    Very true, even past the surface.

    Policies, points, and lies aside, when it comes down to it from a marketing perspective Trump failed to meet the basic criterion for performance; displaying a Presidential image. He did not appear prepared or well-studied, he did not come off as a particularly informed individual. What was displayed during the debate was an inability to back away from anything that could be perceived as a personal slight, and a lack of decorum, tact, and social graces. Not an image any public personality should display, much less a President.

    Exactly. I have a candidates forum in about a week. I'm running for a city council position and since there will also be county and state candidates there; I anticipate that I will be speaking very little. I guarantee that I've still put in more work than Trump did for that debate.

    1. According to Howard Dean, NBC makes zero such claims.

    2. They're not "spreading" any rumor, they would have to be giving it credibility to do that. They're not. They're reporting that Howard Dean, who is still of public interest (barely) that started a hashtag (which is sadly a newsworthy event nowadays).

    Please don't be one of those people that whines and cries about how the big bad media is so mean to little old thin skinned Trump, who is so innocent and doesn't say those kinds of awful, mean, nasty things he complains about.

    Barely related, I enjoyed Trump verbally patting himself on the back during the debate for not saying something "mean and nasty" about Hillary and her family. I wasn't aware that the bar for presidential behavior was around a second grade level of social interaction.

    Goodluck grabbing up your quid pro quo like your hero. Remember, you need middle men to take the fall.

    Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    To make it front page news, it's spreading rumors.

    Dean will simply say later he was being sarcastic, and Trump voters will have no choice but to accept that.

    It's in their section with all their other news stories about the debate last night, which is on their front page. It's getting the same treatment as Hillary saying she's ready for the next debate, Trump insulting the Miss Universe winner (again) that Hillary mentioned last night, and each candidates "best zingers".

    No, it's putting it with all the other stories they write in their little segment that's on the front page because it's topical. The second 2 more stories come out, it will get pushed off (one story will push off the Miss Universe story, three should push off the 20 fact checks story).

    You can take off the victim hood.

    I mean, it's not like Dean knew if Trump was really on cocaine or not, so it's not lying!

    He's just putting the question out there and letting people make up their own minds.

    Pepsi is not as good as coke, but diet pepsi is better than diet coke.

    It's funny how even when I am not attacking Hillary I still get attacked by the same Hillary bots.

    Who is attacking you? I just said you can take off the victim hood, because you're currently complaining about NBC News...covering the news as if that's unfair or something.

    I found it hilarious, I laughed at it, not putting on a front page of a web site acting like it has legitimacy to it, I posted it in a gaming forum

    Zach Galifianakis Says Donald Trump Won’t Be on ‘Between Two Ferns’ Because He’s ‘Mentally Challenged’

    Zach Galifiankis has two big fall comedies on the horizon — Friday’s “Masterminds” and October’s “Keeping Up With The Jonses” — and he got a major jump on publicity last week thanks to the blockbuster return of his Funny Or Die web series “Between Two Ferns.” Featuring a memorable appearance by Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the episode broke records for the series as it earned more than 30 million views in its first 24 hours. Having Clinton appear on the series was a major get for Galifianakis, and it’s forced everyone to ask if Donald Trump may be next in line. If the host is to be believed, then we shouldn’t hold our breath.

    “No. That doesn’t interest me,” Galifianakis recently told the L.A. Times about hosting Trump on “Between Two Ferns.” “He’s the kind of guy who likes attention — bad attention or good attention. So you’re dealing with a psychosis there that’s a little weird. I wouldn’t have somebody on that’s so mentally challenged. I feel like I’d be taking advantage of him. And you can print that.”


    As for how Clinton landed her much publicized guest appearance on the show, director Scott Auckerman revealed that the nominee’s team actually reached out to do the show, as opposed to Funny Or Die courting her. Clinton was a fan of Obama’s appearance back in 2014 and was eager to film a spot.

    “A lot of times with ‘Between Two Ferns’ if it’s someone in entertainment, their publicist will reach out,” Aukerman told The Daily Beast. “In the case of Obama, the White House reached out, and you never quite know if the person knows that their people are reaching out about it. But in this case, Mrs. Clinton is the one who reached out about doing it, as she was a big fan of the Obama one.”
