Donald Trump deserves a second term
CNN.com ^ | 10-31-2020 | Scott Jennings

(CNN)The case for President Donald Trump is simple: He made the economy work for so many Americans, kept us out of new and costly wars and even brokered peace deals in the Middle East.

He believes our taxes should be lower, not higher -- and signed into law sweeping tax relief for businesses and the vast majority of federal income tax filers. He thinks government shouldn't overregulate, rolling back numerous Obama-era overreaches, while working with his Republican allies in Congress.

And despite his relative dovishness, he has invested in our military and in the men and women who wear the uniform. As a result, our enemies know we are more than capable of finishing them. Just ask the former leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or former Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

Beyond that, Trump stands up against the worst impulses of the American left and the radicals who seek to banish from the public square those who dare to think differently. Heck, even the Girl Scouts deleted a tweet congratulating Amy Coney Barrett on her elevation to the Supreme Court because of pressure from the liberal Twitter mob. Is that the kind of American we want, where unhinged progressives can shut down even a simple tweet of congrats to an accomplished female judge?

This is the best you'll ever get from CNN. They let this slip through late on a Friday night. Makes some very good points. I guess they're trying to set things up to restore all their lost credibility post-election.

Checking the date. Feels like early fall, not April 1st...

You got me to check. It’s not April Fools Dal.

I put in 10-31-2020 but the actual date of the article is October 30, 2020. That’s close enough for me.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC: Just announced on Fox that SEAN CONNERY has died at the age of 90. No further details yet.

It's not CNN's opinion. It's a GOP consultant's opinion. Fantastic quote:

Trump stands up against the worst impulses of the American left and the radicals who seek to banish from the public square those who dare to think differently. Heck, even the Girl Scouts deleted a tweet congratulating Amy Coney Barrett on her elevation to the Supreme Court because of pressure from the liberal Twitter mob. Is that the kind of American we want, where unhinged progressives can shut down even a simple tweet of congrats to an accomplished female judge? Whatever problems I have with him -- and there are more than a few -- Trump's willingness to stand up to this kind of mob impresses the hell out of me. Standing by Justice Brett Kavanaugh during a tough confirmation fight, for instance, was a particularly proud moment.

I know it’s a GOP consultant’s opinion. I am just surprised CNN let it get through. I guess they figured they’d let it slip through late on a Friday night.

CNN stating that ‘Orange Man Ain’t So Bad’? A CNN ‘come to Jesus’ moment! I guess that asteroid that is supposed to pass near the Earth today, is actually going to hit! ‘Lanta, perhaps?

The fact that they allowed their viewers to hear Keith Ellison tell Chris Cuomo that Trump has a good shot at winning Minnesota is quite telling.....Biden is comfortably ahead in the polls, but Trump might win a State that hasn’t gone Red since the McGovern disaster?

Yes, hard to believe the CommieNewsNetwork would publish this. I suppose they have to have a token conservative viewpoint slip through a couple of times a year though.

CNN is looking for a new owner.

Cnn is seeking relevance to justify existence. More people watch excerpts on Fox News or Rush than actually see them on CNN

I was just kidding — noting the unlikely instance of CNN writing something like this!

CNN is looking for a new owner.

I’ve heard that Jeff Bezos is considering buying. He already owns the Washington Post. I guess he’s looking to add to his sewer.
