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.
What a good observation. If her assignment is to stay healthy looking for 90 minute under hot lights and inhuman pressure, then her letting the moderator spar with Trump (so he isn’t ‘Lauer’d’ next day) is an excellent strategy.
