Matt Lauer Gets Hammered For Being The One To Finally Ask Hillary The Tough Questions

[nat4900]

But he exudes strength

So did Stalin......So did Castro.....So did Chavez...So did Pol Pot....So did Mao....should I go on?

Lauer was brave enough to finally ask Hillary the tough questions regarding Hillary's email scandal that the 'All-In' media have refused to ask...and immediately after Liberals launched a barrage of attacks against Lauer, using the standard 'Liberal 101' accusations:
- 'Unfair'
- 'Sexist'
- 'Waaaaa!'


God bless Lauer for having the integrity and courage to ask Hillary about the #1 scandal that is in the news every day and that is dogging her campaign, even when the other media refuses to do so!


Matt Lauer Fields Storm of Criticism Over Clinton-Trump Forum

"Charged with overseeing a live prime-time forum with Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton — widely seen as a dry run of sorts for the coming presidential debates — Mr. Lauer found himself besieged on Wednesday evening by critics of all political stripes, who accused the anchor of unfairness, sloppiness and even sexism in his handling of the event."

Isn't it clear by now that the email scandal has done all the damage it can do? What voter is not at least partially aware of it? The Dems should be applauding Lauer for acting tough by asking about something that will not do any damage.

I beg to disagree with you, Buck...I think you're being rather naive if you don't think there are things in the 33,000 deleted emails that would be politically damaging to Hillary. We've got some 60 days until the election. If someone like Julian Assange does have hacked emails from Hillary's server then it's a question of when he thinks he'll get the biggest bang for his buck when they're released. I'd guess the timing would be several weeks before the election.

 

[Oldstyle]

You know that he said in private that in no way would he send large units of ground troops to Iraq?

Said it in private? That's brave. But that doesn't address my point. You said Clinton was too establishment. Which is odd considering so is Kasich.

I said she is a neo-con imperialist and made clear that she has been in public life far too long. That you will vote for Clinton mindlessly say much about you.

I'm voting for the most qualified candidate. You're voting for someone who is completely unvetted and doesn't even know what Aleppo is and then when asked about what to do with refugees (which was the real question) he couldn't even answer that, had nothing to say on the subject at all even when it's explained to him like he's a 3rd grader.

So, what you are doing is voting for someone who can't win, hasn't done anything to demonstrate he's remotely qualified while doing absolutely nothing to strategically vote against someone who should never, ever see the White House. Your vote is the very definition of waste.

If Kasich, Jeb Bush hell even if Cruz were the GOP nominee and the Dems pulled a full retard and nominated Trump there is no way I'd go 3rd party, I'd vote for the Republican.

So you think. You are voting as a homer not a thinker.

I think I'm voting to ensure Trump doesn't win. That right now is my number one concern. If Trump wins and you complain about it, I hope the entire board goes down your throat because you'll have deserved it. You lost your party, if Trump wins you never get it back.

In general I'm tired of Democrats having to clean up after Republicans, mostly because Democrats aren't nearly as good as house cleaning as Republicans are at starting fires. You lost your party, the GOP couldn't fix Trump and now it's up to Democrats to take care of the problem. As a country we can't afford the risk and you who pretends to be a common sense moderate Republican has decided to sit it out, fuck it, why should Republicans like you care what happens now? I mean, after all as a party the GOP has been pandering to the very worst for decades, moderate Republicans should own up to their own past acceptance of the nutjobs now running your party.

Democrats "clean up" after Republicans? Since when? I'm from Massachusetts, Happy and we have a long history of electing Republican Governors periodically even though it's about as Democratic a State as there is in the country. Why? Because they gave us balanced budgets and reined in things like out of control government. Democrats equate balanced budgets with conservatism and they HATE them because they don't allow the spending on entitlements that they so dearly love.

[Bush92]

Putin is a dictator that kills off dissidents......We, luckily live in a democracy that does not get rid of morons....like you.

Bush38 would say Hitler was a strong leader too I bet.

He was.

Oh, I forgot, you guys like him too.

Hitler and Putin wouldn't survive a day in a real democracy.

What does that have to do with the fact they were strong leaders?

Leading a democracy is more difficult than forcing your citizens to your will. You actually have to convince people to vote for you.

