It
seemed that last night's debate moderator, Lester Holt, had neither the guts
nor the political inclination to put the screws to 'ole Donald Trump when the
moment called for it. So, for the purpose of clarification, I'm happy to ask
the questions that Holt The Dolt should have asked:
"You,
Mr. Trump, say that we shouldn't let jobs leave our shores; do these include
the jobs you shipped overseas to manufacturer your extensive line of
"Trump-wear?"
"Do
you really think, Mr. Trump, that income tax evasion makes you look smart – or
just criminal?"
"Maybe
you're right, Mr. Trump, that it may be time that this country was run by
someone who knows something about money. Considering that you've lost more
money than you've made over your lifetime … can you recommend someone?"
"Would
it really be possible for you, Mr. Trump – the king of debt – to lead us out
of the 'debtor nation' status you say we're in?"
"Mr.
Trump, you say you have the right temperament to be president … just for
clarification, could you please repeat that statement with a straight face?"
There was no relief in sight this morning amid the talk shows, in particular
when Trump's Campaign Manager, Kellyanne Conway, expressed relief that Trump was
able to "show restraint" last night. Which was great – first time for
everything. But what happens when at some point he DOESN'T show restraint and
the provocateur is not Hillary Clinton, but instead one of the nuke-toting,
hot-headed dictators from around the globe?
Just
wondering.
