In a speech Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump called the first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton “rigged,” and seemed to place much of the blame on the moderator, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt.
“Then I had to put up with the anchor, and fight the anchor all the time on everything I said,” Trump said. “What a rigged deal.”
The comments represent a shift from the morning after the debate, when Trump told Fox and Friends “I thought Lester was really good for the half … I thought he was fine. Nothing outstanding. He gave me very unfair questions at the end, last three or four questions. I’m not complaining.”
I bet Trump sends his observer during set up for the Anderson Cooper debate.
Quote:
“Next debate forget whatever is asked. Speak to the people of your plans. Forget Cooper and that skinny ugly hag and of course Hillary.
Talk straight to America. Ride over Anderson and everyone else. Dominate the debate with your thoughts.”
This.
He did. Hillary borrowed it.
FR has been sluggish for me as well and I have 50 megabit service, wondered if anyone else noticed, apparently someone did.
Trump hasn't won a single debate, not one, but he is still ahead because people are so disgusted with both parties. Trump had me in his pocket as soon as he said he would build a wall.
” ... Trump ... observer...”
Let’s hope so!! It’s easy to second guess; however, after the Matt Lauer ear piece pictures, his campaign ought to have been out in front of this.
I think I said something to that effect on a thread soon after and before this one.
Well, hind sight is 20/20 but the campaign had best watch that evil woman’s every move.
state publically that with the next debate you demand that your people inspect the witch's cauldron immediately before the debates and immediately after....better yet, demand plexi glass podiums or no podiums at all...
No one should be on the stage before the debate. The podiums should not be touched by anyone after the debate. It’s coming to a point that an election campaign from each side needs to look over the opponent and the podium. This is becoming plain ridiculous!
You know the game is rigged, so all Trump needs to do is ignore the question posed by the biased moderator, and just say whatever the hell he wants in reply. So what if what he says is “non-responsive!” This is not a court of law.
I saw Fox News calling him out for this. Oh well. It was rigged as could be.

It is very sinister. Most people don’t even see what is so plain to people such as ourselves. Then demonized Trump and his followers so much, that we are closed to being open season. I know there has been isolated cases. However, if coasts to reelection (cheating of course), they will dramatically increase. If she does lose, the next election will be violent.
Sorry to hear that. You really should find some other outlets. There is actually life outside of politics. I refuse to let these political fools screw with my happiness.
Fox news with Bret Hume just had a piece about conspiracy theories. The little box was brought up on Hillarys back. The guest said there was nothing to the theories. No one revealed what the box was. What a joke.

The next time a “moderator” steps in to “fact-check”, or argue with Trump; he should invite him or her up to the dais, to join Clinton on her podium. Trump can offer to debate both of them as a team — provided they share Clinton’s time allotment.
Why do you suppose it is that Brit has that program now instead of Greta?
He should have been prepared to deal with a "rigged" debate, since he said it would be rigged beforehand.
We don't need another Al Gore, Mr. Trump.
I agree. But if he complains that the debate was "rigged" then he sure sounds like he's playing the victim.
?? Were you poking somebody, or pressing too hard on the remote, or?
