NY Times: How Hillary Clinton Went From Hesitant to Scorching
NY Times ^ | September 27, 2016 | Michael Barbaro and Matt Flegenheimer

Posted on 09/26/2016 11:27:58 PM PDT by Zakeet

It started with a mystifying missed opportunity on race. It ended with a piercing attack on gender.

Hillary Clinton's performance in the first presidential debate on Monday veered from uncertain and tentative to firm and, ultimately, scorching.

No amount of practice, it seemed, could fully prepare her - or perhaps anyone - for Donald J. Trump's hurricane of factual distortion, taunting interruptions and blustery generalities.

Mrs. Clinton seemed to slowly but steadily learn how to confront and subdue Mr. Trump on the fly, as tens of millions of Americans watched.

[Snip]

Mrs. Clinton eventually found her footing in the second half of the debate. The moderator, Lester Holt, helped.

Us brilliant newsers at the Times reached our conclusion right after we read our marching orders from the DNC ... chugged a case of malt ... and hit the mute button!

So, was she brilliant, or just the person feeding her answers through her earpiece?

“The moderator, Lester Holt, helped.”

Even the NY Times realized Holt was actively helping Hillary.

I knew the debate was going to be a bias blowout when Holt opened his mouth for his first sentence and found it to be a paraphrase of, “Now that Obama has made the economy wonderful and gave us all jobs for the last 8 years after George Bush blew it so badly....”

New York Times admitted... Lester Holt was in the tank for Hillary!

The system is rigged. Yeah and Americans fell heads over heels for her.

More writers, more lies.

If she was scorching, it was because Donald Trump burned her repeatedly.

Hillary is the biggest liar of all time.

Someone needs to tell Trump about Hillary and her real plan here so Trump can hit Her with this on the next debate or in ads:

This is how Hillary plans to turn the USA into Venezuela. Cruz , Jeb and other never Trumpers and democrats willingly electing Hilary is America committing suicide:

Hillary promised executive amnesty to 40 million illegals
in first 100 days. This proves Hillary is 1 million times worse than Obama.

And Hillary plans to dissolve the U.S. border first 100 days:

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/05/25/clinton-releases-plan-dissolve-us-border-within-100-days/

that means 10’s of millions of more voters for Hillary/socialism. Hillary is worse than ObAMA AND Chavez combined. If Hillary wins America is done and will become Venezuela . They have no food nor medicine in Venezuela now because of socialism. it doesn’t work. first Hillary will implement single payer healthcare. Google it. it’s true . and all that don’t do everything to stop Hilliary it’s what they are doing is destroying America.

Trump outlined his immigration policy in a speech. Ann coulter said that was the greatest speech she ever heard and I agree. why don’t you all read it or see it? All Americans have to unite to defeat Hillary the communist = Chavez

Help spread all this message above to all Americans . Hillary is 1 million times worse than Obama .

Look, I think Holt thought he was unbiased. I actually think this NYT writer thinks he is unbiased, and even Hilary sees herself as unbiased.

Its not that the system is rigged, so much as the system is inbred, and those running it are smug and shallow...they don't even realize they just handed Trump the election.

A lot of the support for Trump is also a protest against the unfair nature of the debate.

American believe in playing by the rules. Lester Holt didn’t.

Americans and the MSM saw it quite differently.

And Trump just won the election.

And Trump loves to brag about these online polls too. He’s tweeting them all and it’s driving media crazy.
