1. A Ratings Bonanza to be sure

[SummerSnow]

2. When is Rachel Maddow going to do one. She would be awesome

[Old and In the Way]

27. Trump would never accept Maddow.

She'd ask hardball questions of both candidates. Hillary would have no problems, Trump would be terrified.

[ffr]

3. Now this will be something worth watching!

Don't want to give away the plot, but it's going to be like having your cake and eating it too.

[Ineeda]

4. Apparently they'll be

"back to back" which indicates NOT on the stage at the same time. Odd wording (or deliberately deceptive promotion), and a total of an hour is hardly enough time for anything remotely comprehensive. Or am I misunderstanding?

[Old and In the Way]

29. Meaningless, then.

I won't waste my time watching this. Trump won't debate, NBC capitulates.

[Person 2713]

5. When will there be a debate?

[frazzled]

6. Is he really a journalist?

I mean, he's a pleasant fellow, but I see him more as an interviewer-host than a hard-core journalist.

[underpants]

13. Trump's buddies at the National Enquirer has a Lauer-cocaine cover this week

You can't avoid seeing it at the grocery store checkout.

[milestogo]

31. Here ya go.

7. Never liked him

always tacks to the right

This is a headline grabbing non-event

[Ellipsis]

8. ... brought to you by by the all caps division of NBC

[OnDoutside]

9. Matt F**king Loser !!! Give us a break ! I have a bad feeling in my waters for this one. He's a

turkey, I doubt he will be capable of controlling Trump.

[underpants]

10. I'll be interested to see how he works new kitchen gadgets and pasta salad recipes into this

Our media is an embarrassment

[OnDoutside]

12. Are they lightweight gadgets ?

[underpants]

14. Ouch!

Well done.

[old guy]

11. The fact that he is the choice

proves it is not a real event. It is fluff entertainment Today style crap fest led by a Today crap fest host. NBC has tried for years to make people accept Liar, oops, Lauer as a journalist, but with limited or no real success.

[Big Blue Marble]

15. I think you just said it all! N/T

[Sophiegirl]

16. Kathy Lee

Would make a better moderator!!!

[GeorgeGist]

22. Hell, Kathy Griffin would be better.

[rurallib]

28. at least she'd make fun of Trump's -uh- hands

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. "Commander-in-Chief Forum" sounds rather self-important

Just call it 'Presidential', for goodness' sake.

[dmosh42]

18. Since we know Matt F---ing Lauer will be mod, expect Comrade Trump to be well prepped!

[BumRushDaShow]

19. "expect Comrade Trump to be well prepped!"

The minute he starts ranting and raving against NATO is the minute he loses a whole segment of the dedicated GOP population. But then again, chances are 100% that he what he flips at that forum, he will flop at some campaign event the next day.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. I can't stand Matt Lauder.

[Eagle_Eye]

21. When Trump looses, he will blame "Lauer's Liberal bias"

All the Trump supporters are crafting their next meme showing the debate was 'rigged' against him.

[Rebl]

23. You would think

they would choose Savanna Guthrie since she used to be on MSNBC and has much more experience covering politics. I would prefer Rachel myself.

[Greywing]

24. I think I would rather see Joy Reid moderate (eom)

[doc03]

26. What kind of event is this? Are they both on the same time like a debate? Are there going to

be two separate forums back to back?

[milestogo]

30. Lauer has prepared for this by interviewing intellectual heavyweight Ryan Lochte.

[liberal N proud]

32. From Olympic puff pieces to Trump pampering
