Hofstra University: Stand up to Trump! Keep Lester Holt as a moderator!

Hofstra University: Stand up to Trump! Keep Lester Holt as a moderator!

The Issue

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

It has been well known for some time that Donald J. Trump, the Republican candidate for the Presidency, has raised many objections to the current debate schedule over the past several months, often based on the most spurious & trivial objections.

And now, he is demanding that Lester Holt, a well-respected anchor for NBC News, be removed as a moderator, just because he thinks that the debates will be "rigged", in favor of a system with no moderators at all.

Here's the issue: one of Donald Trump's real main issues, is that he just can't handle being fact-checked. And Lester Holt has been one of those moderators willing to be assertive with Trump, as this Washington Post article shows us:

Will you sign this petition? NBC News and Hofstra University must stand firm; they must not allow Mr. Trump to bully them, simply because he can't handle the pressure. And if enough people can get the word out, we can show the world that we will not stand for Trump's temper tantrums.
