Orange Whine
Latest in new selections to pair with fish? Orange whine.
Oh dear, Donald Trump says he wants a debate with no moderators. Why? Because they are not fair to him.
Trump on Monday floated a new idea for his upcoming debates against Clinton, proposing a debate without a moderator to avoid a “very unfair” showdown because such a person would go “really hard” against him following Matt Lauer’s performance in NBC News’ commander in chief forum last week.
Trump claims whines that Lauer was fair, but people say he went easy on Trump so the odds of future debate moderators being harder on him has increased.
“But they all said I won and that Matt Lauer was easy on me. Well he wasn’t. He was — I thought he was very professional, I have to be honest. I think he’s been treated very unfairly, but they all said that I won, and what they’re doing is they’re gaming the system so that when I go into the debate, I’m gonna get — be treated very, very unfairly by the moderators.”
Put on your big boy pants, Trump. Do you think Isis is going to be fair with you?
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
He’s 70. He’s not going to grow up, so everybody just quit hoping.
I didn’t watch, but if Clinton was grilled for a third of the time about email and Trump wasn’t called on blatant lies, he has no basis for complaint.
And the third and last debate is supposed to be moderated by somebody from Fox, so what’s his gripe?
Jeez, what a whiny-ass-titty-baby.
1As a political junkie, I wish he would go away. I can’t miss him until he does.Ben Franklin said something to the effect – “Any fool can criticize and complain, and most fools do”.
2No moderator? How would that work,exactly? No set questions? Just free-form lies and hurling of insults? Would Trump at least consent to a timekeeper, and agree to shut his damned yap when his turn was over? And not constantly interrupt and talk over the rest of the time?
Sounds like he’s really scared, huh? He realizes that one Hillary is a more formidable opponent than those 16 other bozos her was up against before.
3I’m surprised he didn’t suggest tying their left forearms together and debating with dull hatchets.
4While it’s true that the simplest way to tell that Trump is lying is to check and see if his mouth is moving, the truly scientific approach is to listen. When he says, “I have to be honest” the chance jumps exponentially.
And @ Lunargent:
5Even when he was “debating” the bozo’s he ducked out to host a “fundraiser” during which no funds were raised — because they were to be earmarked for vets, not him.
Is there any record of this single helix chunk of DNA ever completing a thought?/or sentence? Having a coherent thought?
There is that other person who cannot end a sentence. She has problems with coherent thought, also
6Everybody treats Deplorable Donald sooooo unfairly, so he’s got a built-in excuse for coming up short on the knowledge and skill-set necessary to win a presidential debate. Boo-boo.
7Can’t wait to see him go down in flames. Of course he will claim victory no matter what and then complain about how he was treated. If only the moderators had the guts to challenge his lies.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Donnie KNOWS Hillary’s gonna maul him like a pit bull. I think he’s hoping to be able to weasel (with apologies to weasels) out of the debates if possible. Try to make the moderators more like Lauer as a second choice. And if nothing else, to reinforce the notion that the whole wide world was MEAN to him when he gets his ass handed to him in November. Just think how many “deplorables” will rush out to buy his books so their children can read them to them.
8My bad. I was forgetting audio books.
9No, then they wouldn’t have anyone to translate multisyllable words for them. Gotta be the kids.
10What is it that he thinks he “won?” Why did he repeat that? Was that farce regarding veterans a competition? Who the hey ever heard of a debate with no moderators? Since when is he allowed to change the rules?
11PP says~Donnie knows Hillary is going to maul him like a pit bull~ hahahahahahahahaha oh lordy i
12think I just wet myself a little.
Putin must be laughing gleefully every time he sees more proof that Trump is just a marshmallow with a bullhorn.
I’ve seen thicker cellophane than his emotional skin, and tougher wet tissue than his, er, toughness.
13And so it begins. Two weeks to the debates and he’s whining about the rules. No moderator? At a debate? Does this man know nothing? Hey… why even have an election? We can do it like they “vote” on those talent shows. Press “1” for Hillary; Press “2” for Donnie. See how simple that is! Sheesh!!
14NOVEMBER NINTH …. if only it arrives with the promise of stuffing a cork in this gigantic bottle of orange whine.
15JAKvirginia, I bet you are right, he will next suggest call in voting like on TV, because he has NO understanding of how government and elections work. Since he has NEVER debated (those GOP things were never debates) and his competitors were all bizarre, he is SCARED. Scared he will actually have to know something.
16Everyone says Drumpf won? Who is everyone?
17epo: His posse.
*To join, butt-kissing is required.
18Yes, Rhea … you nailed it: Jeez, what a whiny-ass-titty-baby.
19He is such an egomaniac that he truly thinks he can, with the flip of a wrist, a twist of the lip, demand how the so-called debate is to be handled!! And, we all know, if he doesn’t get his way … he’ll go outside and eat worms!! Good!!
Some of his ass kissers gushed over how he won that Matt Lauer joke of a whatever that was!! Forum …
Someone said that debating Trump is like playing chess with a pigeon– the pigeon has no idea how to play the game, so he craps all over the board and struts around as if he won.
20Sour whine from the King of the WATB. And I notice he thinks he won. Did somebody give him a trophy for showing up?
21No moderator?
Why not call it “Late Night With Trump.”
22The format is one loooooong monologue.
“I have to be honest.”
No Don, you don’t have to but you should. And you didn’t win, it’s just that Matt didn’t think it was his job to call you on your lies.
It was a great strategy, since he wasn’t questioned he felt free to expound on his cluelessness. He definitely isn’t one for being silent and thought a fool.
23One pundit suggested that it would be advantage to Hill if the debate was without audience. Trump revs when he gets audience response and tends to bomb when he gets none. So… no moderator, then no audience.
In reality the real need based on past debates is to allow moderators/sound guys to control the “live” state on a candidates mike. Trump’s style is to speak over or yell over other debaters.
Watching how some of the news shows go with people being rude and disrespectful of the other’s opinion talking over it makes me think it may be time to only allow live mike time to one speaker at a time. If you cannot act respectfully, then let’s modify the system to force it.
24I am waiting for the golden moment when he reveals what he was told in the secret briefings.
25Do you wonder if he made a full disclosure of the secret briefings that they would have to kill him?
26Well, you all know the old “loose lips … ” thing!! Speak, Donald!! Speak!!
Now look what he wants today regarding the debates! That boy just cannot be satisfied! And I do mean boy. He just never got beyond a certain stage of development.
27Many of the smartest people involved in government and/or politics would struggle debating Hillary. She’s the most knowledgeable person in the room. Scumpf is the dumbest and Hillary will mow him down like a dried up fall weed.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m talking about ditch weeds. You come along on the tractor pulling a sickle mower. The sickle chatters back and forth at a high rate of speed. When it reaches the tall kochia weed, for a brief moment the weed trembles wildly, dried up leaves and seeds fluttering down, till it drops backwards, flattened and useless.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!
28Rhea, you are one of the funniest folks in the salon. Thanks for another good one. Scumpf is a pigeon, puffed up chest, but really flea infested rat food.
29“But they all said I won”
who is “they”? we need names, descriptions, addresses, home and cell phone #’s.
