly hide his bias towards Hillary Clinton….
The Daily Caller points out, “Holt interrupted Trump a whopping 41 times, either to “fact-check” the Republican nominee, or to ask a follow-up question. Clinton was only interrupted seven times during the course of the 90-minute debate.”
The so-called NBC journalist interrupted Trump 10 times during an exchange about the GOP nominee’s position on the Iraq war, and demanded at least 5 times why Trump thought he had better judgment than Clinton.
A Breitbart analysis of the debate transcript notes that Lester Holt only asked six questions directed at both candidates. Other than that, the “moderator” asked 15 questions exclusively of Trump and only TWO of Hillary Clinton….
I agree with Rudy Giuliani- Holt should be ashamed of himself.
You're right! It would have been funny to see her suddenly speechless. Wonder who was behind the curtain.
What will be different at the next debate?
Hey, we just have to put up with these media airheads, I include Juan and Dana in this too for trying to act intelectuall when they are out of their depth.
The betting odds are still 71 Clinton.
Wow. I never considered the subliminal ramifications of that forced imagery.
Hitlery: HEAD HELD UP (as in convicted in declarative truth)
Trump: HEAD SLUMPED DOWNWARD (as in sloppily hunched, ashamedly defensive.)
The degree to which this debate was calculated and tricked-out is un-believable. We haven't even gotten to The Hag's blatant signaling to Holt, his blatant over-prosecution of Trump, ZERO questions about Hitlery's peccadillo, NOR her cheat-sheet that was whisked away at the close by Team Hag's clean-up crew.
I am also curious as to how much time each candidate actually spoke with the floor to himself/herself. It seemed like Trump got the short end of the time, but I could be wrong.
Me I would have used the nose wiggle or the ever popular ear lobe pull. ................................. You are all wrong, they knew you would think that. The real method was Morse code, she blinked it, surprised no one caught it, ;o)
You know that NBC knew what Holt was doing right? Why would they fire him when he just did what they told him to do?
Did you perhaps forget to add a sarcasm tag to that post? If not, it strikes me as ridiculous.
Hillary is swimming against the current. Every time she pauses to catch her breath, she loses ground.
And that's probably the best rigged debate performance Hillary's going to be able to get away with. It's all uphill for her from now on.
Vote Trump!
I agree, it was all coordinated and they are trying to set up the hilLIARy positive narrative afterwards.
I seriously doubt they succeeded though. She came across as a liberal elitist snob during the debate and that is the same reaction I'm getting from family and friends. The left, the dem party, and the enemedia will fail trying to prop up someone as to her character and is so unlikeable.

Well, then I suggest you put some money on her...
We the People are not fooled by all these antics by the fascist left.
The whole thing is rigged to the nth degree, and will continue to be.
All the way to the vote-counting.
I was looking for that too a few days after. I thought that was something they usually released.
Ban Media Moderators forever.
A 2 minute timer is the only necessity.
Trump will be better prepared.
Also hopefully the moderator(s) will be more even-handed, since it would be impossible for them to be less so.
Also, in the face of criticisms leveled by journalists like Howard Kurtz, who presented ample evidence of the moderator's biased behavior.
Vote Trump!
Hillary had 6 Major Debate Cheats.
Trump still won.
If the gloves come off during the next debates, this is where Trump is most dangerous. Problem is, it could well be self-inflicting. OR he could totally destroy her. How safe should he play it?
