Does she have a strategy along these lines.....at least to deal with Trump when he starts doing it?
Inquiring minds, and all that

(28,795 posts)Lester will be thinking twice about what a similarly embarrassing performance might do to his cushy career
that is, unless he's following the orders from on high, which I suspect is what Lauer did

(13,783 posts)If someone wants to ignore the question and talk about their own topic, even when called on it by the moderator, what recourse does the moderator have? Unfortunately a lot of what we do is dependent on civilized behavior.... Really unfortunately.
