With a week to go until Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and rival Hillary Clinton face off for their first highly anticipated debate, the Commission on Presidential Debates has formally invited the two candidates to New York.
But some Trump supporters are worried that the so-called “unbiased” commission could end up bending the rules in favor of Clinton.
Turns out, the debate rules commission is filled with Clinton supporters and donors — and lacks a single Trump backer.
That’s according to LifeZette, which reported Saturday that an adviser to Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Kevin Zeese, told them the presence of these donors and insider cronies are evidence of a conspiracy to rig the electoral system against unwanted anti-establishment alternatives like Stein or Trump, who Zeese identified as the “outsider candidate”.
“And the fact that Clinton scooped up all of the contributions made by commission members this year fits with the fact that she has won support not only from her own party but many Establishment figures in the Republican Party, as well,” LifeZette wrote.
Commission board members Antonia Hernandez, Richard Parsons, and Shirley Tilghman have all publicly backed Clinton — Hernadez and Parsons so intensely that they each gave the maximum individual donations permissible by law to her campaign, $2,700. Commission Co-Chairman Michael McCurry donated to the Clinton campaign — which he also did during her U.S. Senate runs. McCurry was the White House press secretary under former President Bill Clinton.
No one among the commission similarly backs Trump; a few members of the committee, such as Co-Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf, have donated to establishment GOP candidates in the past, but none of them have given a single penny to the current Republican candidate.
This total lack of Trump support is alarming for his supporters.
They may have a point.
After all, can a board room filled with feverish Clinton supporters and zero Trump backers really be called nonpartisan?
If not, it’s fair to ask — could their presence be setting up Trump for failure?
The commission, established in 1987, is responsible for setting the terms and rules for the presidential debates, as well as the threshold for which third-party candidates can appear onto the debate stages.
The commission’s recent ruling that moderators for the first debate will be allowed to wear earpieces to communicate with executives garnered controversy, for fear the moderators will be coached by power brokers.
But with less than a week to go before the face-off, if these Clinton backers are indeed setting the table for a Trump ambush like some of his supporters fear, it could be too late to stop them.

Hondo says
It’s going to BACKFIRE on them….just wait and see!
The light will surely shine and the dark place be made known!
Jo Lee says
Sure hope so. That is totally not fair. ONCE A CROOK ALWAYS A CROOK. KILLARY NEEDS TO HAVE ANOTHER ATTACK OF SOME KIND THAT SHE IS SEEN SUFFERING FROM HEALTH PROBLEMS.
GOD BLESS TRUMP. HELP HIM TO ANSWER THE QUESTION TO PLEASE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS. LET KILLARY FLUBBER IN FRONT HER SUPPORTORS. DOWN WITH CROOKED KILLARY.
JOHN says
Lets have Trump with an earpiece that picks up what she is going to say and he can come out and say the answer just before she does and ask her if that the answer they are telling you to give. Then take away the earpieces in public and put an audio blocker in the room so no transmissions can be put out to her in case she has one hidden in her clothes or wig
Ron says
Love that idea!!!
Inspector Tom says
or have someone that can scan/monitor the frequencies and if they detect them put on a PA system as it is happening, I would prefer to hear what the candidate’s thoughts to a question is not someone’s that may be on the other side on the world
Catlady says
Can the people insist there are no ear connections. Candidates answer their own questions, their own words.?
Constitutionalist says
JOHN-
Great idea!
Mine was to have Trump supporters bring jamming equipment that would make The Liar’s earpiece scream like death, so that she could be exposed publicly, humiliated and shamed before the nation, for trying to cheat.
Can you imagine? She’s asked a question, she babbles a bit, then screams in harmony with the screaming in her ear, instead of the answers she was hoping for, maybe even falls to the floor? Broadcast live, nationwide?
The Old Battleship would have been justly torpedoed.
Robert Early says
JUST ONE LITTLE CAUGH, AND HILLARY IS DONE. God knows what He is doing.
RETIRED says
Trump should be able to pick his commentators to ask Hillary her questions.
Hillary should or already has picked her commentators to ask all the questions?????
Trump will crush Hillary if the (correct questions are asked of her) there should be no word games in the debate at all, just honest good questions not worded to help out Hillary from all the scandals……..
