Therefore, they can't see Trump's flaws because they have been trained (like Pavlov's dogs) not to believe even reputable journalists.

Unless Breitbart or the National Enquirer said it, don't trust it.
Can't remember. Too much wine, too long ago. But, it would not have been Snope's or Wikipedia.

I was just joking with you in the spirit of the thread.

And I would suspect that is the case here.
It's a question of trust and most people just don't trust Holt.
Wow, Holt must have really planned ahead for it, then. He just knew that trump would run for president someday as a republican - even tho trump was a pretty clear democrat back in 2003. And, Holt must have worked really hard to make sure he was going to get picked as a moderator, too. Switched his allegiance back in 2003 just for the things that are happening to trump today.

Most people just don't trust Holt? Care to back that up with some proof?

In the current state in which I am a registered voter, it turns out that the information is shared... somehow... I know this because I am getting requests to donate to a specific party's candidate's campaign, with my name on the envelope. Not, 'dear voter' - my name. I had to change from 'independent' in order to vote in a closed primary, and the party I chose clearly found out I was resitered with them.

"The person trump singled out' is a moderator. That trump said he can't be fair to trump because he is a democrat (when he is actually a republican) is just because trump is stoopid. Not 'convenient'... stoopid.

Trump says no moderator needed. They will moderate themselves.

That would be a first for Trump. He and Roger Ailes have this in the bag.

True, because you can see it right here.

Hey, if they can do it with Obama's birth then they do it with Holt.

Trump bots live in their own little bubble where facts are meaningless. If they say something over and over again, it then becomes fact.

I'll let you all in on a little secret. It'll probably get me killed or disappeared, but whatever, making sure City Data folks get the truth is more important than any one person's life, so here goes:

Area 51 is not a place where they hide aliens. It's a place where the democrat party hides their time machine. Once Lester Holt was chosen to moderate the debate and Trump complained that he was a democrat, he got the call from Dem headquarters for a mission to go back in time and register as a republican.

Think about it.

If I haven't posted again within the next 10 minutes, it means someone from the future read my post and came back to get me.
