CNN hosted a town hall with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday night. CNN morning show host Kaitlan Collins was the moderator. The event was the first of many campaign events to come. CNN was outmatched.
I don’t want to talk about each topic and how Trump answered questions about the past. Trump is Trump. If you are a Trump supporter, you loved the town hall. If you are a NeverTrumper, your hair is on fire over the event. The thing that this town hall exposed is the rank hypocrisy of the left and their minions in the media. The left is incapable of arguing political points and philosophy anymore. Instead, the left just wants any opposing opinions to be shut down, squelched instead of allowed to debate. Most importantly, if something is said that the left does not agree with, the default position is to call that opinion a lie.
The interesting part of this story is that many Trump haters and NeverTrump Republicans thought that this would be a fun event. They anticipated Kaitlan Collins making a fool of Trump, or something, and it was widely rumored that Collins would use the town hall as an interview for her own show, perhaps one in prime time. I wrote about it when the event was announced and wondered why Trump made the decision to go on CNN.
I watched all of the town hall but the first fifteen minutes or so. I tuned in a little late. From what I could tell, the town hall began pretty well for all involved. I was pleasantly surprised by Kaitlan Collins. She seemed to be trying to remain professional and gave Trump the opportunity to answer the questions.
