Debate commission: Trump had audio 'issues'

This is one of the reasons I fear a Trump presidency. His attention span after her gets in office and all the "excitement" fades away.

You mean, "Trump has mentioned it several times" AFTER the debate was over and Clinton had eaten his lunch. If some technical issue was really bothering him in the moment, a savvy speaker would know to toss off something like, "Lester, just to let you know, I'm having difficulty with [fill in the blank]. I don't want to hold up the proceedings, but maybe you could pass that along to the tech folks behind the scenes. Maybe it's a simple fix. Anyway let's move on...To answer your question...."

That would be the difference between a big boy who can deal with stuff on his feet (assuming this issue even affected him at all) and a big cry baby cum conspiracy theorist.

This. He didn't say a word at the time. And he's not known for being shy or accepting or forgiving.

Dude, you don't want to be on the side of Lester Holt. He's been totally discredited.

Come to think of it, I did hear he's a Republican.

Notice how CNN is being non-committal and trying to minimize this problem. The commission proves that Trump was correct, and his detractors can now eat ****.

Is this really a big deal? His poor debate performance wasn't exactly due to microphone issues.

Why is it the people who support the party in favor of personal responsibility always blame others and make excuses for Trump whenever he doesn't come off looking like the greatest winner in the world?
Something goes wrong: it Hillary's fault or the media or Obama or Miss Universe or (place anyone Trump rants against here)
The guy did a lousy job and no sound issues can explain that away.

No one is disputing that, there was discussion on this board about whether there really was a mic problem.

It didnt matter to the actual people watching the debate. The few in the hall were told to not make noise. And the rest of us (as in the entire nation) had no clue that there was a problem at all. We could all hear in the same as Mrs Clinton.

So its just Trump whining like a baby again. I have to say though that Trump is whiniest presidential candidate I have ever seen. He is always complaining that things are not fair. What happened to his tough business man persona? I guess it was all just a performance.

And Hillary is the most crooked, corrupt candidate. I'll take Trump if I have to choose.

Ok, if thats your choice go for it. Personally; I dont care who you are voting for or why. If you remember that used to be the American way; to not ask who someone else is voting for.

My point though was that, the debate wasnt just for the audience in the place where the debate took place. If Trump thought that the actual audience couldnt hear him and assumed that us at home watching him couldnt hear him, why the **** didnt he use some of that leadership skill and address his that fear then? I think that he failed the debate twofold; (1 He was unable to go toe to toe with Mrs. Clinton and was easily led around, reacting in ways that the Clinton team predicted. His 3AM tweets showed the extent of the Clinton teams baiting. He was still falling for it hours later and days later. They trolled his ass and he is too stupid to see that. I expect more out of a potential president. Just imagine him dealing with world leaders, they would easily troll him at every turn. Then he would whine about it and say that it wasnt fair. He would say that it was rigged. Or whatever excuse that he could think of to place blame on someone else. He should own up to these things instead of making lame excuses. 2) He couldnt figure out what to do in a live situation on something as simple as audio problems. As commander in chief he would be faced with much tougher situations than if people can hear what he is saying. I mean come on that was a moron statement, we heard him, all he had to do was ask the moderator. Instead he went on not knowing. It just shows that his paranoia got the best of him.

You expect more? Really? I find that awfully hard to believe if you are defending Hillary Clinton in any way.

Hillary is a incompetent bitch so whats your point? In other words my observations of Trump is not to be taken as support for Mrs Clinton. BTW if pointing at Hillary is your only defense of Trump that is only deflection.

Yeah there were audio issues, the mic keep picking up the stupid things trump said.

And his sniffling....no audio problem there unless maybe he is willing to claim it was too loud....or better yet...maybe claim someone had a mic in the background making that snuffing noise....between the sniffs and his constant interruptions he was heard loud and clear on my end.
