Quote:"The debates are rigged."   That's ridiculous.   All Lester Holt did was throw out a question and give the candidates 2 minutes to talk.  They could basically say anything they wanted.   The fact was, Trump was so unprepared for that debate, he didn't know how to take a question, give a brief answer,  and then PIVOT into his favorite talking points.  

 

Cyber Security:  "Cyber Security from a woman who says she used a private email server because she didn't know any better!"  << Like that.

 

Or the question about judgment:  Take the question of judgment and make it all about the judgment of a Secretary of State who allows her husband to solicit donations and take speaking fees from people with business at the State Department.   How's that for judgment?   << Like that. 

 

He had every chance to talk about anything he wanted to talk about, but he allowed her to bait him into spending his time defending himself.  

 

The debate wasn't rigged.   He got a beat down mainly because of a complete lack of preparation. 

 

And what does it say about a person's judgment who doesn't prepare for the biggest moment of their life?   << see how I did that?  

 

Actually I disagree with the COMPLETE LACK OF PREPARATION.  This is the first time that he has had to debate a Democrat.  In all the other debates When the moderator was hostile they were generally hostile to all the GOP candidates. 

 

When the biggest criticism of the candidate is that he spent too much time answering the questions he was asked then I don't look at that as a lack of preparation, I look at that as a general lack of experience. 

 

Not to mention the fact that this is the first time that anyone has debated a female candidate for president one on one.  Trump's opening line he literally asked Secretary Clinton how she would like to be addressed. 

 

I This that Trump was actually prepared to answer the questions asked of him, he wasn't prepared to essentially be the moderator.  Not to mention, this was the first time I had seen this particular debate format.
