Clinton camp says it’s ‘unfair’ to expect Hillary to police Trump rhetoric at debate

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is pressuring Monday night’s moderator to take a more active role in the presidential debate, saying it’s “unfair” to expect the Democratic presidential nominee to dispute the veracity of Donald Trump’s claims.

“It’s unfair to ask for Hillary both to play traffic cop with Trump, make sure that his lies are corrected, and also to present her vision for what she wants to do for the American people,” Robby Mook said on ABC’s “This Week.”

When pressed by host George Stephanopoulos that that’s “what a debater is supposed to do,” Mr. Mook said this case is “special.”

Trump will have the bigger challenge in that regard.

Some liars lies are more permissive than others it would seem. That knife sure can cut from both sides.

Mrs Bill would like for the debate to be between the “moderator” and Mr. Trump. She wants uncontested time to say her piece at each of her allotted turns. What she doesn’t understand is that if that happens no one will even hear what she has to say. The show will be entirely Mr Trump making the Holt look petty and foolish.

Liberals never hold up well under scrutiny over their statements. This is a very dangerous path for Cankles to take.

She told the FBI she was too brain-damaged to remember what she did as Secretary of State, but says she's not too brain-damaged to not remember what she does when she's President.

As per article she would like a chance to roll out her ideas, well I suggest she have a real live news presser with honest reporters or buy herself some TV time. Debates or just that a Debate.

The Dem narrative is that TRUMP IS THE MOST DISHONEST CANDIDATE EVER. It really does me brain damage to try and understand them.

It is Mook’s job to complain about the debate format???

If Hillary is so clearly a superior candidate, then she should be able to.mop the floor with Trump at this debate.

And it makes me wonder also.....if Hillary can’t handle a debate, how the heck is she capable of handling world crises, of answering the 3 am phone call????

This has been the theme on all the news shows this week-end.

By tomorrow morning, Trump will be portrayed as a sexist bastard simply for getting out of bed and brushing his teeth.

Why would it be more “unfair” for Herself to police the assertions of The Donald, than to call upon The Donald to police the assertions of Herself? That is what is meant by “one-on-one” exchanges, and if Herself is not up to the challenge in the relatively peaceful atmosphere of a debate, what would be the chances that Herself could stand up to a REAL international conflict? No moderator or rules there, and the outcome is for keeps.

Talk about a chocolate cake melting in the mouth of a crocodile.

Reading what beardless young master Mook said brought back memories.
It reminded me of what I used to think about opponents the night before a big trial: “S/he must be s***ting her pants tonight.” And then to sleep.

The top headline of the LA Times today was something like Trump’s Lies Unmatched. How he lies more than any other candidate... Insanity.

In another manner of speaking, she wants Candy Crowley - someone who will interject themselves when the Pub CORRECTLY challenges the Dem for being untruthful. I doubt that Lester Holt wants to go down in the record books as the “next Candy Crowley.”
