And The Moderators For The 2016 Presidential Debates Are…

Joe Cunningham   . . . "Yesterday, it was announced that Matt Lauer would moderate a joint candidate forum next week, setting off criticisms that there is virtually no way any Republican (much less Trump) could get a fair deal out of the debates. Today, we've learned the names of the moderators of the debates themselves.

This year's three presidential debates will be moderated by NBC's Lester Holt, CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC's Martha Raddatz, and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.

The vice presidential debate moderator is Elaine Quijana of CBS News.

Holt, the anchor of the NBC Nightly News, will lead the first debate, which is set to take place at Hofstra University on September 26.

Cooper and Raddatz will co-moderate the second debate, which will be a town-hall style event in St. Louis, Missouri.
