12. The format was wrong

It should have been all questions from veterans about veteran issues.

Major problem was him starting out on emails. I'm almost glad he did it because no one can say Hillary refused to answer, but it took half of her time.

I think he did it to prove he would be hard on Hillary as he planned to be on Trump. However he wasn't hard enough on Trump.

Do some googling on Lauer's recent personal life.

The Today show is going to suffer.

He should not have gotten involved with this forum.
