So it begins

I sure hope Lester Holt is better prepared to host the first Presidential debate on Sept. 26 than the hapless Matt Lauer was last night to host the "Commander in Chief" forum.   After spending a third of Hillary's  time focusing on e-mails, he basically allowed Trump to run him over.  Instead of elementary fact checking, he cheerfully moved on to another question answered with more word salad by master chef Trump.  To me, it seemed like Clinton came off as prepared for prime time and Trump like he just came out of a local bar and used the early evening drunks as his debate prep.  How anyone could think he came off well is a testament to how far the GOP has fallen.  Although, when you think about recent Republican presidents from Nixon through the Shrub, the standards are already pretty low.