Inspector Tom says
If this is to be a ‘Debate’ should both candidates be ask the exact same question? So we can see how they answer the question…. or I guess that me just being stupid …again
Ladd says
This is not a surprise! But Trump can win, because SHE won’t be able to match him in any way, and even going “lightly” on her won’t get her through a serious debate. She will fail, it is he Karma and Destiny to do so. NOW is the time she will show her colors with no option to hide anymore, even with her donors helping her. They CANNOT work Trump over without it becoming obvious to EVERYONE, and Trump IS strong. Hillary will be shown up for the dithering incompetent that she is, even though they probably WILL have her fixed with an earwig too! Just watch closely, I am sure she will have a hair style that hides at least one ear — but WE ALREADY KNOW.
db says
You can well bet that the HRC debate team is at a full frenzy working the questions to submit and have HRC already programmed to answer those questions. To be fair, which of course they will not be. fifty percent of the questions should be from each side, or the same question asked to both of them in an alternating sequence, first HRC then Trump, then Trump then Hillary.
fighterforfreedom says
All Trump has to do is ask the debate monitor to ask the same question to Killary and then , on public media camera coverage, simply make it known to the public that the dice are loaded – there are many ways to redirect duress. Trump is waiting like a mongoose for the cobra to show up and disassemble her. If she starts coughing, recommend Trump ask her if she needs a real emergency room.
JOHN says
When she went to her daughters apartment on 9/11 I wonder who walked out in such high spirits and with no body guards or others around her in case she tripped again. That little girl had no problem getting to her
Carmine Sarno says
Maybe the first thing Mr. Trump needs to ask before the debate starts is if Hillary is wearing an ear piece, because he agreed to debate her not her supporters. If she answers questions that are the same as questions asked of Mr. Trump and if they get to ask each other questions, then I think he will bury her.
FRED says
YOU ARE RIGHT TRUMP HAS THE LORD ON HIS SIDE HE WILL PREVAIL IN THE END !!!!!
THE LORD GOD HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THESE CROOKED BASTARDS !!!!!!!
Charles Masterson says
I am praying for TRUMP TO HAVE ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS !!!
Dr. Mary Sandra Todora says
I would check crooked Hillary for ear mics, she has cheated in past, she will do so now. We will know if it is rigged by questions asked. Hillary will know her questions before hand like she did in bengazhi hearings. Why people vote for her is beyond me. Also please watch for voter fraud out there. She wantsThis so badly she will sell her grandchildren
tom says
Look at the first commentator for the debates, Lester Holt, a person who has been on Hillary’s bandwagon since day one. Donald was able to say yes or no on any of the people selected to moderate. It is like Daniel walking into the Lions den. Trump will be solid in the debate and illAry is the one with sh*t in her pants. Yesterday she was touting her being the only candidate with foreign policy experience, Really you allowing another 650 000 muslim refugees into this country you are not going to need a President with foreign policy as they all will be here.
robert lionberger says
even the reviews today are hitting at Trump and letting The hill go free she’s a woman go easy on her
Lori says
We all know they are setting up an ambush. This whole election has been that way so no surprise there. Trump can hold his own he will do great. I just wonder how on live TV she is going to be able to stand for 90 minutes without falling over or having a coughing fit. Or will the liberal biased media cut a coughing fit out like they have cut out some of her other mishaps and slip ups? i am so glad that it appears finally people are starting to see what is really going on here and that the media is beyond corrupt.
JOHN says
After the question is answered by Hillary or Trump the other, instead of putting in their rebuttle, sould be allowed to ask the other a question pertaining to what they said as their answer.
pastriesqueen says
How Hillary is going to be able to debate for 90 minutes: a double-bodied Hillary with an earpiece.
Robert Hagedorn says
@Lori: Codeine will stop her coughing for 90 minutes. But the drug will affect her behavior, at least to some extent. If she doesn’t take codeine, she may start coughing, or, even if she doesn’t start, she will be preoccupied with the fear of a coughing fit starting. I don’t see how she can get through three debates for four and a half hours of total debate time without something negative happening with her behavior.
Robert Early says
I still think there is about a 60 %
chance that Hillary will come up with some excuse to cancel at the last minute. On the other hand, if it can be made clear that the fix is in and obvious, then Trump can walk away at zero fault. Let the media hang themselves.
bill gumpper says
I figured something like this was going to happen. They will control the questions and make sure Hillaqry is not asked any questions that would make her look bad
Shell says
Sh
OracleGuy says
The they’ll have to control the questions posed to L’il Lyin’ Donnie too. He doesn’t really need to prepare because he has no plans for anything anyway, he just wants to call Hillary names to her face like the playrgound bully he is..
pastriesqueen says
oracle, you must have been on Mars the last month as you missed all his policies. Hillary is the one who has no policies. Where does she stand on national security? Oh yeah, she has one: wide opened borders and 550% increase in syrian refugees.
