TRUMP should say this in his opening statement at the next debate:
“To all of you Americans watching tonight. As you watch this debate, take note of the following: I am not here to debate BOTH the moderator AND my opponent — as was the case last time when the moderator stepped in with false corrections to what I said and argued several points with me. That’s called being tag-teamed.
That is inappropriate behavior for a moderator in a presidential debate. Candy Crowley did that to Mitt Romney in the 2012 debate with Barack Obama and he was too weak to fight her on it. Unlike Mitt Romney, I will call the moderator out on inappropriate behavior immediately. To those of you in the audience, if you notice the moderator starts debating against me, please take note and verbalize this phrase “MODERATOR FOUL!” — because if the moderator is not following the rules, why should you in the audience follow the rules of not clapping or booing?
Those of you watching tonight, I’d like you to:
1. Notice how many softball questions they give my opponent compared to how many personal attack questions they direct to me. That’s because the mainstream media is in pockets of the Democratic Party, in case you hadn’t noticed. This is called “media bias.”
2. Notice how when I make a good point, the moderator tries to shift attention away from the point that was made or interrupts me, but doesn’t do the same for my opponent.
3. Notice how calculated Hillary is when she has that fake smile plastered on her face while citing far-fetched allegations about me. I’m a real person. My opponent is a phony and a fraud. Just look at all the scandals that have swirled around Hillary and her husband for the past 30 year. It’ll make your head spin. That someone with a sordid history of dishonesty tries to pin fraudulent behavior or racism on someone like me is astonishing and embarrassing to this process.
4. When politicians don’t have a valid argument against their opponent on principles, they resort to ad-hominem attacks. I may attack her record (deleting 33,000 emails and being against protecting our borders), but I do not do ad-hom attacks, although there are so many I could do. For example, she cited likely false allegations from a mere handful of my past employees many years ago. Well, I could equally cite what her personal secret service agents have said about her. Or many other petty “hear-say stories” in her past. But that’s petty.
Those of you watching are smart enough to see the phony person that is here on the stage with me.
Let’s stick to the issues tonight.
Thank you, Donald Trump.
