Donald Trump and Kellyanne Conway evaluate Lester Holt

So, how did Lester Holt do as moderator? It depends on who you ask, even inside the Trump campaign.

According to Donald Trump himself and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, Holt did a pretty good job:

.@KellyannePolls just said that Holt did a "great job" on CNN, echoing Trump.

Although Trump did have a few issues with some of Holt’s questions and he gave Holt a “C/C+” while visiting with Fox & Friends Tuesday morning:

But surrogates for the campaign and supporters painted a different picture last night:

So @DRUDGE_REPORT, which is now going hard on Lester Holt, may want to note that both Trump and his campaign manager praised Lester Holt…

Lester Holt train of thought right now:
Tax returns- ck
Birth Cert- ck

Emails? Health? Benghazi?
(Oops we ran out of time)

And whoever took over Trump’s twitter account for him while he was at the debate complained about the questions as well:

Nothing on emails. Nothing on the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And nothing on #Benghazi. #Debates2016 #debatenight
