Trump Dominates CNN’s “Townhall” | Religio-Political Talk (RPT)

Here is Trump’s “CNN townhall”… I will preface it with BEN SHAPIRO’S TWEET as it is spot on, I will embed a commentator on Ben’s Tweet as well (with slight edits – like bullet points):

CNN did Trump a MASSIVE favor last night and everybody knows it. Here’s why.

This townhall was billed as a Republican primary townhall, which means that presumably, Trump should have been asked about issues Republican voters care about. Like, say, Fauci and covid; criminal justice reform and Alice Johnson and crime; the border wall and illegal immigration. Etc.

Now let me present a partial list of the issues Republican voters DON’T care about:

Jean Carroll
January 6
Georgia election questions
National Archives documents
Alvin Bragg’s allegations

These are all Democrats’ top issues.

Collins asked zero of the questions Republicans cared about and all the ones Democrats cared about.

So, in other words, this was billed as a GOP primary night, and it was just Kaitlin Collins asking questions Democrats have about Trump.

Republican voters sensed this. So when Trump took out the kitchen sink and began hammering Collins into the wall with it, they cheered. Republicans will — ALWAYS AND CORRECTLY — cheer biased moderators being steamrolled by Republican candidates, no matter what those candidates actually say.

Trump wins more favor with Republican voters; Democrats remain offput; independents continue to wonder why we’re relitigating 2020. Ridiculous failure by CNN on all fronts — unless, of course, their goal is to renominate Trump for the ratings and because they think he’s most beatable (NOTE: this, by the way, is precisely their goal).

It is all about ratings and faux outrage to get noticed…. again. A better term is what RED STATE said it was in their post on the “townhall”:

Here is the “townhall” with more commentary to follow:

Okay, here are some great video commentaries and play-by-play:

BREITBART has a good montage of short clips in their article: “Trump Hijacks CNN, Steamrolls Kaitlan Collins in New Hampshire Townhall: ‘You Are a Nasty Person’”
RED STATE has a good short post on the night: “Trump Dominates at Town Hall, Then Audience Focus Group Finishes CNN Off”
PJ-MEDIA slices up the night well in their post titled “9 Key Moments From Trump’s CNN Town Hall”

CNN then went to a focus group and encountered real Americans fed up with the media narrative of asking a question to a Republican and then later saying “why did [insert any conservative here] talk about this?” (TWITCHY H/T)

Rep. Byron Donald

Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donald sparred with a CNN panel Wednesday about the network’s Republican Presidential town hall Wednesday.
