Matt Lauer gave the debate win to Trump

[UCmeNdc]

Matt Lauer made Trump the winner of the debate. His questions to Clinton made her look defensive compared to his questions to Trump. Trump could weasel and redirect his answers because Lauer asked softball, broad, general questions to Trump with no specific follow up.

Lauer tried to nail Clinton with follow up after follow up on the same question even after she gave her complete answer. I do not understand what Lauer thought he was accomplishing.

Lauer made Trump look good.

1. Polls are out already on who won the debate?

The only thing you forgot was the link.

2. This wasn't a debate and no Trump didn't win

Clinton was really good in the so-called interview.

4. Trump looked good to you?

5. Trump didn't look good

He looked grossly incompetent.

6. This was not a debate and Trump looked like an incoherent ass.

He was the male version of Sarah Palin...word salad. Even the ass kissing media could not make him look good...and certainly not qualified to be commander in chief...a failed businessman, a liar and a conman.

7. Trump didn't know squat

He sounded like any other clown who watches too much Fox News.
But he's got plans. And plans to make plans.
Take their oil. Turn their land to glass.
A regular armchair commander without a clue.

8. The Lauer treatment

Is what I expect in all 3 debates.
Every single moderator will allow the maggot to get away with it. You watch.

9. I thought Hillary KILLED it, and Trump looked like a buffoon.

I can't understand how anyone could see it any other way.

Sure, Lauer TRIED to nail Clinton, but she handled with grace and professionalism.

And he didn't press Trump on obvious lies, either, but Trump STILL managed to dig himself into a hole.

He expressed his admiration for an authoritarian, insulted the entire high command of the military, and lied, lied, lied. And somehow it was "tie," or Trump even "won"? I don't fucking think so.
