The Dems are furious that their media puppet didn't do as he was told. They have grown so accustomed to controlling the narrative, they cannot tolerate when the media doesn't behave as their personal attack dog.
The entire leftist media establishment is in an uproar.
Now they are experiencing how it feels for once to be a conservative having to constantly tolerate being grilled while your opponent is fawned over, and they absolutely cannot take it.

The last thread on the debate reached bump/comment limit, so the ban happy fucks will have to tolerate it
was he actually hardballing or just not being as much of a bitch as they wanted him to?
Carson Brooks
I thought Ratt Lauer was an asshole. He didnt not attack Trump. It was very much an attack on Trump. If he went any further, like they are suggesting, they'd probably have turned even more people towards Trump.
Landon Campbell
They're just mad that Trump is unstumpable from 30 years of expeience dealing with the media and Hillary is looks like death warmed over. They're completely demoralized and it just keeps getting worse.
Ryder Bennett
We should run with this though and meme Lauer as being pro Trump so more leftists attack him.
Sebastian Russell
Couldn't hurt. He doesn't deserve any genuine sympathy over this or anything. Might as well take advantage of what you can.
Charles Collins
I'm honestly surprised at how much was thrown at Hillary, I thought all her questions would be about how much she likes puppies and if she would bring world peace.
I think Trump got hit equally as hard, maybe a bit harder, but I'm so used to watching him take it all in stride that it feels ordinary.
Mason Thomas
This, Trump IMO turned in his worst performance of the entire cycle (by our standards) in that he did not go super presidential or super attack, pretty much vanilla, but it turned out to be the very best strategy as the mods turned out cucks and the crowd turned out super anti hillary in their body language. So he had 3 options:
1. Attack like a pitbull, invite it from the moderators and distract the crowd from Cuntary. 2. Be a Bernie tier nobody and invite disdain for not being aggressive, distract the mainstream media from Cuntary. 3. Be slightly aggressive but mostly prepared, pre-written, and (purposely) boring as fuck. Let Cuntary die on stage
Chose #3, won the game #4.

They're crucifying Lauer super hard. I can't tell if it is legit or some convoluted scheme to garner sympathy for Hilldogg. Maybe it is so the mods at the first debate grill Trump harder. But, like anyone with a functioning brain already pointed out, he was tough on Trump too, but Big D handles himself better.
This is like one of those stories where a bunch people describe the same scene differently. These cucks are so cucked that they are unable to see an alpha male at work. They cannot comprehend. They have no frame of reference. So they think Lauer was taking it easy on Trump and hard on Hilldogg. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug
Charles Cruz
Lefties eat their own and - since they haven't had a good meal lately - they had to sacrifice Lauer on the Progressive Altar.
Oliver Walker
Laur hard balled and didn't back up.
Trump won the coin toss and chose to let Hillary go first, knowing she'd be an easy act to follow. Laur immediately brought up the emails and the first audience question was also emails. Since this was an all military veteran audience, they didn't hesitate and asked why she'd get away with shit they'd be court martialed for. Hillary immediately was forced on the defensive and basically had to talk in circles rather than actually explain why she wasn't arrested.
It just got worse from there. The next two questions were Benghazi related, one from a Sargent(read: a guy who started as a boot on the ground and spent his whole career leading men on the ground), and one from a pilot who was physically there AT Benghazi. She had no friends in that room and had to basically run out the clock by rambling and refusing to let Laur ask any more questions.
Every single crowd shot in the room made it clear almost everyone there had raw contempt for her and didn't bother to hide it.
When Trump came on he damn near got a standing ovation, with a clearly warmer welcome. He gave mostly direct answers even though they tried multiple times to stump him. The very first person from the audience was a proud black woman who asked him about illegals serving in the military but he barely broke stride. When they got a crying white woman to talk about mental health and suicide he was immediately clear on what he'd do to solve the problem.
The orange motherfucker came prepared. He made it immediately clear he'd researched every relevant statistic, and when they asked him what he'd been doing he reached into his pocket and pulled out a list of dozens of generals and admirals he'd been meeting with as his Trump Card. Even when they tried to catch him in a lie he pulled out a specific date and time for his previous statement to show that was false.
He got tripped up a couple of times, it's just the nature of the beast with live unscripted questions, but was mostly solid.
Not twenty minutes after the event had ended though MSNBC tried to recut the footage to show only the best of Clinton and only the worst of Trump, including lies Clinton said ABOUT Trump after being asked not to bring him up, that Trump refuted in his portion.
Laur hit both of them HARD. The only difference is that Trump knew he was going to be hit and rolled with it. Clinton expected to get her dick sucked and was shocked that someone dared to bite down.
Connor Brooks
If there's ANYTHING I could say about Laur, it's that he didn't bring up Trump University. That's literally the only thing he didn't do. He asked Trump why the hell a real estate guy thinks he's fit to lead the military, what his plan is meant to be, why he thinks he knows more than the generals, he even dug into Trump's twitter to try hurling back statements in his face.

