Jingthing Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Trump is currently running for the republican nomination against other Republicans. There are plenty of Republicans who are considering voting for someone other than Trump. But for some very sick reasons Trump does seem the inevitable nominee.

Popular Post candide Posted May 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2023 5 hours ago, Hanaguma said: I think both sides got what they wanted. CNN got ratings- nearly 10 times their normal for that time slot. Trump got exposure and showed that he can still stand up to a hostile journalist. The audience got to see that "The Trump Show" still has a few episodes left. Couple interesting points to me. First, CNN spent a lot of time and effort to set up the Town Hall.Then in the segment following it there were legions of CNN personalities crying and rending their garments, decrying THEIR OWN EMPLOYER for doing so! A sight to behold. Second, they need a better moderator and format next time. Kaitlyn (sp) was not up to the job, and as is normal with modern journalists tried to make the show about HER. A Town Hall is to let the candidate and the people interact, not for the moderator to constantly interject and debate with the candidate. They spent more than 20 minutes talking about January 6, and about 3 minutes on the economy. Third, Trump is still an entertainer. He was also more disciplined in his answers than I saw in 2016. I don't want him to be the candidate, but he is going to be hard to unseat. Perhaps in the end, that is what CNN is hoping for. Well, it depends what is considered as being "hostile". If you consider that recalling Trump that elections were not rigged when he claimed it, was being "hostile", then the journalist was hostile. Other people would think she was just doing her job properly. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 They should have a buzzer that makes an annoying sound every time he lies or better yet never do a live interview with the fraud that way when it airs the news anchor can lead off with something like trump made this statement it’s a lie then play what he said what s#@& show 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Credo Posted May 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2023 Most of my family are hard-core conservatives. Fortunately, many of them are not Trump-type conservatives. I have no problem is hearing the discussing the conservative point of view when it comes to policy and economics. I do, however, have a problem when I have to deal with people who engage in conspiracy theories and outright lies. I don't think it is in anybody's interest to have liars allowed to present a known lie. Trump lost the election. He wishes he had won, but he didn't. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact-checking Trump’s CNN town hall in New Hampshire https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/10/politics/fact-check-donald-trump-town-hall/index.html Jeez....... thanks for posting the link, because it was an eye-opener for me that he could tell so many lies in such a short space of time, and you know the most disconcerting part of it is that he believes all that rubbish/those lies – he really does. It is surely the sign of someone who has lost his marbles and who can't tell truth from fiction, or indeed reality from lies, and how anybody on this forum can refute this, belongs in the same rabbit hole as trump and his supporters – absolutely unbelievable. Perhaps time for some psychoanalysis for the poor thing. Edited May 13, 2023 by xylophone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a huckster and low rent showman, and he appeals to his audience, because of that. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other points did Trump make in the interview ? Did he mention the economy , the Russia/Ukraine war , any new variants of Covid or any other subject that is relevant today ? The 2020 elections are in the past , time to deal with the 2024 election 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
