    His staff is correctly reminding them that that is NOT their job, that is the job of those watching. It is Hillary asking for special treatment and that the moderators act like Candy Crowley and protect her from Trump. That is NOT their role.

    Not his job, he is to moderate not judge. If Hillary can't take the heat then don't go into the kitchen.

    And BTW were he to adopt that role then his main concern would be keeping Clinton honest and forthright not Trump. Why do you think her campaign have suddenly adopted this uncalled for and unprecedented demand that the moderator be on her side. Because they are so scare that HER lies and deceits will become subject of the debate and I expect Trump to bring them out since they deal with her OFFICAL acts as a government official and the carrying out of the public trust. And of course if she goes into his real estate deals she has her own history of lying and deceit there too.

    By whom? Who will fact check the fact checkers then?

    Oh, please.

    Get off it.

    Hillary is not asking for special treatment...nor does she need to be protected from Donald Trump. Fact is, she probably hopes the dolt attacks her. It would be playing into her hands.

    Do you really want to get into a pissing contest about whose candidate is more truthful? Really? LOL

    http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/24/us/elections/donald-trump-statements.html

    The above articles? With the exception of the article from the Washington Post, the rest of these are just from this week. And they are not left wing rags, either, like the right's Newsmax or Breitbart.

    Politico Magazine's team analyzed every statement made by both Trump and Clinton for five days and said "the conclusion is inescapable: Trump's mishandling of facts and propensity for exaggeration so greatly exceed Clinton's as to make the comparison almost ludicrous."

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...ing-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-truth-o-met/ is where you can find the scorecards of Clinton's lies versus Trump's (and yes, Politifact is a non-partisan website, before you call it a left-wing hit piece).

    ROFL she MOST CERTAINLY is asking for special treatment and special protection and she is expecting to be treated with kid gloves because she is so vulnerable to being upset. Remember the Lazio debate where he merely walked near her and she fell apart screaming about what a sexist he is and how mistreated she was? Oh BOO-HOO and now she wants the moderator go after her opponent for her.

    Sure, to whom at the Department of State did she submit her shadow email server to for approval and who in the legal counsel's office approved it?

    I could care less about asserted "lies" about what he had for breakfast or exaggerations. I care about official acts by government officials who are using their position of the public trust to enrich themselves and endangering our national security in the process. Trump doesn't even come close to the history of the Clintons and their public corruption and lies and coverups.

    And how exactly did those Rose Law Firm billing records end up in her private residence with her fingerprints all over them when she denied having them even though they were under subpoena?

    The moderator cannot help Clinton with a "fact check". Voters no longer consider the MSM credible - especially with regard to political reporting.

    And then there is NBC News - how did Lester Holt get get his job? Do you suppose Trump knows? ;-)

    Hillary can take care of herself very adequately...and your distortion of what is happening is hilarious.

    Go with it if it makes you feel good.

    Insulating yourself from the fact that Trump lies and just makes stuff up.

    Who gave Dick Cheney and Karl Rove approval to conduct thier government business on private servers?

    You do know that the Clintons are both infamous liars - right? Obvious late election cycle campaign slander will not convince many voters that Trump is a liar. It just calls more attention to Clinton dishonesty.

    You got that backwards. It is the Clinton campaign asking for special treatment. They're afraid Trump will be treated by different standard so they're asking the moderators to treat him using a different standard. They want the Candy Crowley standard which, of course, was a disaster.

    Dodge noted try again and political business with the RNC is not allowed under the law to be conducted on government servers and are ENTIRELY private matters not subject to FOIA or Congressional oversight. Had Rove used the government servers for political business THEN the law would have been violated and THEN those emails would have been subject to archiving laws.

    So enough of the canards, neither of them is running for office, try again.

    She stated to the public and to Congress that her shadow server had been approved for use and met all the rules and regulations AT THE TIME. To whom at the Department of State did she submit her shadow email server to for approval and who in the legal counsel's office approved it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh like she did when Lazio merely walked across the stage to her and she wet her panties and whined and complained for weeks about being mistreated. I HOPE Trump does the very same so the people can see how she can't handle and falls apart.

