In a bizarre CNN appearance, Donald Trump's attorney Michael Cohen argued with the host when confronted with the fact that Trump isn't leading any polls.
When asked about the state of the campaign given the recent "shake up" and the fact that they were "down," Cohen seemed incredulous and asked "says who?" repeatedly, even when told "polls...all of them."

You never know if the clips are cut off, here is the whole 16 minutes;

Yeah, agreed that that Cohen dude is just too obnoxious to be speaking on TV for Trump. IMO, he will do more harm than good. He was also very obnoxious in the primaries.
CNN is still a thing?
Nope. Not anymore CNN.
I disagree - he completely rejected her assumptions. He just did in in a way that’s unexpected and unconventional - like Trump.
Agreed. We keep doing this with issues such as "Abortion" (Women's Health) Homosexuality (Civil Rights) and a host of other issues.
We ought to start out every conversation with "I flatly reject your attempt to frame the premise of the debate. Your premise is false, and I will not argue from the position of a false premise."
Hillary is spending millions to preserve what seems in many polls to be a small lead. Trump is spending very little.
I’m guessing this is not missed on the Hillary camp.
I would suspect that at some point Trump will start spending money on advertising and by the time he does Hillary will have had to show many of her best cards as well as spent a lot of her available resources.
Watch the video in 21 - he says why Trump isn’t releasing his tax returns.
Nonsense.
That’s all that’s left to be said.
We’ll see the only poll that counts — the one in November.
Did you see the exchange in about the two minutes leading up to this? Must see teevee.
“By the polls, Reagan was not winning until just before the election, if then”
Crooked pollsters lie to try to change the outcome of the election. They lie and lie and then, at the last minute, to preserve whatever credibility they still have, they have to change the polls to be closer to reality so the election outcome does not show their polls to be a lie
Trump does that all the time - without stating it out loud. That is one thing I like about him.
“...before the inevitable accusations that I am a “concern troll” materialize...”
By this in your comment, you’ve just admitted as much...
IMHO CNN has no credibility.
If the newscaster isn’t prepared with anything other than ‘all polls’ or ‘most polls’ or ‘all of them’ how is that Cohen’s mistake?
In the meantime no Democrat is horrified or finds it bizarre when any given Hillary spokesman/supporter says she never sent classified emails and the FBI said so.
PS: Town Hall is filled with concerned troll.
Excellent point that needs to be repeated.
It's his mistake because he didn't call her on it, and agreed with her premise by saying: "OK." Thus he validated what she said.
Why I miss Mark Jessup on the scene...
Who knows? What difference, at this point, does it make? Only one poll counts.
