Imagine being stuck in an elevator with any of these people.

I’m guessing that offering Lauer as the moderator was the only way both candidates would agree to show. This should have gone to either Maddow or Chuck Todd. Giving it to the host of the Today Show is pretty baffling. There is no way Trump would ever agree to be interviewed by Rachel Maddow——and military history is…

Because Rachel would eviscerate Trump and not treat him with the kid gloves a flesh suit like Lauer will.

She wasn’t smiling because there was nothing funny or joyful happening. What the absolute fuck. I’m sorry, you know, I’m not even really a Clinton fan and I really don’t jump to her defense at every occasion, but this is some sexist fucking bullshit. This is a woman who has held some of the highest offices and…

They are ALL partisan. Do you think Megyn Kelly is less so? I guess I don’t put Maddow in a different category than the rest simply because she doesn’t insult her viewers with a facade of false fairness, that ridiculous compulsion to present both sides as equal. I think she’s incredibly fair and magnanimous with her…

Welp. If I didn’t feel like a failure before, I sure feel like one now!

You’re comparing Maddow to Sean Hannity.

I think you’re being naive if you would trust her to host that forum in an even handed fashion

Not just Maddow. They could have chosen Chuck Todd or Andrea Mitchell or Jose Diaz-Balart or Kate Snow or even Jim Miklaszewski. They had PLENTY of people to choose from.

Because Maddow is a woman! Trump would immediately point out her gender and *gasp* orientation. Plus, she probably already knew that the military has a court system. And if she called Trump out on that, it would be the old liberal media doing a hatchet job on a true patriot

I can 100% guarantee there is no way Trump would sign on to the forum if she was the one doing the interview. Not only would he know he’d be held accountable, but worse- the accountability check would be done by a gay woman. It would never ever happen.

Clinton points out that Trump is literally advocating that we go plunder and pillage other nations for their national resources - like goddamn medieval Vikings - and how that’s probably a bad idea, and Reince Priebus complains that she didn’t smile enough.

Why on earth would they go with fucking Lauer for the forum when they have Maddow? Matt Lauer is an idiot.

But I don’t take my advice and I don’t take anything seriously that comes from the RNC.

Is there any journalist IN THE WORLD who will point out to Trump in person that while he is saying a lot of words he is not actually saying anything? I mean besides Jon Stewart, who is not technically a journalist.

It just amazes me that he’s being treated as a serious candidate by anyone in the electorate. He’s clearly incompetent, has no policy positions, and is a pathological liar. And yet he is a serious contender for the presidency.

Man, it’s about time. also fuck you preibus. That comment is the political equivalent of cheap catcalling women are subjected to on a daily basis. Your candidate looks like a toad whether he is smiling or not.

How stupid do you have to be to think Trump would support the troops in any way. The guy would just go ‘Third World Dictator’ and make himself ‘Five Star Generalissimo Trump’ and go round wearing medals he never earnt.

It reeks of Frances Bean Cobain and “that guy”

I see Paris Jackson is going to be making good lifelong decisions like her daddy.
