Next week, debate moderator needs to confront Deplorable Don on his assassinate Hillary comments.

[MoonRiver]

If this doesn't happen, I will completely lose faith in these debates.

1. WHAT?

No, no. Hillary's Emails!!!!!

There is no greater crisis facing our nation!

[BSdetect]

2. Just don't hold your breath while waiting

Its going to be interesting.

The first question may well reveal the intent.

I'm guessing it will be very weak.

The fact that the media tries to talk about Trump's pivots and "policies" makes me puke.

Expect little serious questioning.

They could pin him to the floor on one topic.

Watch him squirm.

[MoonRiver]

3. He will undoubtedly be humiliated, despite the moderator's best efforts.

But, I really want him called out on that one topic.

[napkinz]

6. he needs to be called out on this EVERY day leading up to the debate

and every day leading up to the election.

This is the SECOND time he's insinuated assassination.

Any other candidate would have been declared DISQUALIFIED the FIRST time.

[MoonRiver]

7. I agree. This is completely deplorable. UGH.

[napkinz]

8. I've been switching between MSNBC and CNN

They are barely covering it this morning. It's just another story.

Last week they were in a FRENZY when Hillary got sick.

Unbelievable!!!!!

[MoonRiver]

9. I'm beyond horrified. Citizens United and corporate media controlling our elections are villains.

We have to get rid of those influences to have anywhere near fair elections.

[napkinz]

11. if Hillary had said "Let's see what happens to him" you know the media would be all over it

WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE we'd be getting!

[MoonRiver]

14. Yes, I do, and this situation makes me sick.

[napkinz]

16. it was "BREAKING NEWS" when Hillary got sick

Last night, all we got was "Here's a clip of what Donald Trump said a few minutes ago talking about guns and Hillary Clinton" (to paraphrase the anchors who reported it).

No flashing BREAKING NEWS banners with DRAMATIC music.

[napkinz]

4. They'll ask and he'll reply that he was just being sarcastic.

Let's see if they let that pathetic answer slide.

5. I will not be shocked or surprised if 20% of debates are about emails

[bettyellen]

17. If they claim any conflict of interest was shown it opens the door to discus Trumps very real ones..

Instead of the maybe sort of conflict of interest they soon up with Hillary.

[Grammy23]

10. I don't see how they can completely ignore asking about his comments regarding

Disarming the Secret Service guards who are with Hillary. It has happened twice and so far doesn't seem to have made a huge impact on his polling numbers. He should be asked and just saying he was being sarcastic should not get him off the hook. Given our history in this country of assassination of political candidates, he should be confronted on the wisdom of making any kind of remark that could be taken seriously by some who hear it. Could he not be accused rightly of issuing an invitation for someone to attempt to harm her? Let him answer that with Hillary standing a few feet away from him. I dare them to confront the bully on live TV.

12. Different standards

It's pretty apparent that we will lose this election unless the press starts holding Trump to the same standards every other presidential candidate in the history of this country has been held to.


Imagine the outrage if Obama had made this comment about McCain. It would have been in the headlines of every major paper in the country and would have sunk his candidacy. Let's see if the press can do its job for a change.

15. Trump could dig up Lincoln's corpse and sodomize it on national TV

and the "liberal media" would just say "Oh Donnie, you rascal you!"

[moonscape]

18. Well, once he loses the election...

and also his secret service detail, he's going to have to hire a much bigger security force. Although our side is not the one who incited violence, Trump did and he needs to be aware that what he puts out there can ricochet right back at him ...