Can you take them into your home?
Hanko American says
OH NO! OragelMan is once again making his stupid self known! Trouble is, making an ass of himself is very amusing but getting old. PISS-OFF!
liberty49 says
Yes, with prayer we can shine the light on this plan. Maybe Trump should hold a debate with Gary Johnson and the green party candidate and not invite Hillary.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
That would make a much better debate without that damned POS white trash Facist,communist,racist,bigoted,greedy,power hungry,egotist,
rude,snotty,bossy,bullying,murderous,lying,stealing,cheating,tax exempt,laws exempt,arrogant B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton(HKRAKC), a lest Libertarian Gary Johnson & Green Party Jill Stein will have more exposure, the field will be a lot more level, there will be a lot more fairness which the Demoncrats, the pro Clinton media & HKRAKC don’t want at all, it will hurt HKRAKC the most, and it would serve her right for all of the hurt, pain,stress,strain & agravation that she causes on purpose & for her own fun & enjoyment.
yeiayel says
Great idea and she will be insanely angry as she falls from her “entitled” throne
John G . says
All of her behind the scenes nefarious dealings won’t matter – she’ll lose the debates as well as the election.
Down to defeat you arrogant, overbearing, ill prepared do nothing clone of O’bozo.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
John G. That is very true, Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton(HKRAKC) will lose the debate like you said, but the election as well. If I were the owner of a chain of rock music stations in all 50 states, the 4 territories & the nation capital, I would have the Rolling Stones song called When the walls start tumbling down standing by, ready to be played the day after Election Day and after every debate.
It would be the most perfect song to play. Ever since 1800, the taller of the candadates for President/Figurehead has alway won the election, except for 1804,1808 when James Madison who was our shortest President won those election, and 1824 when John Quincy Adams was elected, that was the election that Andrew Jackson was cheated out of. Donald J. Trump one running for office, the Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Darrel Cassel, and HKRAKC is the shortest of all the candadates running for Figurehead, so she loses. Donald J. Trump-Michael Pence all the way.
OracleGuy says
C S O’Rourke, what are you going to do with your time after Trump is buried by the woman to whom you have assigned the not really cute name? You’ll have to find something else to shout about. Hate her or not, she will make mincemeat of the egotistical bigot.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Oracle Guy, I plan to get out of the country if your damned POS white trash bigoted B@¥CH girl friend Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton is our nations next Figurehead. The only way she’ll get in is by her best supporters, the non voters who constantly complain and people like you. I ended up in the damned SH@THOLE LOSER CITY TUCONS metro area eczuse of the military base closures that HKRAKC’s communist,draft dodger, Sleazeball husband former Figurehead Bill Clinton who invented the government shutdown. You best better hope that I have everything I’m selling in the damned SH@THOLE LOSER CITY TUCSON Metro area all sold and that I get the price I want. The SH@THOLE LOSER CITY TUCSON metro area is the sob story Capital of the universe, the cheapskate capital of the universe, the excuse capital of the universe. Many employers left Loser City Tucson, Tucson doesn’t want money, it wants to become the poorest city in the nation. The damned POS white trash, racist,communist Clinton’s are why I have quit being a Democrat, the Clinton’s have stabbed the Veterans in the back, they stabbed the senior citizens in the back, they stabbed the Working Class & Working Poor people in the back, they act like there is no such thing as a Working Class & Working Poor and the Clinton’s have stabbed Labor Unions in the back. Senior Citizens & Veterans are NO CLASS CITIZENS in our own country because of the damned NON VOTERS who always complain, but never voted at all for NO REASOn, and will never vote at all for NO REASON, and people like you who voted for people like the Damned POS white trash bigoted racist communist Clinton’s.
Robert Taylor says
With all these firsts what can Clinton do for herself if she is going to follow in Obama’s footsteps?
Here is a list of his impressive ? accomplishments:
1. First President to be photographed smoking a joint.
2. First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.
3. First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.
4. First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.
5. First President to violate the War Powers Act.
6. First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
7. First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party.
8. First President to spend a trillion dollars on “shovel-ready” jobs when there was no such thing as “shovel-ready” jobs.
