Prediction: Unless the Clinton campaign gets to Wallace or Fox News threatens him with firing unless he goes all in against Trump, Hillary will cancel the third debate due to a biased Fox News.
If Wallace, who as far as journalism goes is the best of this years moderators plays it fair, Clinton cannot win the debate.
I think she realized that she was in a debate with Trump then quickly moved on. Trump was ready to let her take Clinton’s place for a while because he was prepared for all eventualities.
The moderator looked like an ass.
Cooper is an announced homosexual. It seemed odd to me that a person who identifies himself by a perverted act would challenge Trump or anyone else about the morality of his locker room type comments!
Exactly :-)
Kind of like Baabaa Waabaa, “What kind of tree would you be”?
Nonsense.
While a talking mannequin may be novel, it's still a mannequin.
Throw in some trademark Cruz smarminess, and even that bit of novelty is Trumped.
Definitely Raddatz. She panicked. They live in such a liberal bubble, they think and differing viewpoint is just crazy.
To paraphrase someone, the media types who live in the New York/Washington axis, are different from you and me.
“Three on 1 and Trump still kicked ass.”
Dang, and I so LOVE an underdog. We will NEVER have an underdog with Trump!!! Go Trump!!!
Thank you for having the courage to go against the grain. I agree, she got some tough questions from the moderators.
I would add that this was most likely due to all the work Trump has done to persuade people, even liberals, that moderators lean so far to the left that the debates (thus far) have been stacked against him. The result last night was that they actually tried to be somewhat balanced.
Maybe a President Trump will even restore some integrity to the press corps in time, especially if they end up realizing that he’s a far better leader than Obama.
I agree. He will grill Hillary as well as Trump. And Trump's mettle (do you like the pun?) has been tempered by lib inquisitors in a way that the beest's has not been.
I’d have to say the hag. Sooper Dooper Pooper Cooper was surprisingly restrained. He must have left his cheerleader outfit at the cleaners.
They weren’t moderators. They were participants.
Radish was worse, but they both kept telling off the contestants AND the audience.
Where is Bob Barker when you need him?

Debate? What debate? I saw a lousy parody of a debate. High school debates are more balanced and professional. It was an unfair setup from the beginning. The “moderators” are all Liberal partisan hacks setting up a propaganda crossfire of “gotcha” questions designed to tear down their victim. Time limits were unfairly managed. The “moderators” are also backed up in real time by a second rank of “fact checkers”. What individual candidate standing in a podium by himself has a fair chance of debate? After the debate is over, spin doctors tell us what we saw. It looks more like a public stoning than a debate.
Both candidates were a disappointment. Lots of name calling, smirking, mud slinging, accusations and lies. Very little substance and details. Not much time for that, and anyway most voters are not that sophisticated or have the attention span to absorb details. Questions from audience were brainless.
All Trump needed was to explain to the undecided voters that this election is a night-and-day choice between two opposed political philosophies and highlight a few major contrasting points about one.
Partisan views are likely unchanged. The undecided voters saw nothing new, nothing intelligent, nothing but political theater, to help them out - but they are probably a lost cause anyway. Modern advertising ought to be proof of that.
Was that sexist?
Raddatz for sure. Cooper got all the straight man lines in whatever script they had worked out with the HRC camp, with Ugly Martha playing advocate.
