Dems accuse Matt Lauer of anti-Hillary bias

The Democratic nominee repeated once more that it was “a mistake” for her to use a private email server while at the helm of the State Department. He also opened the door to granting legal status to illegal aliens if they join the military.

So, the GOP nominee for commander in chief tells people that he’s “good at war”, “has had a lot of wars of his own” and “loves war in a certain way” despite never having been in the military. So the stakes are monumental as the candidates prepare to go head-to-head at the potentially pivotal first presidential debate on September 26 at Hofstra University, New York, expected to draw millions of viewers around the country and the world. The event took place last night on Pier 86 in Manhattan aboard the decommissioned USS Intrepid, which is now the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

“I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Putin and a very good relationship with Russian Federation”. Even with a room filled with heroic soldiers and veterans, we were still witnessing a game of political “gotcha”. She was reduced to insisting that none of the emails had a header marked “Classified” and that there is no evidence she was hacked. “I can say this, the number of rapes in the military are through the roof”. “And we’re not putting ground troops into Syria”, she said. And most foolishly, he unnecessarily praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and continued to encourage the generally ridiculous chatter about a possible secret connection between the two of them. Trump also cited Putin’s high approval rating in his country and said he has “been a leader far more than our president has been a leader”. It was in that sense a microcosm of the race: Only against Trump could Clinton seem far and away the most responsible contender.

“I was totally against the war in Iraq”.

In March of 2003, 75 percent of Americans supported war with Iraq. From a – you can look at Esquire magazine from ’04.

During a national security speech earlier in the day, Trump attacked Clinton for her past support of military action in Iraq and Libya, saying that “she’s trigger-happy and very unstable, whether we like it or not”. “That is a judgment issue”.

“Trump has offered empty promises and divisive rhetoric”, Mr. Kaine said. “I like people that weren’t captured, OK?” He described his trip to Mexico last week as a success because the officials there who help arrange it “have been forced out of government”.

In a nutshell, Lauer put the screws to Clinton, nearly berating her over her emails, which have nothing to do with the event’s topic, while he effectively pour Trump a beer and sat back watching football.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is angry that the NBC host devoted one-third of her time on stage to asking a series of follow-up questions about her email practices as secretary of state and then gave her little time to talk about pressing national security issues.

The NBC News Commander-in-Chief Forum again raised questions about Donald Trump’s support for the Iraq War. “Now, nobody would believe that from the coverage that you see, and the constant berating of the VA that comes from the Republicans, in part in pursuit of this ideological agenda that they have”.

Both campaigns will have fodder for refreshed attacks after the appearances Wednesday.
