I just don’t get how Trump doesn’t have more ability to pick his moderators.

I’m a Trump fan but it would be nice if he could ever sit back answer softballs and talk about his successes and not always seem like he is being attacked.
I mean it was completely different feel from his to slow Joes where he is getting conversational type questions.

Because moderators are owned/employed by the media that broadcasts the debates

It’s obvious to anyone watching that he isn’t getting it easy. It’s more impressive than taking softballs like Joe. It actually causes some reasonable people to be empathetic towards him.

Annoying to us, but Trump likes to tee it up against hostile moderators and media.

The debate commission is filled with swampers hand picked by swampers.

Why dude, it’s working to his advantage. The man is a master showman and WWE legend that knows the value of the underdog position. He’s playing the stupid arse media and they can’t help but fall for it every single time.

He knew this was going to happen. He isn’t stupid. Their behavior proves his point and he still wins.

He has his rally’s for easy wins.

He CHOOSES to take on the corrupt MSM at these events.

Damn he should agree to only Fox then.

Or at least do one National event with them so people can see a softer side when the conversation is mutual in respect.

While a part of me had a visceral angry reaction to the filthy smelly yeast infected KUNT traitor whore from NBC who got away with openly fighting and interrupting the President of the United States in the Town Hall tonight, the other part of me realized that any REAL American saw through the bullshite, and the President's demeanor and behavior was quite simply awesome. I personally wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to bend that whoring leftist kunt over her stool and frick her in the arse with a rusty tire iron.

Doesn’t he do this at least once a week on Fox News?

Trump has the intellect and mental courage to do interviews and town halls on hostile biased networks. Dementia laden loser Joe does not have the courage to appear on Fox News which would actually be fair and balanced, but would still ask him complex questions that he is NOT capable of mentally processing nor answering.

You guys whine way too much about what Trump has to do with from the media and moderators. The President of the United States should be asked tough questions and it doenst matter if Biden gets softball questions in return.

This isnt a Trump versus Biden election. Its a referendum on Trump and he seems to be doing just fine with all the bullshite from the left. At the end of the day it makes him look like even more of a badass that we all know he is.

In General agree... But it was NBC... from a negotiating standpoint who wanted the night the most? ... Regardless, the Election Commission is a complete joke and needs to bite the dust. Directly negotiate with the DNC, and negotiate with them on who the moderators will be. There are only a hand full of moderators who can be trusted. You might could get people from different networks on the same stage... for example... Trump would have picked Brett Brair for one, and Biden would have picked Lester Holt and they get the same number of questions and time for their questions. This would ensure three good moderators in three debates instead of one, or none. ... something like that.

I get that point and somewhat agree. I’m just saying 80-90% of people knew who they were voting for early on so I’m just thinking maybe one of these final important interviews since he wasn’t debating could have gone a long way with some of the undecided if it could have been more conversational.
That’s all I’m thinking.

I'd bet even that remaining 10-20% know who they're voting for, they just wanna seem hip and sophisticated by insisting how open-minded they are. 15% of those - Trump, all day long.

They should let the candidates ask the questions to one another, then mute the questioner's mic for 2 mins.

The moderator simply there to say who's turn it is etc.
