questions. That is not good! I perceive that, with that kind of assistance, the deck is stacked against Hillary. Damn. just damn!

(11,001 posts)Todd and Brian Williams are cut from the same cloth. It is my hope that Lester Holt is a more independent. Yes, when things are fair, she will clean his clock and hand him hi #$@ on blue platter. We kno, however, that republicans have never played fair in anything!

Why so much concern about her debate skills and abilities?
The fact of the matter is she will be prepared for any and all questions thrown her way and will answer them intelligently. If after the debate is over the media calls it for Trump (which I think is likely in regards to 24 hour cable "news" , we and she have no control over that. But anyone with a functioning brain stem will she the clear difference the two candidates.

That said, the take away from this debate will most likely be the appaling lack of imagination that will be displayed by the questions posed by Mr Holt and the even more-appalling lack of knowledge that will be displayed by the Otangutan.
Seriously, I don't know how Hillary deals with the intellectual abuse coming from these knuckle draggers. I imagine it's akin to what Neil Degrasse Tyson experiences when he debates the origins of the universe with a fundamentalist Xian.

(16,399 posts)Chuck Todd is a policy wonk. Trump is a fucking idiot. Hillary knows her stuff. Todd's questions will not be bullshit that has nothing to do with being President. When we get down to the issues Hillary wins every time.

How would they know that Toad is helping Lester and besides Lester is smarter than being steared by Toad.