9. First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.
10. First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.
11. First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S., including those with criminal convictions.
12. First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.
13. First President to tell a CEO of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign.
14. First President to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space.
15. First President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say that America is no longer a Christian nation.
16. First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.
17. First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.
Susan says
Even if as Hondo believes the whole affair will backfire, who will doubt this was a joke for a debate with dem wit dems running the show? Go Trump and do your best. The dems have to stack the deck or Hillary will not know or be prompted correctly. I and anyone who does not like to see the dem wit dem at any level as in Hillary or BO will not be watching. There is nothing after eight years of hell that they can say to convince me that they give a damn about any legal citizen or that they are not using the illegal aliens and visa holders for their total manipulation. All of the dems, every last one, are TRAITORS to this country and the legal constituents of this country. Go Trump.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Susan, you said it absolutely very true. I quit being a Democrat in 1992 when those damned POS white trash, racist,communist,bigoted, rude,arrogant,snotty,egotistical,greedy,lying,cheating,stealing,bossy, bullying, murderous Clinton’s stole what is now the Demoncratic party, fixed & rigged the 1992 & 1996 Figurehead elections, the Clinton’s invented the government shutdown, have weakened our Navy & nations defense. We barely have a Pacifc fleet in our Navy, and there were military base closures left & right going on in the states of CA,OR,WA,AK,CO,FL,TX,NJ,PA,IN,IL,NY,MA,RI,OK, the majority of those states voted for former Figurehead Clinton and military base closures in those states were his thanks to them for voting him in. My vote on November 8, 2016 is for Donald J. Trump. The nation doesn’t need those damned POS white trash racist bigoted Clinton’s in the White House. I’m a Veteran & a Senior Citizen, thanks to the Clinton’s, Senior Citizens,our military & their dependents, and Veterans are now NO CLASS CITIZENS, illegals from Iran, the PLO, Syria & the garbage from Mexico are treated like royalty, they have rights and can do anything they want, but we can’t.

What is new with the Clintons?They are the most corrupted couple, they are worse than Bonny & Clide I hope Mr.Trump nails her ass to the wall

What else can one expect, look at Obama, Loretta Lynch, Comey the so called FBI leader, Kerry, Slick willy nothing seems to stick to the Clintons, The only thing that will stick is when Trump/Pence are president and vice president in 2016—2024, then the shit will really hit the fan…. No pardons, no amnesty time to clean up the corruption in Washington D.C. and break the house of cards……
Trump/Pence will do this while making america #1 again…
Sharon says
Watch fox news , its the only one that will show it all. Megan kelly , I hope will be no where in sight ! She is a lieing no good comentator. Trump /Pence 2016….
Betty L. Smith says
I’m hoping Clinton won’t get Trump riled up and he will say something he shouldn’t. The election is already rigged, and there isn’t anything Trump can do about it. The Republicans who are against him should understand if they don’t get behind their candidate, she will win. Of course I do believe those that don’t back him are behind Clinton,(of course they don’t want you to know this,) and hope she will get in so their gravy train won’t stop for them. The moderators will hound him like Kelly, Wallace and Baer did in the Primary debates. They went out of their way to attack him. Fox News is suppose to be fair and balanced, but I’ve noticed lately the anchors aren’t saying anything good about Trump. To many liberals. Let’s hope these debates don’t turn out like it did with Obama and Romney when Candy Crowley took Obama’s side and lied. That was the down fall for Romney. He should have won that election. Being a native of Florida where the voting is always rigged, I’m hoping this time a Republican can win here.
Ladd says
She CANNOT. Trump has been deliberately prodding adversaries to get movement and reactions out of them, it was a way to break through their placid exteriors, to show them up. Now he will stay to the course and simply overwhelm Hillary with his common sense and innate honesty. THAT she has NO ANSWER for. No matter what they try, Hi8llary cannot hide from THIS SPOTLIGHT, and we WILL be WATCHING….
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Betty, don’t forget the whinny,coddled,spoiled brat, constantly complaining,fault finding,finger pointing NON VOTERS that have never, ever voted at all in their lives for NO REASON, but do 99 9/10% of the constant complaining in public are Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton’s best supporters who fixe & rig the elections by not voting at all for NO REASON. All NON VOTERS need to either register & vote or keep their damned mouths shut, NON VOTERS have NO RIGHT to the FREEDOM OF SPEECH IF THEY DON’T VOTE AT ALL FOR NO REASON.
