At 8 PM Eastern time tonight a so-called Commander-In-Chief Forum will be on NBC. The event will be hosted by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Hillary and The Donald will be answering national security questions (the questions will be from the audience, I'm told).
Will Hillary have a coughing fit?
This is the first executive amnesty done illegally and unconstitutionally by Obama. He legalized these so-called Dreamers giving them SSNs and work permits. They can be up to the age of 30 to apply.
So the reality is that Obama has changed their legal status from illegal alien to legal presence. They are no longer ineligible to join the military in certain circumstances. It is a disgrace that Congress stood by and allowed this to happen.
States are now recognizing the more than 700,000 illegal aliens given status under DACA. They are issuing them drivers' licenses and in-state tuition. It is a big scam.
Faggot Alert!!!
my takeaway-Hillary does not prepare she is programed. She has no clue what anyone is saying just what she wants them to think.
Group Think Syndrome.
See my response #321.
All in all Trump held his own. The undecided vets, give me a break, where did the find them. I work with vets every day and all I here is MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!
The vets, including me, overwhelmingly support Trump. You wouldn't know it from the big applause that greeted Hillary when she went on stage.
This isn't about courting undecided vets, it is about portraying Trump as being unfit to be CIC.
Trump's job tonight was to remain in control and look presidential. A+ on that.
Hillary's job was to just get through the damn thing and let the media cover for her... trouble was she used the worst lie possible by saying we lost no Americans in Libya. Trump is already hanging that around her neck. Hopefully an ad is forthcoming.
Hillary also wrapped up her theme for the evening by praising Muslims when our number one enemy is Islamic terror. For sure, democrats will love her answers and the twitter world will be alive with the paid hacks.
But as far as what actually came out of this evening.... Hillary made the unforced errors not Trump. She gets a D.
On the top and the bottom of classified documents, it has captions or is stamped written:
CONFIDENTIAL
(document body - blah blah)
CONFIDENTIAL
Trump needs to calmly and with the right hitting words to the moderator, point out now biased he is and that it shows to everyone.. remind him to ask the same questions with the same follow ups to hillary. The victim does not have to take the onslaught the biased media hands out to Trump.
I remember when Newt told the moderator off in the last debate he was in (2012), and the audience gave a standing ovation to Newt.
Snowflakes... No wonder they haven’t won anything in decades ...
she was not called on her lies. in other words, she got away with it. The audience saw that not all the information you and I know
She didn't have a coughing fit on camera. But NBC did end her 30 minute segment segment early (only 24 minutes), then padded it with a solid 6 minutes of commercials so you gotta wonder. (Trump got his full 30 minutes I think.)
Normally I would agree, but tonight he played it just right by letting everything roll off his back (or his ducktail, as it were).
SHillary was heaving dinner into a trash can ...
Wasn’t the “Gorelick Wall” brought to US by Mr Hillary?
How very rich.
I think Trump just held back tonight, but on the 26th it’ll be different. It will be his first chance to face her and it will be no holds barred. You won’t see the “let’s get along” attitude of McCain nor will you see the “scared as hell” demeanor of Mittens with Trump when he faces Coughing Clinton on stage.
The audience also doesn't matter, just like it didn't matter in the primary debates.
Trump's job was to look presidential.... he did. Hillary merely reinforced that she lies and that she is pro Muslim. I don't know what more I can add. Hillary didn't really get away with anything. Trump is already out there with her Libya lie.
Freep this poll

Huma is always dialed in to Clinton’s ear.
It was a terrible format. Since when were news hacks assigned to control and be so involved in these debates/forums? Why are they still using network media who are de facto Trump opponents to control these forums/debates?
In fact Lauer was literally trying to debate Trump, not simply ask questions. He was looking for a “gotcha” but never found it. What would be wrong with unbiased neutral professional orators delivering questions from the American people in these forums?
Why are biased collusive liars calling the shots in these events? I thinks it’s outrageous. It’s like walking into court on a bogus charge and seeing the prosecutors wife on the bench.
This whole affair with the biased media being part of these events are very odd. They should be covering the event, not controlling it.
