There was a story yesterday about the National Security Council INSIDE the Trump White House releasing a grossly over redacted memo regarding a perfectly legit meeting he had with the Russian foreign minister Lavrov in 2017. It was corrected after publicity but shows the level of resistance even in his own WH.

“I think many saw dollar signs in that they could write a ‘tell-all’ book.”

And they’re doing that very thing. Pigs.

No wonder he is surrounding himself with family; he figures he can at least trust THEM. He must assume that every room in their private living quarters is bugged. It must be awful living in that kind of prison.

Nope, at least none exhibit any evidence of being very smart. Most are merely doctrinaire leftists who can spell, had the right connections, or looked competent and attractive.

Why don’t you give us your list of smart journalists?

A bit of video history from September 26, 1960 for those interested the first televised presidential debate...

1960 Presidential Debate #1 - John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon 9/26/1960

Sixty years ago, a world of difference...yet Kennedy, having the opening statement immediately oversteps the debate rules introducing foreign policy statements in what was supposed to be clarification of his domestic policy only, very smooth and slick.

Nixon was also very smooth, adding responses to JFK in his opening statement.

Very instructive to for those whose grand dads watched this in real time. Oh, and no teleprompters.

Trump’s hubris is a problem here. He just figures no problem I can handle it. They can go ahead and throw a biased moderator at me. The optics of Trump stomping down a woman moderator could be a disaster. Plus they will rig this in ways we cannot imagine. It feels like Trump has the momentum again. He should demand a fair moderator or forget it.

Just as I thought. Her archived tweets are dripping with anti Trump animus.

“It’s time to have no moderators, just time keepers. Let’s have a real debate.”

And why do they call these biased inquisitors “moderators”?

A moderator should be more like a referee not an active participant.

My preference for an informative, penetrating presentation of the candidates strength and weaknesses would be for each candidate to choose their own questioner, kinda like a courtroom where each side has their own lawyer. We the people would be the jury. A true moderator could be used to keep time and other rules of the “debate”.

Then he should never have agreed to any debates, ever. Everyone wanted to see Trump go down. But Trump beat them all.

Mainstream media/legacy media, however you want to term them. Not so “smart”, but plenty devious.

Fifteen members of the Mueller team wipe their phones clean. Nothing to be suspicious about.

The “Debate Commission” is Deep State BS.

Solution is simple: Trump proposes a debate with Biden, with two mods, Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, alternating questions. It’s a lose-lose for Biden, win-win for Trump.

Trump picked the best of a bad lot. Everyone thinks they can do better than Trump has. To that I say, “By all means, go show him how to do it!”

Correct. Not with the debate commission controlling it and chosing far left, Trump hating “moderators”.
That is a lose lose proposition.
Trump is much batter off doing a rally or doing a radio rally on Rush and Levin like he did yesterday. Its far more effective.

“We don’t push back. Why. Because Trump is what it looks like when you push back. Life threatening constant barrage of lies and proof the intelligence community framing you your family attacked.”

So you opt to lie down like a beaten dog and just keep on taking it quietly?

Chris Wallace is not the “best” of anything. Period.
Trump did NOT have to do an debates with never Trumpers in charge.
Whats in it for him? Nothing.