Leo James
I stand corrected. The lighting is a bit weird but lets face it, the looks of raw contempt on them was fucking unreal.
Like lets get serious for a second: Donald Trump has no military experience, shit talked everything they've been doing for the past few years, shit talked veterans the media hailed as heroes, shit talked a dead captain and his family, and has basically been making an ass out of himself on camera.
But the second Clinton left and Trump walked in, he may as well have been Alexander the fucking Great reincarnated. You can tell polite clapping from genuine and this was actual loud, sincere clapping from people who were glad to see him. They clapped harder when he left and he didn't back off from any of that and called the generals a bunch of retards to their faces during the event.
Dominic King
Trump has balls.
Brody Young
The new meme from the media is that the media is biased for Trump and against Clinton. You may say that this directly contradicts observable reality, and you're right, but that misses the point. This is classic triangulation. If most people hear some arguing from one side, and others arguing from another, human nature is to believe that the truth is somewhere in between. This is often reasonable, but it is often also taken advantage of by liars who benefit when people think they have *some* manner of valid point and that those who call them out must be flawed, too. Essentially, the media is trying to save its credibility by accusing itself of being biased toward Trump, which they hope will balance out their clear bias against him, and convince people that the truth must be in the middle (i.e. that their coverage is impartial).
Like all forced media memes, this will be a coordinated attack designed to look like organic consensus that simply popped out of the ether. This criticism of Lauer and the last Paul Krugman column are two examples. There will be more to come.
Evan Morales
How do you think Trump would centipede his way out of the upcoming attacks then? He's always consistent on calling out the (((media))) but do you think it will be enough?
Caleb Howard
both actually, he went after both candidates pretty hard including ambushing trump about a years old tweet but of course the real problem here isn't lauer but hillary. she obviously expected this to be like every other forum she's accustomed to with everyone sucking her dried cunt. trump handled his shit like a boss. sure he stumbled a few times but came off presidential while hillary was basically an angry old cat lady that bans people from sa for trivial shit.
Jacob Kelly
I ripped a quick video. I wanted to make a montage of crowd shots while Hillary was talking but in the entire segment, this was pretty much it other than a few quick pans.

Xavier Lopez
The difference is it's too late. A shockingly small amount of people give a fuck. My dad is a dyed in the wool shitlib who used to support Clinton but the reporting is so bad he basically won't even turn on ANY news station unless he has to.
The "Biased to Trump" meme was started by Clinton fanatics who won't get any shit done because they never do.
Even if by some miracle the people were convinced and flipped on the TV reality would assert itself the moment they listened to what any anchor had to say.
Hudson Allen

Its just another tactic. Case in point where he let hillary say sorry about the emails, a move that bill did and was successful at. Furthermore it allowed hillary to avoid most of the policy questions that she couldn't answer because she has no real policy besides muh russians and more obama.
The liberals are bellyaching to cause a useless stir. They want people to point at Trump and ignore that hillary got away again. Meanwhile lauer kept demanding Trump get specific for his plans.
Parker Wright
He was in military school but it doesn't make him a veteran, he would have had to actually join the military after graduating to be one.

