when matt lauer was fair and balanced. hitting hillary clinton on the server issues, the clinton foundation and potential corruption there. he got the wind knocked out of him from the full on assault from the mainstream media. what lester holt did was not incorrect. what was incorrect is he didn't ask them of hillary clinton. you can't ask about his tax returns, views on the iraq war, the birther issue without turning around and asking her about benghazi and the service. >> there was no attempt on the part of lester holt to be handed, to be fair, to be balanced in his moderation of that debate. by the way, as a result i truly believe donald trump got a lot of votes that night. because it was so obvious what holt was doing that the american public saw it. let me turn to donald trump and this line of attack that he's on. follow the money. he's back to his populus roots in this campaign. he is attacking the establishment. he is putting it straightforwardly, who is getting screwed by the system, what the system is rigged, and
