Did Hillary miss the part where he said let's not attack Trump?

She seemed angry there, not assertive. Hillary has about as much charisma as a thorny bush. Good answers though, it's just the optics that were off.

So far Trump has been asked two questions and rambled incoherently amounting to nothing that resembled an answer.

Agreed. She's the equivalence of screeching chalk on a chalkboard.

Well, to be fair, he did imply our current generals are clueless and spineless.

I try to be well informed, I really do. Part of being well informed is to listen to the source, not have someone tell you what they said.

Listening to Trump gives me a headache. I try to listen to him but it's so incoherent and frankly, stupid.

After every answer he gave, I felt like Matt was thinking this:

This was supposed to be about what HE would do, not what President Obama has done. At no time did he ever answer with what he would do other than to say it would be great.

That was a microcosm of this election. Hillary was annoying and Trump was moronic.

And that he'd replace them??

Commander-In-Chief Forum - NBC News

Talking with Vets about impressions about candidates.

How can NBC let Matt Layer, a notable member of the Clinton foundation, moderate this forum?

Journalism keeps hitting lows after lows.

And how can Republicans be so dumb?

I thought Lauer was fair. It's almost impossible in this day and age to get someone without some appearance of bias.

 

[SWJJ]

It's all fixed already. None of this matters.

He took a dump on our military and at the same time praised Putin. As a retired Vet, I cannot express how much that ****** me off.

I am sure it's happened, but when has there ever been a question of pecuniary interest/bias by a moderator of a general election forum for President?

I didn't get to watch the forum, only caught a few highlights. What I caught was him saying he had a plan for ISIS, but since he has such a big chance to win, he doesn't want to reveal it. Then, if the Generals had a good idea, he'd maybe pick that or part of that. But, he'd likely replace all the generals, because he knows more than they do about ISIS.. or that Obama and Clinton have "crushed" the military leaders of our country. I'm not sure which it was.

Basically, he knew he didn't mean that, but he knew he couldn't back track out of what he said.

A fair follow up question would be "Mr. Trump, are you suggesting you'd replace multiple generals and admirals in our military with new ones?" I'm not sure how common that is for assignments. We currently have 39 4 star generals and admirals. Would they all be out of a job?

Also, in order to infilitrate or get good recon on ISIS, isn't it important to have native speakers in the military? Is he afraid his politices about Muslims world wide may have a negative impact on our recon and intelligence capabilities in the middle east by driving out those soldiers or future soldiers?