Luis Edwards

Nolan Wright
It's important to understand that this entire thing was set up by MSNBC with no precedent and was clearly just an attempt to make Hillary look good to a bunch of army officers.
What they didn't count on was Trump actually winning the coin toss but deciding to go second anyway. The probable expectation was that either he'd take the initiative and go first or Clinton would win and go second. That way they could hit him hard first then have Clinton throw accusations out with no way to refute them. But by forcing Clinton to go first all he had to do was follow the act he knew she couldn't perform well.
They also didn't vet their attendees very well. By having someone at Benghazi there it was basically a death sentence because while she was clearly prepared to spin emails for a bit she couldn't handle being thrown for a loop point blank. They also didn't expect two or three different email questions and for Hillary not to have her story locked down from all angles.
They also picked the attendees they did vet VERY poorly. If you swapped Trump and Clinton questions she'd have done super well. But they wanted to have the women attack Trump to seem legitimate and didn't expect him to have an actual answer for them. They probably also expected the asian dude to be a polite token dude who'd softball way more than he did, since Clinton is meant to poll well with Minorities, not expecting him to be a heavily westernized asian sharing the militaries intense disdain for Clinton and general approval of Trump.

I was surprised at how decent a job Lauer did. While he was a bit tougher on Trump, he was a lot tougher on Clinton than I expected he would be.
The media freak out towards Lauer isn't because he did a poor job or because he was really biased, or because he was soft on Trump. It's because he didn't just roll over for Clinton.
It's mainly a warning shot to other journalists that anyone who questions Clinton with any level of strength will face a huge amount of pain for doing so, be it social or career consequences.
Also, as another user eloquently put it, it is triangulation as well.

Which also explains why Johnson isn't doing as well as some would expect. Johnson looks droopy and low energy and if he had vitality that might distract from him completely rat-fucking his own policies.
It says a lot about this election that Jill Stein is the second highest energy candidate in the race. She may be an idiot who glorifies criminals but at least she can get out of bed and graffiti tag THE MAN with them.
In all seriousness though it really fucking says a lot. There were essentially no major presidential candidates who were under 40, or even under 50. Most of them are in their 60's, which is the age when the body really begins to decline and people need to usually retire.
Bill Clinton and Obama, the last two liberal presidents, got elected solely because they were relatively young when they ran and gave off a sense of vitality and charisma. Neither one of them was past their 40's and with enough make-up and practice could at least feign energy and charisma.
Hillary is a complete fucking reversal of everything conventional wisdom says makes a good liberal president. She's a full 20 years older than Obama was in 2008 and it shows, badly. She had a decade on him then and even the liberal media used that against her.

In fact, thinking about this a bit further, the idea of Clinton getting elected fairly is fucking ludicrous.
I mean you have a party that's spent the last 20 years crafting the image that it's populated by hot young bucks who can do what they want and act cool. Then they collapse the economy and throw everyone under the bus and when they want power again they send out an old woman who's been blown out by every other candidate every other time and lambasted by anyone with a brain and have her cry for "proven leadership".
What the democrats need come 2020 is their own Donald Trump. Some media star who's barely in his 40's who can blast the Clintons for easy points and say outrageous shit to his existing audience for easy votes.
Daniel Martin
I think that was more like a reform school for rich kids. Rich people would send their misbehaving sons to military academy (high school) where tough sergeants would hammer some sense into them. Trump says it was very good for him and taught him not be an egotistical jerk.
Lucas Cruz
Well I didn't watch the whole thing, but I think it's more likely they set out to make some spicy television. They probably hoped to get one or both candidates stammering or angry on air. I assume they prescreened the people and chose the most anti-Trump for Trump and the most anti-Hil for Hillary. Leaving out the utter idiots of course.
Jayden Garcia
Are you not aware of the emails? Clinton literally sends scripts to MSNBC if I recall correctly. The guy running the questions is a Clinton donor.