    That is what she is doing. If Holt is foolish enough to do that Trump will be in a position to knock out the Clintons and the MSM with one hard counter punch. MSM political bias and fraudulent reporting has been over exposed for so long that the industry is clinging to the last shreds of its remaining credibility.

    Do they really want to lose all their clout right before Trump takes over the White House? ;-)

    Trust me - they get that part. They just pretend they don't. ;-)

    What they do not get is what will happen if they convince or coerce Holt to attempt a "fact check".

    This thread, including the OP and especially the title, is the type of deception that is going to ensure Trump's victory. If you read the OP, there is no video or actual Trump quote where the Trump has humbled himself to "begging" as the title suggests, only an article with an equally dishonest title and equal lack of substantiating text. If you actually take the time to read the entire OP of this thread, then take the link to the deceptive article, and then watch the video that is presented, there is still no trace of the mighty Trump humbling himself in pitiful begging as the title of this thread suggests. While lefty voter knowledge may be confined to what the lefty media presents to them, not even lefty voters are going to buy what the title of this thread is suggesting. The die hard lefties who clicked "like" for the OP have openly expressed that they are fine with using deception to help their lefty cause, since none of them are able to produce any substantiating evidence to back up the title of this thread either, yet they "like" the thread anyway.

    This same deception is what the lefty media has been using to assist Hillary, but it is not working anymore. The lefty media reports only "good for Hillary" or "bad for Trump" stories, while burying any "good for Trump" or "bad for Hillary" stories, but our country as a whole is getting wise to the deceptions of lefty media bias and outrageously deceptive posts like this on. This thread is downright shameful, and those who actually clicked "like" should be ashamed to be openly endorsing such gross deception. Your lack of shame can only help Trump.

    Ahhh, Rick Lazio. The guy she beat to a pulp in the election!

    Yeah...she was really frightened!

    C'mon. Wake up and join the real world, Guy.


    You hope that Trump does the same thing that Lazio did????

    The guy she thoroughly trounced in the election?

    Jeez!

    Good grief, y'all need to get new material. Is the email scandal going to be to Hillary like the birther scandal is for Obama? She has been cleared by the FBI. No amount of whining about it is going to change anything. She was cleared. I would go through all the lies and scandals that Trump has been involved in and try to verify that he had been cleared by, but there isn't enough bandwidth on the internet to compile a search large enough to cover his lies and scandals.

    Here is a report on Trump and his misuse of Trump Foundation money.

    http://www.usnews.com/opinion/artic...foundation-scam-pays-with-other-peoples-money

    Here is a report on the Clinton Foundation and how it uses its money.

    https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478

    Oh yeeaahhh, Whitewater LOL. Just something else that they were cleared of that y'all can't leave alone.

    Maybe instead of beating those dead horses, y'all should latch on to the scandals that she has that will get her in real trouble. Oh never mind. There aren't any. :lol:

    So are the debate commissioners.

    They are moderators and they are not their to play Candy Crowley's version of Devil's (Obama's) Advocate.

    Stupid fact checking is nothing but liberals opinionating and putting liberal spin and turning
    truth into lies to benefit the Democrats and Crooked Hillary.

    Yes because he merely walked over to her in the debate and it so upset her that the MSM attacked him and would not let up and engaged with the campaign to defeat him.

    You are making my point here.

    So if she couldn't handle Lazio how is she going to handle Trump without falling apart?

    The electorate made the decision...and IT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE.

    Get a clue, Guy.

    Nice try. Get that in Internet discussions 101?

    The point I am making is so far away from YOUR point, they might as well be in separate universes.

    Earth calling GUY; Earth calling GUY.

    She handled him. Beat the snot out of him. Defeated him in a run-away.

    Jeez...c'mon.

    The problem though is on Holt's end of things. If he doesn't Candy Crowley for Hillary then the entire leftist machinery will do its very best to destroy his career starting tomorrow morning. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

    Get rid of the moderators. Let the candidates stand on their own 2 feet (Hilary can lean on the podium if she gets delirious again).
