Donald Trump's main opponent in the first presidential debate wasn't Hillary Clinton. It was NBC anchor Lester Holt. Hillary, with forced smiles as brittle as china and an eerie fake laugh, continued her primary debate strategy of repeating canned talking points while waiting for the moderator to knock off her opponent. Hillary wasn’t there to debate, but to once again seem like the only possible option.
Trump was hit with repeated personal attacks and gotcha questions by Holt, who then took to arguing with him over the facts.
But Holt’s overt bias also proved to be his undoing. Holt made his agenda clear at the outset. And it also made him easy to ignore, as Trump frequently did.