The left loves to say bullshit about how both parties are for the military and how the republicans always try to make care for the vets a partisan issue which is why they're not doing this. Meanwhile they're always the first to cut veteran benefits and force draw downs. Which is why you'll see a larger percentage of non-whites in the military voting republican than democrat than is typical of the larger population. They're still voting gibs, its just that their gibs don't come from democrats.
William Murphy
But he did attack Trump. He had desperately quote-mined for anything to use against Trump.
Levi Cooper
the fact that they didn't have anyone groomed as a replacement for Obama is very telling and a "Trump of the left" isn't even remotely feasible in the currentyear climate they've created, and if it is, it would be the same John Oliver-tier I'm-rubber-your-glue that got them into this mess to begin with.
People are done with left-wing politics and Trump made the breakthrough because he found a way to communicate with demoralized, politically illiterate normies who are frustrated with trannies and refugees but haven't had an outlet until now.

I honestly don't think the issue is that Lauer was soft on Trump and hard on Clinton at all.
What really happened is that Trump is such an alpha male that Lauer coulnd't get agro if he wanted to. Lauer knew his place as the beta in that conversation. You can't stump the Trump, the dude is an NLP wizard/verbal judo master.
Clinton on the other hand is a woman and it's easy to alpha a situation like that. If she had put her foot down she would come off as a bitch it would look terrible for her image so she had no other choice but let him talk over her, etc.
Ethan Turner
She did and did. He was trying to move her along and she almost screamed at him "LET ME FINISH SHITLORD"
Jaxon Watson
The thing is an honest veteran or active duty member can understand exactly what Trump's doing when it comes to criticizing the Iraq/Afghanistan disasters. They've seen it firsthand and know he's right. It was a ruinously expensive adventure all for nothing. He's mainly shitting directly on the civilian leadership with a few jabs thrown in at some of the top generals.
As for direct attacks on "hero" service members like McCain and the dead Captain, once again vets and much of the general public know those clowns and their families are grandstanding and using their status to push fucked up agendas nobody wants.
Jonathan Bailey
Vet here, can confirm. When I talk to other vets, sometimes they puff their chest and go on about the righteousness of the wars, but a few minutes of discussion and questions that strip away the built-up defenses and most do get it. Some are un-saveable, but the ones who are on the right side of the IQ bell curve and are intellectually honest do absolutely get it.
Hunter Richardson
Lauer was actually the most unbiased interviewer/moderator we've seen in months. He hit them both with tough questions.
But Hillary is so used to being coddled and the media is so used to softballing her that when they see a real interview they freak the fuck out.
I feel bad for Lauer, really. He's always been a blue softie but this was his biggest chance yet, and he tried to make it as a real interviewer. He picked the wrong time and place though. Everyone could see Hillary was droning on and on stalling for time and he was trying to get her to wrap up and move on, while she rudely dismissed him. You can be damn sure as soon as she left that floor she made calls to trash that guy's career.
Maybe Trump will take him in.

I think some of that attitude stems from the hangover of the Vietnam war when vets really were being shit on and stigmatized. The military's reputation was rehabilitated by the mid-80's but unfortunately that turned into rah-rah they can do no wrong.
Somehow we now have any legitimate criticism of the military establishment and its civilian leadership conflated with a direct attack on veterans. It's just not the case and the dumbfucks pushing that angle know it.

Yep. I think the "Vietnam Hangover" is a bit of an embarrassment for people on both sides of the political spectrum, so when 9/11 happened, everyone jumped on the bandwagon SO FAR in the other direction; (EVERY vet is a HERO, etc.), that it got kinda silly. Most vets get it and I know I personally feel weird and sometimes a little uncomfortable when someone thanks me for my service or something.
That said, there are some mouthbreathers that absolutely act like the quoted part. ANY criticism of questioning of the military, their practices, methods or how they are being used is utterly shut the fuck down. For some, its a defense mechanism because they know the war was a sham and they had buddies get killed or maimed for no reason, and they have to convince themselves otherwise or they'll go crazy. Others are just that fucking dumb.
I got out after my first hitch because I saw the scam, I questioned too much, and quite honestly, I was a little too smart and too skeptical/critical of things to be a career military man.

