Giuliani: I'd skip next debates if I were Trump
Source: Politico
Lester Holt, the NBC News anchor who moderated the debate, should be ashamed of himself, Giuliani said after the debate. He said Holt was wrong to attempt to fact-check Trump on the constitutionality of stop-and-frisk and his claimed opposition to the Iraq War.

If I were Donald Trump I wouldnt participate in another debate unless I was promised that the journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker, Giuliani said. The moderator would have to promise that there would be a moderator and not a fact checker and in two particular cases an enormously ignorant, completely misinformed fact checker.
If you wonder why Donald Trump thinks that the press is a left-wing basically oriented group, Lester Holt proved it tonight," he added.

And as someone who was too afraid to run against Hillary, Rudy should know.

I never understood why Kurtz was given slots where he looked at bias - he has leaned to the right at least since 2004. (I do not remember seeing him before than)

He ran better campaigns and was MUCH more liberal than he pretends to be now - pro-choice (right down to late term), very pro gun control - he got hit in the head on 9/11 and has been an imbecile ever since.

(670 posts)isn't supposed to be concerned with "facts". Giuliani does not want the moderators to be journalists, because then it would be their duty to call out Trump's lies. He wants them to confine themselves to mouthing the questions.

See, in their world Hillary had Joe Wilson killed at Benghazi because he was going to admit they had an affair.

(448 posts)During the debate Trump was whining about all the mean negative ads Clinton had run against him.
AS IF Trump hadn't been brutally lobbing insults at Clinton and many, many others for months now.
They're all bullies - and like all bullies, once beaten, they start up with their whining and crying.
Pathetic.

(9,894 posts)I thought Holt to a certain extent let Trump be Trump. Which is the best way for us to win this thing. His base isn't going to change their minds, it's the "undecided" (as hard to believe that such people exist at this point as that may be) who need a good look at unchained Trump.

The Latest on the U.S. presidential race (all times EDT):
3:05 p.m.
Donald Trump says he will participate in the next two presidential debates.
The Republican presidential contender was asked by reporters about his intentions during a Tuesday afternoon appearance in Miami.
He said "sure" when asked by reporters whether he would participate in the subsequent debates.
Also on hand was Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor. Giuliani suggested the night before that he would not attend the upcoming debates if he were Trump.

Frankly an empty space would do the Trump campaign less damage than a live Donald Trump does.
Giuliani's law firm has been Trump's law firm for several years, so Rudy is not making these suggestions gratiutously as a mere Trump Chump, but for pay as Trump's own attorney. Listen to your lawyer Donald.
But people forget that Rudy Giuliani had his own little meltdown right after Sept 11th. The attack occurred on the day of the NY Primaries, and Rudy had the bright idea that he should simply cancel the November election for the next mayor and continue himself in office "for the duration". Considering that he has now forgotten that the US was attacked at all while W was President, that "duration" might have continued to the present day. But his suggestion was immediately rejected by everyone else, including his own party and all the other lawyers in his administration.
