I don’t watch CNN. Ever. For any reason. I only know what I read on Free Republic. :-)

This turd right here:

He started off by saying he'd last seen Trump "in his office" and then launched his attack. Trump figured out right away it was a "seminar caller" and his first reply was "I understand I'm not going to get your vote, but..." We on the live thread referred to him as "Mr. Orange Tie", but I see his sartorial choices changed for the above photo even though he's the same smiling creep underneath.

He went on CNN because it was supposed to be an unscripted townhall event.

Trump clarified mandate today:

I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.

I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.

I will replace it with private plans, health savings accounts, & allow purchasing across state lines. Maximum choice & freedom for consumer.

I’m self-funding and I am going to take care of the people – not the special interests and insurance companies like the other candidates.

WOW! I bet DONEald really was flabbergasted to find that CNN, yes CNN of all the media, trying to sandbag him with mean old quotes.

Cease and desist is on its way.

This is worldwide, too, such as Facebook censoring people in Europe complaining about the Muslim invasion and accompanying crime wave. I wonder if they’re doing the same thing en mass for conservative content, too, in the US.

And now Twitter has a “Safety Council” populated by far left advocates that consider anything other than their thought bubble is “unsafe”. Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos getting unverified and others banned is proof they are censoring popular conservatives.

So even the alternative media sites are in on the censorship.

Amazing. Very dishonest people.

I like when networks say, “We’re fair and balanced”. You could sell this stuff to the laugh line.

Go Trump.

Didn't CNN do something similar to this during the Presidential debates with Candy Crowley. She already had a paper in hand siding with Obama in case a certain question was asked.

I knew this immediately and said so on the live thread. I didn’t know who the guy really was, but I and some other FReepers could tell he was a Plant.

There won’t be any lawsuit in regard to that sandbagging attempt. Even with the two lightweights ganging up on him; The South Carolinian fraud, and Anderson Cooper, who is also very light in the loafers, Trump charged right ahead, demolished their little scheme, and went on the give a very good, calm, cool representation of himself for the rest of the nearly one hour, minus commercials, that he had to make his case.

He’s talking about the MSNBC town hall Trump set up during Cruz/Rubio CNN town hall.

And was his statement that he likes the Mandate the result of some pre-scripted ambush?

Yes it was. The question cooper asked was about the pre-existing illness that was covered under the mandate of ObamaCare. There are many mandates in the ACA and Trump was supporting that one and anyone that has watched even one interview or Trump rally knows exactly what Trump's position on health care is. Or maybe you could visit his web page and read his positions there.

Lot of propaganda gets posted here but Freepers are usually wise enough to detect it.

Ever since Donald Trump decided to run for president "as a Republican" it appears that at least half of the B.S. Detectors here have been disabled.

Yesterday somebody sent me a link to his website and there in nice bold print it said "WE MUST HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE"

What is really odd is that an “ordinary citizen” gets so much time, so much camera time, so much follow up time. That is not normal.

Either way, it does not appear they got the better of him on the question or the exchange.
