-- The reviews are in, and last night’s biggest loser was Matt Lauer. No one is happy with the host of NBC’s “Today” show, who interviewed each presidential candidate back-to-back for 30 minutes during the network's “Commander-in-Chief Forum” in prime time.
The most galling moment came when Donald Trump repeated his demonstrably false claim that he was “totally against the war in Iraq,” and Lauer never pressed him on it.
-- Trump has proved adept at not letting interlocutors nail him down on specifics, which will be frustrating for moderators who don’t want to be the center of attention. He has claimed for months that he has a secret plan to destroy ISIS, but he would not reveal it. Then on Tuesday night he said he’ll give the generals 30 days to come up with a plan once he takes office. Pressed last night on the apparent contradiction, he said he will compare his secret plan to what the generals bring him and come up with the best approach. “You don’t give plans because you want to be unpredictable,” he told Lauer. “I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is.”
-- He also makes simple proclamations and then just repeats them over and over again when pressed. “If we would have taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS,” he declared last night. Not one credible expert on the Middle East would agree with that. The Donald does not care.
