Yeah, I like that there are two moderators for the town hall.

Although I'm worried Lester Holt won't put Trump's feet to the fire.

Lester Holt and Anderson Cooper are great, but I thought FOX fired Wallace? Where does he work now?

I thought Matt Lauer from the Clinton Foundation was "moderating" the first debate.  Trump would've had fun with that one.

He was never going to be picked. He got picked for the 30 Q&A session about national security on Wednesday. Its billed as a forum or debate but it will basically be two back to back q&a's with them never being on the stage at the same time.

Very sad to see that we've apparently decided to start treating Anderson Cooper as a serious journalist.

HC, except for Chris Wallace.

Leftist Lestor Holt and Gloria Vanderbilt's son are hacks.

Who they really need to bring in is Hannity, Limbaugh and Coulter. They would be fair moderators. It is very important that the moderators are fair to Trump.

As if Trump will show up. He's not going to stand for being questioned by a black person or a woman.

Unfortunately he's the best CNN has to offer. The Democrats and Republicans in this commission probably thought it would be a great idea for all the major news networks to be represented in the name of being "fair and balanced".

What's so bad about him as a moderator?

It is either him or Tapper from CNN.

I think Cooper will be great in a town hall setting.

Lester Holt is about as black as Keanu Reeves is Asian.
