Trump threatens to skip CNN town hall
The Hill ^ | 3/29/16 | Ben Kamisar

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is threatening to skip CNN's town hall interview Tuesday night over the network's treatment of him.

"Wow, @CNN has nothing but my opponents on their shows," he wrote on Twitter. "Really one-sided and unfair reporting. Maybe I shouldn't do their town-hall tonight!"

Trump and rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich are scheduled to be interviewed by the network in Wisconsin, one week before the state's primary.

Trump has repeatedly threatened during his campaign to skip big events — and he's followed through at time.

“Remember, in politics, perception is reality. And it takes a long time to change the masses perception.”

Trump has been in the public eye for 40 years. There are decades of masses that had a perception of him before his formal foray into politics.

“Trump is just jerking CNN’s chain. The Cruzers don’t get it.”

Nah, some of the hard-core Cruzers are just full of hate and venom. They can’t contain it.

They truly are backing the proper candidate for their condition.

You are very sour grapes. You want him to walk in the chamber and be gassed right before your gleeful eyes

That is a little over the top, don't you think? I dislike Trump because of his juvenile name-calling and insults. He behaves in an ugly manner. I also do not believe he can deliver on his promises.

Bingo. This little tweet has already been retweeted a thousand times. Already articles are up on it.

He's ginning up interest. Thousands will watch, not to see Cruz, but to see him.

These town halls are his best forum, IMO.

When he can’t rely on his facial antics and smears, while saying nothing of any substance all the while chanting his same old tired lines, he looks like what he is a foul-mouthed geezer!

He fights his own battles unlike St. Booger of Goldman Sachs.

Oh please..... He’s on freakin CNN practically every other day. I watch every morning. He’s either on or calls in. He’s getting to know Chris Cuomo’s wardrobe for God sakes. Enough of his cry baby $hit. He’s getting WAY more CNN airtime than any other candidate.

Free advise to Cruz supporters not only is Carly not come over well in public but every time she defends Ted alot of people look at her and say Cruz bribed her and she is earning some of the money.

Too busy pulling out their victim cards to see it for what it is.

Yes, but nobody cared over the last 40 years because he was just being “The Donald”. Now he’s asking to be President of the United States. The bar is a bit higher.

That doesn’t mean it’s positive press, which is the point.

BTW - what keeps the other candidates from calling into CNN?

Actually, what I want is a president who refuses to buy into a lousy idea just because it’s accepted or because it’s tradition.

So, yes. I’d prefer that in the general election that the candidate control where and when he debates and not the party.

It’s a matter of using God given intelligence.

One of these joint news conference Q&A’s that goes by the name of ‘debate’ isn’t an emergency. It’s a planned event.

I expect a smart person to be in charge of that and not a pawn of tradition.
