Everyone knew...Donald Trump was going to have a difficult time at Sunday night’s debate, as a video of incredibly lewd comments Trump made in 2005 surfaced over the weekend.
But debate moderator Martha Raddatz’s pro-Hillary Clinton bias wasn’t helping the polarizing GOP nominee one bit. Right from the get-go, ABC News’ Raddatz cut Trump off as he was answering a question about the aforementioned video.

But going into the debate, it was pretty clear Martha Raddatz would be the most biased.
Recall, this is the woman who described Hillary Clinton’s testimony before the House Benghazi committee as “riveting.”
“It was truly a riveting day on Capitol Hill. We don’t say that very often, with Secretary Clinton as some have never seen her before. She was at times, combative, charming, disarming and clearly ready for a fight.”
— ...Raddatz on Good Morning America, January 24, 2013.
She’s also previously described Clinton as “cool” and “trending.”
...her bias was expected. This isn’t the ABC correspondent’s first outing as a debate moderator. Back in 2012, she moderated the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, and at times that debate felt like a 2-on-1 gang-up on the Republican.
Raddatz allowed Biden to incessantly interrupt Ryan and, as Breitbart News reported in 2012, she attacked the Republican VP candidate at least nine separate times.
A Media Research Center report at the time found that...
Out of 48 discrete questions and follow-ups, a plurality (19, or 40%) incorporated a pro-Obama/Biden or anti-Romney/Ryan agenda...

Of course, it wasn’t surprising Raddatz played for Team Obama, considering Obama was a guest at her wedding in 1991.
Why does the Republican Party agree to let agenda-driven moderators...continue to control these debates?...

I was expecting Raddatz to be exactly what she was and has always been, a Democrat operative.
As Trump repeated often..... ok its three against one.
Presstitutes suck socialism so much they can’t / won’t find a conservative moderator or even allow such a unicorn to be a part of this BS.
I read where she was accused of bias by republicans while moderating another debate back in 2008.
The article also said she went to college with Barack Obama, and, that Obama attended her wedding.
Why does the Republican Party agree to let agenda-driven moderators...continue to control these debates?...

“Of course, it wasn’t surprising Raddatz played for Team Obama, considering Obama was a guest at her wedding in 1991.”
1991??? In 1991 Obama was less than a nobody. Unless Raddatz was a choom buddy of Obama’s how would she even have known him?
Republican ESTABLISHMENT has completely thrown in the towel on insisting on balance in the moderators.
Just like EVERYTHING else!
Trump FINALLY called out the obvious bias. The GOPe would continue the Charlie Brown and Lucy football kick routine.
and an ugly wrinkled up old hag....... bitch has a face for radio
The bias emerged in an early round (1 or 2, I cannot recall) when Hitlary was allowed to ramble on for 2:45 with no attempt to call “time”.
And a voice for newspaper...
Probably one of the worst people on the planet, too.
yeah that syops thing was hilarious
Like Feder says, quit bitching about media bias. They are the enemy.
This purported woman reminded everyone of their ex wife or their bad mother-in-law. What a waste of air and space.
Trump knew what to expect and made hay out of the briers and poison ivy they threw up. He probably does better when the whole show is so obviously rigged against him. It even makes liberals uncomfortable even as they weakly opine that Mrs Bill “won.” A perfectly even handed debate milieu would have the Press afterwards loudly proclaiming that it was all obviously rigged against Trump, and to them it would really be that way if the “moderators” didn’t openly side with the Democrat. A level field is necessarily biased against the Socialist. The Democrat has to be facing downhill at the opponent for it to be “fair.”
Just give us our cut and leave us alone to enjoy our Scotch and soda at the country club.
MARTHA RADDATZ IS THE WORST MODERATOR OF ALL TIME...
One of the usual self-hating, bed fouling suspects.
Had it too good for too long.
Didn’t Cooper say to DJT, in answer to a Trump interruption, and audience applause;*Don’t bother, it’s a waste of time.*
You could take that two ways.
