Trump Faces Tag Team of Cooper and Raddatz at Next Debate (3 against 1)
newsbusters.org ^ | 10/7/2016 | Geoffrey Dickens

If Donald Trump thought he was in a two-to-one fight at the last presidential debate (Hillary Clinton and debate moderator Lester Holt) he should be prepared for a three-to-one fight on Sunday night. In addition to his Democratic opponent, Trump will be going up against CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and ABC reporter Martha Raddatz. A look at their careers shows they both have a tendency to lean left.

Of course and why they accept this nonsense is beyond me. For that matter why do you need two “moderators” at a supposed town hall where the audience asks questions.

I’ve watched CNN a good amount during this election. Anderson Cooper is very very far gone.

He’ll be torn between following his orders and completely casting aside any chance of him being taken seriously as a “fair” journalist in the future. I guess my thinking is that there is a shadow of a chance that he will try to appear to be fair.

“I think the candidates should each choose one moderator.”

How are republicans so dumb that we end up with the same debate crap every election?

Trump needs to tell the gay guy and Raddatz to take their cheap shot questions to Baldwin on SNL and only respond to questions about issues that matter to the 50% of Americans who reside in this country. Some fat drug dealers wife with an anchor baby doesn’t mean jack to people who care about America.

I can’t figure out why we agree to these “moderators”. We all know what’s going to happen.

The questions are going to come from the audience, Like Rush Limbaugh said yesterday, expect the audience to be stacked with Kazir Khan's and Alicia Machado's asking Trump "When did you stop beating your wife? Gotcha questions."

Rush said what the media hopes is that Trump gets angry and starts attacking the audience, which they will of course portray as him bullying innocent participants. Rush said his advice to Trump would be to totally ignore any "Gotcha" questions, just brush them off with a quick statement, "I'm not hear to talk about (Gotcha Question) I've answered those questions already and you're free to go to my website and read my response...but tonight I'm talking about my plans to make America great again with X, Y, Z.

Why are the moderators always members of the press? The debate would be much more entertaining if, say, Elizabeth Warren moderated.

The Donald’s best strategy would be to direct his replies toward, and ONLY toward, the camera and microphone, ignoring both the moderators and Herself as he delivers his response. If there are attempts to interrupt, as there were with the confrontation between Pence and Kaine, growling something about “This MY microphone, thank you!”, and continuing a calm litany to the American people, that makes up his answer to the question on the table.

This IS a church service, you know. The pastor speaking to his flock.

“I know I’ll take heat, but Cooper will be tough on both of them.”

Question will become, of the two, which one wants Kelly’s spot at Fox news when she leaves?

You might know better than I then - I rarely catch much cable or broadcast news. Mostly just excerpts of interviews and such.

“lean left”???

If they leaned any more left they would fall head first into the leftist sh1t tank.

Oh wait.....

Four to one if you include the ringers in the audience.

1st Question to Trump: “Why do you hate blacks”?
1st Question to Hillary: “What inspired you to do so much for the poor”?

This is Trump’s moment to break out of the Left’s debate trap and show people he can take them on.

And he can do it, unless one of them brings up the issue of some kid he got into a fistfight with in the second grade and he spends 45 minutes defending himself.
