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

[jc456]

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....

not me, I'm waiting for the eye to eye contact and the question from him to her. As I just wrote, eating popcorn and drinking beer. I'll absolutely enjoy it.

You do know (or you should) that, unlike Hillary, the Trumpster has NOT yet agreed to show up for the debates.

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.

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.

I disagree...his timing on the first drop was about perfect. Let's be honest here, Buck...that convention was rocked by the Assange release. Debbie Wasserman Schultz went from being one of the most powerful Democrats in the country to being out in a matter of days. Other high level DNC leaders went with her. Bernie Sanders was about to tell his people to get in line and support Clinton. Next thing you know he can't control them and they are booing people off the stage. It drove a wedge between Clinton and the far left of the Party and she's been forced to veer even further to the left to attempt to win them back...something she didn't want to have to do. At a time when that convention was supposed to be a nonstop attack on Donald Trump, it was derailed by the Assange email drop.

Don't blame Conservatives, Trump, Assange, or Putin for what Hillary skeletons, lies, and secrets have been collected and are being exposed. Had she not done / had any of this there would be no scandal.

Blaming the messenger instead of the criminal does not work in this case, or at least does not a completely free pass.

 

[easyt65]

[You do know (or you should) that, unlike Hillary, the Trumpster has NOT yet agreed to show up for the debates.

And libs and Hillary are praying he doesn't.

 

[nat4900]

just Trump eyeballing Hitlery will be fun for me. I can't wait for him to actually ask her himself and watch how it goes. I'll be eating popcorn and drinking beer for the event.

TWO important questions that will be asked of Trump during the debates (that is, if he shows up) will be:

1. Mr. Trump, are you still a "birther" regarding the nationality of President Obama???

2.Mr. Trump, you had promised to share your tax returns and since there is NO restriction on sharing them during an IRS audit, where are they and shouldn't the voters be able to see them before casting their vote?

 

[paulitician]

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?

He was right on Putin and Russia. Putin/Russia can be a great ally. Trump just said he could work with him. And let's face it, it can't be any worse than Obama and Clinton's stupid 'Reset Button' fail. Trump did well. Lauer did a classic Liberal Media hack hit-job on him. But Trump still came out on top. Good on em.

Well, so far there is NO scandal nor is there ANY criminality, indictments or convictions....

So, again, lots of luck......LOL.

It's a "pity" that email "leaks" from people like Assange are the only way that Americans can find out what it is that Hillary Clinton and their government have been doing! For an administration that promised to be the "most transparent in history" the Obama Administration has been more secretive than the Nixon White House...the group that led to the passage of so many of the "transparency" statutes!

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....

Two words: 'Reset Button' Nuff said.

he'll be there in full question.

I actually find it amusing about right wingers level of hypocrisy about their bitching on the thawing of relations between us and Cuba or Iran.....while clamoring with better friendly relations with Russia.

 

[nat4900]

Nuff said.

Good....Now go back to bed. LOL

 

[Oldstyle]

if you can't get it done in eight years then you had no business being in charge in the first place.

True....a dictatorship might have hastened the recovery.

Someone who understands economics might have hastened the recovery...just saying!

2.Mr. Trump, you had promised to share your tax returns and since there is NO restriction on sharing them during an IRS audit, where are they and shouldn't the voters be able to see them before casting their vote?

ANSWERS:

1. "Is Hillary?"

2. "While my tax returns were never required to be released by law, those thousands of work-related emails that Hillary hid that the FBI found on Hillary's servers WERE. SHE, unlike 'me' broke the law.

And when is Kerry going to release those military records he promised to release years ago?

Tell you what, if Hillary comes clean on the e-mail scandal AND she releases her medical records, I will give up my tax returns tomorrow!"

A scandal ONLY in right wingers' (soon to be losers") eyes......Just ask Gowdy and Comey......LOL

You're right, it did some damage, but again, it was over by Wednesday. They left the convention with momentum. Had he dropped it on Wednesday it would have the typical 24 hour news cycle and they would have closed the convention in shambles. I watched the convention, and I don't recall it even being mentioned after Tuesday by even Fox. Hindsight is 20/20, and I contend Wednesday would have been much worse for the Dems. Sunday before the convention it got all sorts of coverage; Weekends are the worst time to get a bang. If you have bad news you have to get out do it on the weekend when more folks are not watching the news. 24 hour news cycle!

why was it more than a third of hitlery's time then?
