Free column today. To get ‘em all you need to subscribe. Can you? Will you? I promise it’s worth it…. So yea, last night's CNN's "town hall" with Trump was a journalistic catastrophe.....the sort of thing that should have had warning stickers plastered all over itself. But it went pretty much as expected. Trump started lying the minute he walked onstage, and didn't stop lying until CNN mercifully pulled the plug 20 minutes early (it was supposed to last 90 minutes but was stopped at 70). The only thing that was a bit surprising was CNN agreeing to an audience seemingly handpicked by Trump himself.....an audience that brayed like hyenas at his every vile utterance. Imagine finally being able to gather all the Talkback-16 callers in a single room? One twitter user suggested that they may have been recruited from "the Mar-a-Lago parking lot." That's what you got. And if they are any indication of what's really out there, I suggest you strap yourself in. These folks seem positively giddy as the prospect of democracy being completely fucked. And they are from NEW HAMPSHIRE. Wait until he heads down south. They may have pitchforks with them down there.
I missed the circus last night. Thanks for your column today. I only saw the highlights and what a travesty of journalism. It is scary to think that there are people in that room and out in society that still love this guy and think he will save them. Thanks for the laughs. It helps.