They're just mad that he was fairly equally tough with both of them, and in the end Trump handled it much better. Hillary was a mess. She's clearly used to being pandered to. They're probably also mad that Lauer didn't have pre-planned powerpoint slides to attack Trump like CNN did at GOP debates.
They likely wan't this interview to be de-legitimized in the public eye, so if anyone references any part of it as a positive for Trump or negative for Hillary, shills can just spout "but Lauer is a sexist meanie bigot so none of it mattered"
Brayden Gomez
now I never said the spics would be the ones doing the burning now did I?
Noah Hill
I think there's also another dynamic to this. Lefties will believe anything the media tells them about Trump, and for months now they've been spoon-fed a ton of garbage that is either flat out wrong or completely taken out of context. This would include hacking up speeches to send a completely different message or just misrepresentation of Trump's views (i.e. Trump hates immigrants when he is really against illegal immigrants). I suspect that they think Lauer was going soft on Trump because the questions did not include some of those off-base accusations. Either that means Lauer was being honest, or, more likely, that the media absolutely did not want to bring that stuff up on a platform where Trump can actually refute it and bring their shenanigans to light.
I'd be interested to know if Lauer came up with the questions himself or was given them.
Jace Hall
Lets face it Obama had eight years to come up with a replacement. If he really cared he'd have been scouring every small town mayor in his 20's or early 30's and spent that time grooming him he could have scratch built an apprentice out of thousands of candidates. Or he could have scoured congress and the senate for someone good enough.
The fact that he spent all this time basically fucking around and it now concerned with his legacy is indeed telling.
Matthew Hall
The closest thing the had to a "Trump of the Left" was Sanders, and they ratfucked him out of the nomination with vote rigging, media control and superdelegates to fulfill the backroom deal made for Hillary back in 2008, shooting themselves in the foot in the process.
Evan Hall
The thing about questions like these is they're actually SUPER EASY to get out of. You just go muh dead soldiers and say nobody else should die on your watch and suddenly you're a noble compassionate hero. It's an instant response that uses pre established narratives to turn you from a screw up into a hero and I guarantee every shitlib from Schultz's backyard in florida to a dispensary in Colorado would be using it to virtue signal on social media.
Which is exactly what Trump did when confronted with the idea of damaged veterans. He promised to help instantly and laid out how, and made it clear he did his homework.
Robert Howard
I think "trump of the left" may be a bit of a misleading title.
Again, the entire idea of a typical leftist president has been thrown on his hair. The last two presidents they've elected have been young bucks with a full head of hair, a good charismatic media presence, and a hobby to make them look approachable(Bill Clinton plays the saxophone, Barak Obama waves around a toy lightsaber). People want a liberal president who looks like he "gets it", even if he's in reality a middle aged man who gives no fucks about them.
Clinton could NEVER be that. She's two decades older than the "ideal" leftist candidate and if you check her hobbies she looks like a grandmother because all she does is play scrabble and garden. Her body is so decrepit you'd never get that kind of media performance out of her.
Trump is basically the Bill Clinton of the left, if for some reason you don't want to use the Raegan analogy. He's hip, he's with it, he's an early adopter of the reigning social media, he's been on TV enough to have a good stage presence. When you see him with Mike Pence, a guy he's probably never had two conversations with before this, they have an instant chemistry that most directors spend years searching for in their actors. Obviously he's 70 years old and his hobby is golf, like a bunch of other old men, but he was able to effectively fake the image so well that doesn't really matter.
Even if it had to be Clinton for corruption reasons, they could have at least gotten a diet Obama to act as VP.

