In reply to the discussion: NBC News chairman praises Lauer for forum moderator performance [View all]Sunlei
(22,651 posts)19. I think Lauer did well. He brought in the main issue 'dogging' each candidate, let them answer
to the issues and then let the audience Vets ask their questions. In 30 mins there was time for only two Veterans questions.
The Clinton issue was the emails, especially classified. She had the time to make the statement, classified information she worked with was always on a different server.
An hour (30 mins each) was to short, I wish each had to answer questions for a couple hours. Clintons been 'stress tested' for several hours of 'questions' many times. Trump never.

The only reason I said person, was because I was referring to the position not the person.

Not surprising since Lack is one of Lauer's best friends and helped plan the "debate"
