No, I’m sorry. CNN didn’t just air that “town hall” because, after all, Trump is a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. They not only hosted the event, they created it! And what “towns” are populated only by Trump supporters? To use Trump’s often used excuse for a bad showing: It was rigged! I feel sorry for the moderator, Kaitlin Connors, who felt it was her duty to push back on the lies her bosses surely knew would be spewed by Trump. This isn’t 2015-2016 anymore.
@kel Okay, a new direction for the cable company. But trying to be another Fox News is not the way to go.
@johnldeboer I agree. The right-wing zealot who now owns it? Not so much.
They're dead to me, just like Politico, and for the same reason.
@kel Not familiar with the Politico reference.Are they in the tank too?
@johnldeboer Yep. No better than a tabloid now.

@johnldeboer She's also a right winger, she could have shut him up if she wanted to, she could have also shut it down. She came from Tuckum's Daily Caller site which is one of the biggest disinformation sites out there.