Justin W says
Hillary Clinton is corrupt. She and her husband will do anything to give her an unfair advantage in the election. The Clintons know that Hillary would be unable to win in a fair contest. She is a liar. She is incompetent. Her time as secretary of state was a collection of failures.
At least we know that the commission members are not the fair, impartial observers they would want people to think they are. The commission members are nothing but a bunch of partisan hacks who are part of the Hillary campaign.

What s on earth did we as citizen do to deserve this kind of attitude when we go traveling out of usA ?
We ll not be surprised if people tell us right on our face that your president is
Not worth a bean. And ask did you vote for hillary ?? Just like the question did you vote for Obama
That I do not recall how many time in the past I have to say no I did not
JOHN says
All those voters that voted for Obama when asked how they feel now about him just walk away from me with no reply.
OracleGuy says
Dubya had the entire world exasperated by our stupidity and reckless actions. It took Obama 8 years to get the rest of the world to see that we aren’t a bunch on mindless brats after all. Now if Congress would just start paying off the bill for the unfunded prescription program and the $Trillion Dubya vs Saddam war.

Hope she f___s up big time with the easy peasy questions she will be asked

I pray they will be found out & it all back fires on them. It almost sounds like the mafia, doesn’t it.
Thomas F. says
Where is the RNC in all this?? Can’t ANYBODY step up and expose this set up so Trump can have a fair chance, and that’s all he needs to swipe the floor with Hillary.
Ladd says
The3 RNC is e3stablishment. THEY ALL want Trump to fail so that they can keep their “gravy train” running — They are nearly as bad as Hillary, so no help there. They already have showed THEIR colors too. TOO( many RINOS who need to be expunged.
Doris lauter says
I was wondering that. It is a set up and not fair. I wonder if Trump should refuse to participate until they get a fair and balanced moderator. All have contributed to Clinton, so they will do their best to elect her on that stage. Trump will have no rights as soon as he gets on that stage. He doesn’t need this anyway, He gets plenty of publicity, and speak on his own terms.
James Hines says
Let”s pray Trump becomes our President!!! Because it seems at the higher level, we have a government that is: of the Government…by the Government…and for the Government!!!!
Silent Hammer says
This is standard fare for Liberal party members and media. STANDARD FARE. Romney was set up by “Canned” Crowley when Romney accused Obama bin Laden of failing to call terrorism by its real name. They had the “tape ready” for this occurrence. (I’m not so sure the establishment Republicans — including Romney — weren’t in on it, either. You know, keep the status quo as long as I’m making LOTS of money in it). So, this is no secret, and as “Hondo” replied, it’ll blow up in their faces. Trump’s too good to let this crap land on him. And we’re all tired of the status wuo. Look where it’s gotten us!
Lal says
God Bless America!!!!!!! Pray voters!!
lizaz says
Not surprising….clintons use their “foundation charity” money to further their ambitions to get the WH again and money can buy just about everyone……except Trump……..The way clinton looks, she may not last until Nov 8…saw her on TV this morning and she really looks sick…same yesterday. She doesn’t have the stamina like Trump says…..who wants a president who rules from her bed???
JOHN says
That is an easy answer, THE PIMPS
Rosech says
Never forget Soros is counseling and supporting Hillary and owns most of MSM in one way or another. So, don’t expect niceties like honesty, equality, justice or anything else from the democrats because they are desperate to have our OUTSIDER beat the heck out of her and them. We should definitely have Trump with an earpiece as well, and like democrats avoid a direct answer to a question and state what really needs to said as an answer. Democrats never win without cheating, so let’s use a little cheating on them, Trump!
Hondo says
No Rosech, never cheat, always be honest and truthful lest you be found to be a liar also.
Be yourself always wherever you go and stay the course with truth!
Peace
twykes says
Agree with inspector tom.

YES, Hondo – Trump has gone a long way with truth telling. Let’s just wait and watch … he is on a negotiating stage of his life!!!

grover syck says
The article is a combination of Trump lies, propaganda and right wing elephant crap.
If there is any “rigging” it will be form the right,not the left.
Trump has been manufacturing excuses from the first day the debates were discussed.
Hanko American says
Hey grover-the-syck–Are you & OragelGuy married or what!?! Both of you must have crawled out of the same septic tank! (at the same time, no less!) TRUMP must win to keep America from going down the toilet where you idiots crawled out of!! A vote for TRUMP for president is a vote for freedom!!
