Especially since you titled the thread "Rant about the moderators", and later went on to say it was so bad that they should sit them out. Guess I missed the point.
But I agree, he's going to struggle in the debates, and then tweet about how biased it was. He's already blaming the media for his future loss.
I do believe the moderators will attack Trump, especially in the debate with Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper. While the moderators should remain neutral in all political debates, it's the logic of the Republican Party that gets me on this. Raddatz moderated the debate with Paul Ryan and Joe Biden four years ago and did a poor job. This should have been expected, though, considering that Barack Obama was a guest at her wedding. Then you have Anderson Cooper, who has a history of bias in the media. I don't know enough about the others with the exception of Wallace, and given how the debates went in the primaries that he moderated who knows what direction he will lean (hopefully, of course, he goes down the middle).
I'm no Trump fan, but this isn't the only time the Republican Party has allowed this, see 2012 the situation with Candy Crowley in the second debate between Romney and Obama. It just blows my mind that they don't try to push to get moderators who put their viewpoints aside and let the candidates fight it out instead of just setting their candidates up for a two or three on one debate.
