The Rules of Debate

[rogue06]

And yet they seem to be accommodating Hillary wrt to the height difference. That is equivalent to altering reality to create a false perception. What concession will they be making to Trump?

I wonder if the "no breaks" was something that Trump got so that Hillary could have her "booster podium"

[rogue06]

You sure about that? One lie by Clinton about emails, followed by moderator pointing it out, then she lies more about her lying, then more factchecking, then lie about lying about the lying etc etc will turn into hours-long grilling. There is limit on time!!

The Clinton team seems to think that the fact checking ought to be entirely one-sided with the moderator correcting Trump and leaving Hillary to say what she wants

Note how they aren't requesting that Holt fact check both candidates but only Trump

[demi-conservative]

Surely making sure both candidates don't both actively lie during the savaged is a good thing?

Executive Director of debate speaks common sense!!

Which is why I describe it as Hillary throwing in the towel, because she's basically admitting that she can't beat Trump on a level playing field.

Although I think if Trump plays his cards right, this "fact check" nonsense could easily blow up in Hillary's face. The first time she tells a lie (which will be within approximately 3-seconds of her opening her mouth), he can smile, turn to the moderator, and say, "Can we get a fact check on that please?" It'll get a laugh from the audience, it'll catch Hillary off guard, and it'll make a mockery of the whole "fact check" gambit.

Hillary isn't asking for the same standard, she's asking the moderator to help her beat Trump.

Hope you have your tin foil hat ready there MM.

This isn't tinfoil hat nuttery, you dolt. Have you even read the statements from the Clinton campaign? They have explicitly called on the moderator to "fact check" Trump in order to give Hillary more time to talk about her agenda.

Kind of a no-win situation