Politically incorrect says
On the debate each candidate is asked the same questions and have a certain amount of time to answer then they debate their answers. If this is done properly then the moderators will be asking their own questions not the commission but I am sure the questions have to be approved first. With that said then I think it would be in the best interest for Trump to make an open statement that he will do the debate but let it be known that the majority of the commission have donated to support Hillary so the questions could favor he and give a website where people can look and see who donated to the Clinton campaign.
As long as he don’t storm off the stage or go ballistic on stage I think if he acts the way he has this past month he will come out a winner.
pastriesqueen says
In addition to asking each candidate the same question, put 1 in a soundproof booth while the other one answers like how Miss America does it.
Rocketman says
Got a NEWSFLASH for everyone. The reason that Johnson wasn’t allowed in the debate is because of the R’s and D’s collusion in rigging the wording in the polls so that Johnson couldn’t make the 15% requirement as set by the biased Debate commission. The fix is ALREADY in place EVEN THOUGH 62% OF THE POPULATION WANT A THIRD PARTY ALTERNATIVE to Trump and Hillary.
Claudette says
What the hell is wrong with the Republicans – absolutely no support for Trump – very very shameful !!!!
I really feel sorry for him – USA NEEDS A MAN LIKE HIM TO FIX THINGS – he is a very smart man & healthy,
He will get things done. OMG – can’t believe what is going on o.k.
I pray for him every night – he has the strength to take over the Presidency – God bless him!
Clinton – another 4 years of Obama – more Isis etc.coming into that beautiful country.
Robert Taylor says
Just before the signing of the war’s end with Japan these are exact wording between the president and his commanders in the Pacific. It explains exactly what PC means.
Tokyo, Japan
1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what does the term politically correct mean?
(4) Washington, D C
2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!

Stephen Russell says
NO, I say Censorship & rigged thus making Trump get more Votes BUT Bias since Primaries alone.
NO to rigged debate Mods, Hire Indie Mods from audience.
NO academia moron for MOD.
Kevin Beck says
This so-called “nonpartisan” debate commission is a sham. Starting with establishing rules for participation among candidates.
The only rule for participation is if the candidate is on enough state ballots that would afford the candidate a mathematical possibility of winning the election. There should be no reading of political public opinion polls; these are always skewed toward the two major party candidates, even if all are mentioned in the polling questions.
The system is designed to protect just two candidates, since media have difficulties trying to explain that there are more than two views about any subject. And right now, we have two political parties that work symbiotically by setting up every political argument along the lines of:
Person 1 makes a proposal for changing some law or restriction (I don’t call these regulations; they all act to restrict us instead of allowing for our actions to be regular). This is followed by:
Person 2 says that he wouldn’t go quite so far with the new proposal; instead, he would only go part-way in that same direction (or what I call the Jeb Bush method of debating ideas).
The result is that both sides have already agreed to the premise that something needs to be done; they are just undecided how far to go (can you say: Democrat and Democrat-Lite?)
But if there’s a third person on stage saying, “None of this is even necessary,” the buffoons in the presstitue media have trouble with that argument. So their solution is to remove that argument from polite discussion.
Which is why all these debates are just an advance auction of future stolen goods.
Don says
Okay, here’s my solution for what it’s worth: Trump should refuse to debate unless it is NOT a press event. That is, no studio audience. No press person to ask the questions. Trump should supply his own camera and Hillary supply one for herself. Only those two cameras! Only one camera position allowed–straight on. Each gets to pick their own questioner, and picks the questions. When the questions are asked, they each get to fly at each other no holds barred. Absolutely no communication devices with anyone except the opponent. Invite the major networks to cover it or not. If they won’t, the American people will be outraged. If they do, the two opponents appear on a split screen, with only one camera angle. That way the American people will get to see a truly balanced debate and see each candidate in the raw. The only rule is that no one draws blood!
Let’s face it: For a long time the presidential debates have been a press event for the radical liberal media’s benefit. Nothing is fair about it. When the Republican candidate agrees to the debate, he/she does it thinking it is only fair to the American people. But the reality is that they are simply agreeing to let the radical liberal press crucify them upside down for their own purposes.
And by the way: Donald Trump is going to have to win this race by at least 8 percentage points to overcome the radical liberal press’s beatings and all the illegals and dead people who will have voted. Folks, looking back on the records it doesn’t look encouraging at all.
