Debate Rules Being Set by Hillary Donors

The men and women who run the supposedly “nonpartisan” Commission on Presidential Debates have put their money where their mouths are — and it all has gone to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The amount of money is small by the standards of a modern presidential campaign, but it is one-sided. A pair of Ph.D. candidates at Stanford University examined campaign finance reports and found that all of the $5,650 in contributions that commission members have made to presidential candidates during this election season have gone to Clinton.

Republican Donald Trump, who will meet Clinton in the first debate a week from Monday, received no donations from debate commission members. Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, who both learned Friday that they will be shut out of the first debate, also received nothing.

The GOP has done nothing to prosecute Obama and Hillary cant believe all these years of the Clinton foundation and not until Mr Trump we find all the corruption.

It is a set up and if I were Trump I would demand equal (Dem & GOP) participants in setting the rules or not participate.
