I was wrong about Lester Holt.

[RandySF]

I expected him to put him thumb on the scale for Trump, but he didn't. He was tough fair and actually held Don the Con accountable.

1. when he decided to participate. nt

[True Dough]

6. Yup, too passive too often n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

9. I thought that too. Lester Holt could have piped in a few times & not let Cheeto run his mouth

So excessively.

[Gothmog]

2. Lester fact checked trump on his support for the war in Iraq

I love it

[dhol82]

3. Not as much as I had hoped for

Let the orange one carry on way too long on certain questions.

[anamandujano]

4. Much more than any of us expected!

[dhol82]

5. What low expectations.

[True Dough]

8. Definitely! n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. Trump hung himself

Letting him babble was the best thing that could have happened.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Yep.

[canetoad]

16. Agree

Enough rope.

[dflprincess]

11. Holt could have done better

but maybe letting Trump run amok wasn't a bad idea.

[tandem5]

13. Brian Williams won't be getting his old job back tonight, but there's always tomorrow.

Talking heads must earn their keep everyday!

[JCMach1]

14. expect Trump to attack Holt and NBC in 3-2-1

[Bucky]

15. Holt held back when he could, injected only when necessary. Any more insertions would appear biased

Thing about being moderator is, you have to be moderate. Holt did it perfectly. At some point you have to trust that the voters can see the flaws in the candidates without the refs laying out the final tallies.

I expect Holt to be excoriated by Fox and all its wanna be clones.
