Thank you
Like iis I think Trump did an ok job. CNN beclowned themselves.
One example when she asked Trump if he would pardon the J6 people jailed. He said he is inclined to by looking at them on a case by case basis.Not all.
She asked him again. She wanted him to say he would pardon them all
Later on Ukraine/Russia. He said he would stop the conflict in 24 hours. That seemed ill advised
But she pressed him over and over on who he was for. Zelensky or Putin/Russia Russia Russia. Trump said he was for stopping the killing on both sides.
One point he did make that I know CNN did not like was when he pointed out we have given 140 billion to Ukraine and Europe who is next door has only given 20 million.
The best part to me is the Demz meltdown
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., ripped into CNN for its town hall with former President Trump on Wednesday night, saying the network "should be ashamed of themselves."
"They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host," she tweeted.

Wow. CNN is a friggin' disgrace. They are absolutely desperate to hand Trump the nomination. They must really need the ratings boost.
First, they arrange a town hall largely packed with Trump supporters who will cheer on anything he says. Second, they ask him questions that are pretty irrelevant to most GOP primary voters, so there's no real opportunity for him to look bad in relation to his primary opposition. Instead, they ask the kinds of questions that partisan liberals would want to hear. Third, the questioner was laughably unprepared. She wasn't like a Jim Acosta or some other partisan ready to haggle with him. She tried to ask tough questions, but she basically let him take a piss on her face while the crowd cheered. She could not have looked worse, and to primary voters, he could not have looked better.

I used to agree- but now that they are even worse, they would have to improve 50+% to make it back to the "disgrace" level. I watch briefly ever now and then (for a few minutes at a time) just for the laughs.
I don't think they expected him to look bad to primary voters.
CNN WANTS Trump to be the R nominee. Better for their ratings, and it almost insures a D victory in the general.
In this scenario, why would they want him to look bad at the early stages of the R primary season?

They are anti-Trump, but it isn't simple. They are pro-ratings and pro-Democrats winning.
But Mr D
CNN has been anti Trump from the beginning. So you think they are now pimping Trump so they can criticize him?
It hasn't improved their ratings for 6 years.
I think YOU are giving them undue credit. I think CNN thought they could make Trump look bad among their CNN viewers Anti trumpers Rinos and maybe snag a few undecideds CNN's way

Go back through your mental rolodex several elections.
Mainstream media fluffed up Romney, they fluffed up McCain, and they fluff up every Republican they want to be nominated. And as soon as the convention nominates them, the long knives come out and they begin a barrage of hit pieces on the exact same person they had been fluffing just the day before.
It is Democrat/media lapdog 101, taught on the first day of class typically.

But Trump is not a new candidate. CNN et al have demonized him for 6 years including the 2.5 years he has been out of office. The long knives have been out all this time. The hit pieces have been non stop
Nobody believes CNN wanted Trump to succeed. Did anyone catch any of the panel discussion after the cut off Townhall?
BTW IF CNN wanted Trump to look good why did they cut him short when he was looking good?

He has definitely been good for their ratings. They've been behind Fox for decades and behind MSNBC ever since they became the Left's big network. However, ratings went up with Trump for them as they did for everyone.
You won't see them be overtly favourable to Trump, because they'd lose their liberal audience, but they can help him in the primary without doing that. They can put him into positions to look very tough and aggressive, as he did in the town hall. Most of all, they can let him suck all the oxygen out of the room. Make him the center of attention and controversy so no one will give his opponents the time of day.
Of course, once Trump has the nomination, they'll scream about how he's a big threat to democracy, racist, etc.

Trump will end the war over Ukraine much as he cut off immigration from the south by Building a big beautiful wall that Mexico would pay for.
Well, we’re waiting!!
will Mexico pay to rebuild Ukraine too?
I despise him and Biden but at least Biden has the excuse of advanced senile dementia. Trump is an energized bunny of pathological lying
maybe he will put Jared on a plane to get Zelenskyy and Putin to see eye to eye. If Jared could solve the Palestinian v Israel mess like he did I am sure this little mess among the Slavs will be easy

The proper measure of success is not how many got caught but how many got in
millions
Trump is a blowhard
But sizable numbers of people want to believe him no matter how absurd his words
Just like sizable numbers of Lemmings follow Senile Joe over the cliff
The projections on the number of illegals in the country are all over the place. I saw one that said there were 500,000 in Texas but I saw that many at the Katy Mall a year ago.
So no, I can’t see you to a reliable link
I have lived in Deep South Texas all my life except for college years and my evidence is anecdotal and convincing to me at least.
The BP caught a lot of people when Trump wore the crown and he gave the BP and ICE more help than anybody except Ike.
