NBC News’ Lester Holt had his “Candy Crowley” moment at the first debate of the 2016 presidential election on Monday night, bowing to pressure from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the liberal media by “fact-checking” Republican nominee Donald Trump on the question of his support for the Iraq War.
Holt lived up to the expectations of his peers. But he lived down to the worst expectations of conservatives, who routinely see Republican candidates treated unfairly by debate moderators.
Again and again, Holt asked Trump tough questions that were straight from the Clinton campaign’s talking points, and which were obvious set-ups for Clinton to attack (and for fact-checkers to pounce on whatever Trump asserted in his own defense).
Here are the five worst examples.

With terrorism, international relations, the Middle East, the economy, the state of our infrastructure, racial tensions, a $20 trillion national debt, the fact that a presidential candidate was under CRIMINAL investigation, etc., and Holt asks a question about obama's place of birth????
I WISH Trump had asked Holt the very question I just posed.
Trump let her off so easily, I was wondering what his plan was....
He better tighten her up on the next go-round.
This is an "all in" affair. She is what military people call "target rich".
Rip her heart out and leave it beating on the stage. Figuratively speaking, of course, for all the sheeple waiting to call the Secret Service.
Keep cheering.
