    So, is this a good choice? I seem to recall some connection with the Clinton Global Initiative...

    Unless I am mistaken, this is NOT the first debate but something new.

    I'll never understand why Republicans continue to accept far left moderators for debates. I thought Trump might be different but apparently not.

    From the OP

    "It’s worth noting that Lauer is listed as a “notable past member” on the Clinton Global Initiative’s website — along with Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric."

    Trump will be debating Hillary and the moderator. He beat 16 other candidates I believe he can handle it.

    Easy prediction-

    Trump will say something stupid or just look stupid.....and his Cultists will blame Matt Lauer for "tricking him".

    :D

    - - - Updated - - -

    Let Glenn Beck or Mark Levin moderate the debate then.

    Relax, it is NOT a debate and they will NOT be on stage together. It's a town hall like atmosphere with both having 30 minutes, one after the other. NBC is televising it so I would expect them to provide the media folks.

    Trump can't handle one-on-one against Hillary.

    Mark Levin would do nicely but Hillary wouldn't sit for it. She has the soul of a politician which means no give all take.

    HAHAHAHAHA....keep telling yourself that. After the debates you'll pitch that he was wrong for taking it to a Woman or some other BS...misogyny and some other Liberal keywords to work up the bees.

    forums do not have the candidates address each other or appear on the same stage at the same time.

    they take questions from the Mod and audience, one at a time

    Actually, this format is BS. The candidates won't even be on the stage together, so calling it debate in nonsense. We deserve better than this. It's pathetic.

    Uh...do you know what Levin....thinks of Trump????

    :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    How many one-on-one debates did Trump have during the Primaries?

    How many one-on-one debates did Hillary have?


    ((if you can't say....dodge the questions...as usual. Thanks. :) ))

    Trump refused a 1 on 1 debate with Bernie, after first accepting it.

    he's a coward

    At the very end...it was still him, Cruz, and Kasich...and Ted and John were fighting each other as much as Trump.

    Through MOST of the GOP Primaries....there were 7-10-15 guys on stage...and Trump didn't pop his head out of the gopher-hole except to fling a personal insult...or to claim "I'll make it rain gumdrops...believe me!"

    Hillary went ONE-ON-ONE against Sanders almost every debate. And Sanders was no idiot...unlike....

    well? :)

    Yes and I know what he thinks of Hillary too. He'd be kicking both of their asses.

    That'd be fine. But Trumpsters would attack Levin as a "RINO" if he asked Trump what day it was.

    This is good news for Trump supporters. As it is the first instance of Trump and Hillary on stage together, it will receive broad attention. Any material moderator bias on this will go in Trump's favor and further boost his narrative of a corrupt media. Frankly, I don't see Lauer really having much to say in this format, so any interjections he makes that could be remotely considered partisan will likely be judged very harshly by viewers in the center.

    Same for the debates. Moderators with partisan axes should be very careful or their efforts to boost Clinton will end up counterproductive. If there is -any- single narrative that the US voter is most aware of in this election it's that the media carries water for Democrats, and that the DNC cheats for its chosen candidate over all others like they cheated Sanders. Viewers will be, for what may be the first time in US politics, watching media conduct during the debates with as much of a jaundiced eye that they evaluate candidates' statements to form an opinion on whether the "biased media" narrative is true or not. For many of these voters, the debates will be the first and only real involvement they have with the POTUS campaign. Should be interesting in any event.

    Noted and I concur - I thought at first it was going to be a debate not a beauty contest. Matt Lauer will do just fine.

    A bit off topic,but one of the comments from the link:
    "John (magnum) Queen of Yoga Emails • an hour ago

    I will watch just to see if Lyin' Crooked Cankles has another coughing fit from Huma hairballs "

    coughing fit from Huma hairballs :roflol:

    This is on the 7th,correct? Just so everybody know,the first debate is Sept 23rd.

    I'll watch this thing on the 7th,too.

    LOL!!! The debates in which Bernie did her a favor and didnt mention her email issues?

    She'll get no such treatment from Mr Trump. he'll pin her to the wall on each scandal, and who knows how many more will be in his ammo belt when the debate gets here. Seems they're daily occurances with the Clintons.


    She'll be wrecked, and mark my words..the narrative will be Trump the misogynyst who didnt treat her differently because of her gender.
