Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 Do you know what the hell he is talking about? I have no idea. It reminds me of that part of a speech he made at a rally yesterday where he was talking about Cyber and I had no clue what the hell he was saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 The media will spin this as showing his strength and a fresh spin on his campaign. I don't know how you guys can watch that lisping prick Lauer. I'd have a panic attack at the thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) If I knew Lauer was hosting I would have skipped. I hate him. I don't know how you can spin this but I am sure the media will try. Edited September 8, 2016 by JaneAusten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) No, they won't. It was too much of a mess. He was rambling and lost his cool, then began complimenting Putin for "saying nice things about me" and when challenged to defend Putin's record of injustice and human rights abuses, he said "what about Obama?" He said they had to admit Putin was "much of a leader" compared to our president. Then he called all the generals supporting Hillary 'losers'. That [!@#$%^&*] is going to stick to him. They had the knives out for Hillary and she handled it, but Trump's segment was far worse. I don't believe he will do more than one debate, if that.

Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yeah I don't think his segment was good at all with the slobbering all over Putin IMO. But the media will say he spoke in complete sentences therefore sounded "presidential". We'll see. I don't like and still don't like how the media lets him get away with salivating over Putin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 I don't think so. CNN is savaging him, as are many of the veterans and generals the networks are having on. Josh Marshall's take is pretty correct, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 Oh I am not watching CNN because they typically give him a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 I looked at Politico and it was "both struggled," which is probably as honest as they'll get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Politico is Politico. What matters is the overall impression, which is that he flamed out. Edited September 8, 2016 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yeah I am looking at twitter and he's not faring well. Some of course still didn't like Hillary and said she was too hard to understand lol. To me she sounded knowledgeable and educated but she doesn't have the gift Bill does in simplifying for her audience. I did like her answer to the ISIS question and how she threw in getting the watch list terrorists on the no buy list for guns which is a no brainer. That IMO will resonate with a lot of people who can't understand why they are not. And frankly I thought Matt Lauer was meh. After listening tonight I am not worried at all about the debates. I thought Hillary did fine. She certainly came across more knowledgeable but frankly I don't know what she can do to not sound like she's the smartest person in the room. She is and she doesn't have her husbands gifts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think she'll do fine in the debates. I don't think any sane person on Trump's team who saw that tonight wants him to do a live debate, though. Oh, and let's not forget this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted September 8, 2016 Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Lauer is getting trashed on social media - and apparently he and NBC knew it, according to one reporter on the scene tonight. Guy also says the crowd inside the forum was livid that he opened on emails, and shocked by Trump's cluelessness re: military courts.
