"Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook said:
'It's unfair to ask that Hillary Clinton both play traffic cop with Trump, make sure that his lies are corrected, and also to present her vision for what she wants to do for the American people.'

The Clinton team is concerned that the moderator, Lester Holt of NBC, will toss simpler 'softball' questions in Trump's direction while pressing Clinton with a much more challenging interrogation."

2 things: is it not great that this guy's name is Mook? And also, what in the ever-loving gently caress.

Seems kinda lose-lose from that perspective. Clinton gets softballs? Less opportunities to go deep on policy. Trump doesn't get softballs? More opportunities for enormous derails, leading to less opportunities to go deep on policy. Both get softballs? Audience bored. Neither get softballs? Audience confused. Best case for Clinton is apparently also worst case for Clinton, with Trump getting a pass and her getting nailed.

No, I know what it is, I was just drawing attention to it. It's the oldest trick in the book, accuse your opponent of what you're going to be doing.