I think you have a little boy's vision about what leadership means.

I'm not politicizing the question. They were and are rational actors and they led/lead from a position of strength.

The Great Depression and Great Recession.

Great Recession was a fabrication of the left to make Obama appear as if he was taking over like FDR in 1932. Let me remind you that in 1932 unemployment was at 25% or higher. This so called "Great Recession" was all smoke screen to bail out banks like Goldman Sachs.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The GR was a fact caused by compliant Congresses and presidents. Anyone who says it was a fabrication is an enemy of America's best interests.

 

[jc456]

I'll take Clinton over Trump anyday. How is Gary Johnson worthy?

How is he worthy? He's not Clinton or Trump.

That's not an answer. He's 'worthy' most likely because he has no chance of winning. It's Clinton or Trump, nobody else.

For the likes of you (you are much like easyt, except quieter), that answer is acceptable.

Actually I'm noting like easyt and it's dishonest of you to say I am. I would never invite the likes of him to my party only to ridicule him while he took it over. That's you.

You are very much like him. You use the same tactics. You are unethical that way, so is easy, so is Hillary, so is Little Hand Donnie.

president Donnie to you.

Not yet and probably not. Beeing odds are still 75 to 25 and HRC is climbing again the favorability column. Check RealClearPolitics.

 

[charwin95]

I actually thought he sucked up to Hitlery bigtime. He was much more aggressive and hostile to Trump. But Trump handled it well. He was the Boss again.

To trump followers yes. In reality all he did was insult ( trade mark ) people and kiss Putin ass. And zero answer to ISIS. Very weak.

That's your opinion. But Lauer definitely treated Clinton differently. He was a lapdog with her, but an attack dog with Trump. Anyone with common sense and integrity saw that. But Trump did just fine anyway.

Typical Trump followers. In reality all he did was insult ( trade mark) generals, kiss Putin ass and unprepared.
We love it every time he mentioned Putin because that pissed off a lot of Americans. Did you see the reactions of the GOPs after trump praising dictator Putin?

I have NO doubt that in Trump's deficient brain, he sees himself as a "benevolent despot"...if only given the chance to run the world as he has run Trump Airlines or Trump Casinos....

I don't care about polls bubba. I have remained consistent. President Donnie to you.

As Press Whines About Lauer Interrupting Hillary, It Ignores His 13 Trump Interruptions



As usual. There is no such thing as real fairness in the minds of leftists



Lauer did interrupt Mrs. Clinton seven times — relatively politely — and allowed Former Air Force & Navy flight officer Lt. John Lester to criticize her for having "clearly corrupted our national security," and for taking actions for which he "would have been prosecuted and imprisoned." The Today Show host, perhaps realizing that he had some lefty credibility to regain, appeared to try to overcompensate with Trump. He was much tougher on him, interrupting 13 times, and far more confrontationally.

I am onboard with the idea that there could be somethings that will come out that have a crippling effect, but so far they effect has been minimal. Lauer asked about the emails already released, and my point is that those effects are already played out.

Assange doesn't seem to know when to release them to get the biggest bang. Recall he released the emails that got Schultz booted on Sunday before the convention, and they weren't even a topic by the time Hellary accepted on Thursday. Imagine the effect had that dump been made on Wednesday before Slick Willie and Chelsea spoke. All the momentum of the convention would have been sucked out of the room while the Bernsters boiled. Hopefully his timing will improve. I'd like to see a bomb dropped the morning of the first debate, and then watch that witch stand up and answer questions with little time to create a spun story.

With all due respect, Happy...Democrats oversaw the two worst recoveries from recessions in the nation's history...did they "clean up" a mess or did they "prolong" a mess with liberal policy? Barack Obama will leave office as the first President ever to have eight years of sub 2% economic growth. That's hardly "cleaning up" things. It's failing to fix things. And please don't give me that tired excuse of it taking time to fix...if you can't get it done in eight years then you had no business being in charge in the first place.

 

[nat4900]

It is a bit of a pity that right wingers are setting their "hopes" for a Trump win on such characters as Assange and Putin.
But it does say something about right wing hatred......Lots of luck....
