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.”

If Hillary can´t figure out a way to handle obstacles that pop up in front of her during the debates, how is she ever going to stack up against Putin, the Chinese, and all the Middle East mullahs and potentiates that she would run up against as President?

I think we need to raise expectations for Hillary. After all, she was both a Senator and a Secretary of State. Trump? He was just a reality show star...inexperienced.

Hillary always wants someone else to do her work for her.

Well, it’s Mook’s job to say things like this.

What’s inexcusable is that so many in the media agree.

This is an interesting development.

There's one BIG reason why Clinton's campaign staff want the debate moderator to "police" Donald Trump, instead of having Hillary Clinton do it herself:

She can't stand there and point out any errors, omissions and misstatements in his comments without coming across as an unpleasant, grating hag on national television.

For 25 years we’ve known she has lied everytime her mouth opened and even the Courts have said “Move on.” Tomorrow, if Trump says ANYTHING she will call it a lie and the media will say “She’s right, ya know.” and no Court will be involved but he is still branded a liar of the first tier. Sheesh!

“Trump Lies” is one of the rat talking points being floated out into the public consciousness, along with “racist” and “white supporters”.

Topics for the debate on Monday night.

Lester Holt, moderator of the first 2016 presidential debate, has selected the topics for that debate.

Subject to possible changes because of news developments, the topics for the September 26 debate are as follows, not necessarily to be brought up in this order:

America’s Direction
Achieving Prosperity
Securing America

The debate will be held on Monday, September 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. The format calls for six 15-minute time segments. Two 15-minute segments will focus on each of the topics listed above.

All debates start at 9:00 p.m. ET and run for 90 minutes without commercial interruption.

Multi-tasking is now beyond the expectations for a potential leader of the free world? Dems really do set a low bar.

Candy Crowley.

Her 'fact checking' ended her career. And donuts.

And apparently liberals aren't aware that for the past 20 years, you can fact check on the fly using the internet.
