If Lsuer was not good ,is Holt any better?

My biggest fear about the first debate is Lester Holt is a Mr. Nice Guy.

Can he toughen up enough to handle this huge task?

The only place Lauer has to go is retirement so I doubt he gives a rip about what people are saying. Holt still has room to move.

I also suspect he's aware of last night's debacle and doesn't want a repeat on his head.

People who are expecting Hillary to bludgeon Cheeto in the debates are going to be sadly disappointed. It's going to be all about Benghazi, e-mails, and how awesome Trump is.