I thought Lauer attacked Trump plenty, but it wasn't anything too dishonest. I'm surprised that Lauer did that Iraq war question bit, a glimmer of honest journalism in a morass of shit. Funny that he bit the hand that feeds his masters so likely he's going to be covering county fairs for the rest of his career.
Brandon Jenkins
Actually, Trump had a long, private meeting with Pence back in March (IIRC). I remember reading the article on TheConservativeTreehouse, people thought perhaps he was seeking his endorsement. Trump had been vetting him for VP well before even the Indiana primary where he K.O.'d Cruz (then Kasich the day after).
Samuel Jackson
Nigger, get real.
Sanderstein was in on it from the start - he got to rake in a bunch of shekels and promote socialism, knowing he was always going to lose.
Stop trying to paint the Bolshevik Jew as a victim - he was in on it.
Nicholas Jenkins
After I wouldn't be surprised to see him overcome with grief and commit suicide by six bullets to the back of the head then climbing over a barbed wire fence and choking himself with his bare hands before throwing his lifeless corpse into a river.

Truly a tragic case of acute Clinton auto-necrosis.

You want to know the real secret?
Even the Jews are slaves.
They serve the rabbis, who are unto God - a rabbi even defeated God in a debate once, according to the rabbis.
The normative Jews are just one step up on the slavery ladder.
… Not that this should make you despise them any less, mind you - they still want to see you become their slaves - but they are, themselves, slaves to those above them, to the elite of Jewry, the high-roller merchants and the rabbis themselves.
And a master is never satisfied with a slave who has failed.

wtf was moot doing there?
Logan Thomas
I never had real malice for Lauer. I figured he was just a basic bitch bluepill who talks about the giant cookie eating contest on Good Morning America. Obviously there's the judaism thing but he clearly wasn't in on the plan here, or he just doesn't want to get oven'd when the time comes.

Them attacking Lauer is proof that Hilldog got stomped, it was fair and square, and there's nothing they can do except scream "UNFAIR!"
Lucas Lewis
I just lost the game.
Blake Scott
Small town minority mayor, jeezus yer a laugh riot. No offense but throughout this thread you write like you've just come here from Time Magazine.
The establishment is is intellectually spent. Kaput.
They've so wrecked society there are no articulate, successful and willing candidates other than literally Hitler that have any chance.
Glib Bill playing a saxophone on Arsenio or the smoove talking high-yellow Obama or some chump like Yeb blubbering about acts of love simply doesn't cut it with the electorate anymore. And those are the experienced and connected types of candidates who've been able to wrangle their way into higher offices.

They're beginning to sweat, again.
Democrats wonder and worry: Why isn’t Clinton far ahead of Trump?
What's she gonna do, cough on somebody and give them her creeping crud? fuck that.
Ayden Campbell
are you kidding? I was foaming at the mouth during that shit, it was 30 minutes of logical fallacies and bait

Fuck you, oranges are delicious and packed with vitamin C, and fiber. MORAL FIBER.
Joshua Jackson
Lauer just got JournoListed/GameJournosProed. They made an example of him as a warning to future debate hosts. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clinton campaign was directly behind it.
Alexander Sullivan
Yeah "Trumpkins" don't care about lists of people mysteriously dying around a political candidate.
Wyatt Johnson
Oh really?
I'm willing to wager that graduates of military academies are 1000x more suitible to be CiC. Completing the courses at a military academy might be considered military experience…

Ok the "Trump has no military experience" meme is now dead.

Dude, do you honestly think anybody wants anything to do with another Bush in this, the [CURRENT YEAR]. Dude, I despise Hillary with the heat of a thousand suns but even i'd vote her over another Bush. Anyone who thinks Guac bowl had a shot was fucking delusional. There's a reason not even Jeb! himself claimed his family name during his campaign.
Cameron Phillips
You answered your own question. Liberals live in their safe space echo chambers, this was them getting a taste of reality, and it didn't feel too good, nossirree, it didn't feel good at all.
They know what's coming now, they can feel it in their bones, and they're afraid.

there's bull-dyke volunteers, I mean vets, that support Trump at one of the call centers I've seen.
