Can You Say "Complete BS"?

As required by the commission running the presidential debates, the moderator for the first debate announced the topics he will cover in that match up.  There will be six 15 minute segments and two each will fit within each of these so called "topics": 

 "America's Direction,"
"Achieve Prosperity" and
"Securing America."

Holt actually said that the topics could change if events required it.

These are not topics.  They are just another way of Lester saying, "I'll ask whatever I want to ask and I have no intention of telling you anything in advance.  In other words, these topics are Complete BS.

If you doubt that, consider the following:

1.  Global warming could fit within securing America.
2.  ISIS could fit within securing America.
3.  Fighting bullying in schools could fit within securing America.
4.  Renegotiating trade pacts likewise could fit within securing America.
5.  Dealing with the zika virus -- ditto.
6.  Stopping the use of fracking -- ditto.
7.  Funding the military -- ditto.
8.  The VA scandal -- ditto.
9.  Hillary's email problems -- ditto (although you can be sure that Lester won't think that.)

In other words, with vague topics that don't limit the discussion, Holt is announcing nothing here.
