Let Trump Be Trump – ‘Media Rocked By New Poll Of Voters Demanding That Moderators Fact Check Debates’
Kellyanne COnway – Trump’s campaign manager saying voters should just believe Trump because Hillary can’t be trusted.
And what do all but 1 media outlet do?
Say they won’t fact check…….
Give Trump more and more credibility just as they have campaign long……..
‘The latest Monmouth University poll found most voters (60%) believe one of the duties of the moderators is to fact check candidates who state false information during the debates’.
‘Only 31% say the moderators should leave it to the candidates to point out any false statements by their opponent’.

‘Rick Klein: “What if he apologizes? What if he behaves himself? What if he drops “Crooked Hillary” for “Madam Secretary”? What if – stay with us here – he doesn’t stretch the truth’?
Well Rick, then Trump would lose his base.
He can’t apologize. Apologize for what?
Mexicans aren’t rapists, murders?
Muslims need to be stopped form coming to America – well except the rich ones?
Behaves himself?
A boring Trump?
The base loves him because is NOT boring.
He will drop the ‘crooked’ and just use Hillary.
While ‘crooked’ and ‘lying Hillary’ does excite his base, it cancels any attemp at getting back the college educated conservatives.
Doesn’t stretch the truth?
For 90 minutes?
Unless he is reading a scripted speech off of a teleprompter, he wil be Trump –

September 26, 2016 – Arnold Palmer
during the 2014 Par 3 Contest prior to the start of the 2014 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 9, 2014 in Augusta, Georgia.
The only real ‘sports’ I watch, ;ess so since Tiger Woods has been gone, is golf.
And the reason is Arnold Palmer. I was just a teen when I first saw him play and fell in love with the game.
Let Trump Be Trump – Blog Running – ‘Why I Don’t Care Whether The Debate Is Fact-Checked In Real-Time’
Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka
The BEST answer I have come across re:tonight’s debate.
Great, great post by Matt Osborne over at Freak-Out-Nation
And I agree 100%.
‘Her goal should be to put Trump on display’.
‘The second thing I would have Clinton do — and indeed expect her to do — is keep using Trump’s words against him’.
‘Finally, I would have Clinton smile during her answers’.
‘Rather than fuss about facts, Hillary Clinton should try to make Donald Trump’s bullshit the most glaring fact of all tonight’.
*********************************
‘Nobody cares about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s policy prescriptions. Analysts and opinionators will grade their respective performances on a curve, giving Trump the benefit of a novice’s consideration, because he is not merely a liar but a famous one’.
‘She is a politician, he is a celebrity, and they will be treated accordingly. Accept it, because you will go crazy if you don’t’.
‘So I don’t care whether Lester Holt challenges Trump’s lies, and neither should you’.
‘If I was coaching Clinton tonight, I would tell her to avoid going into long answers that show how much better-prepared she is’.
‘I would tell her to minimize her own fact-checking of Trump’.
‘In fact, I would tell her to say as little as possible and let Trump talk all he wants, even if it means he enjoys more overall talking time’.
‘If Mr. Holt breaks in to tell Trump his time is up, she should defend his right to finish whatever he was saying’.
‘That’s right — she should take Trump’s side against Lester Holt’s efforts to rein him in’.
‘Why’?
‘Because the longer he talks, the more apparent his bullshit’.
‘Suppose the moderator asks the candidates a question about Syria. Ideally, Clinton should answer with just enough details — the horrors of Aleppo and the crushing of ISIS — to establish that she knows what she’s talking about’.
‘Then she should yield her remaining time. Hopefully, this would allow Holt to ask more questions’.
‘Because what she wants Trump to do tonight is talk for twice as long as she does in his characteristic, meandering free form that is short of detail and long on hot air’.
‘If he wants to waste breath on conspiracy theories and blame, all the better, for the more he has to bluff his answers, the more noticeable it will be’.
‘Her goal should be to put Trump on display’.
‘The second thing I would have Clinton do — and indeed expect her to do — is keep using Trump’s words against him’.
‘This has been a particularly effective rhetorical strategy more than once for her, and in multiple formats’.
‘From a fact-checking point of view, every quotation of her opponent has the added benefit of being true. But the more important reason to do this is that it adds to the picture of Trump as a bullshit artist’.
‘Finally, I would have Clinton smile during her answers’.
‘This campaign has been a season of discussion about misogyny and double-standards of gender, but I’m not suggesting Clinton should play into stereotypes. Rather, smiling while you speak is a great trick for keeping one’s voice warm and level’.
‘If Trump is the loud, ‘shrill,’ obnoxious candidate tonight, then he loses, even with the bar set so absurdly low’.
‘Rather than fuss about facts, Hillary Clinton should try to make Donald Trump’s bullshit the most glaring fact of all tonight’.
