Trump to sit for CNN town hall
The Hill ^ | 05/01/2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 05/01/2023 12:48:07 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump will participate in a CNN town hall event in New Hampshire next week, the network announced on Monday.

Trump, who last fall became the first Republican to officially seek the party’s nomination for president, has not participated in a town-hall style interview in more than two years, last sitting with NBC’s Savanah Guthrie late in 2020.

The event, which will take place at St. Anselm College, will be moderated by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and air at 9 p.m. Eastern.

The network said it will fill the venue with a live audience of New Hampshire Republican and undeclared voters who say they intend to vote in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary.

Trump’s decision to sit with CNN for a town-hall style event is a significant departure from his usual appearances on Fox News and smaller conservative channels such as Newsmax and OAN.

Are you? Trump is known for not backing away from leftist or their questions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

See post 14. Trump won’t debate DeSantis or other GOP rivals, but he will face the morons on CNN?

To do what? To trash talk DeSantis some more? Liberals would love that. They know they can beat/steal the election in ‘24 as they did in 2020. But if DeSantis is the nominee - they can only lose.

Trump is walking into a trap.

Under Tump, we had the deep state run wild giving us a complete suspension of all civil liberties. We lost the right to work, to run a business, to go to a damned store. We ended up with complete and total censorship of every social media anyone outside the echo chamber would ever listen to, thanks to government agencies directing social media as to what they can and cannot allow to be spoken. That censorship included censorship of medicine and science allowing tens of thousands of doctors to be fired for the crime of independently thinking. We had election fraud to the tune of millions of votes, but no-one gave a crap because orange man bad. We were beaten by a man who sat in his basement and crapped his pants instead of campaigning.

This what I love about Trump. He is bold and not afraid. The man fights his own battles.

Well, Caitlan Collins kicked Trump around almost as bad a s Maggie Haberman.

So, this makes sense.

He’s walking into a den of vipers. Hopefully he doesn’t come out of their frustrated and throwing things against the wall. You know they’re going to bamboozle him and they’re going to nail him against the wall with the pending rape and payoff allegations. And then they’ll alter the tape or whatever have you to make them look stupid, a bigot, transphobic, racist and demonic. Trump please don’t do it ….please! Haven’t you learned anything yet sir? After all these years?….they play EVILY dirty.

How can Trump debate Meatball, when Meatball isn’t in the Race?

—> Trump says no to Republican debates but yes to CNN.

Engage the enemy knowing you will best him - as Trump did, answering more questions from a hostile press than any other potus.

Beware traitors who pose as friends.

I know, right!!

Trump last week: "The evil mainstream media picked by the RNC is out to get me!"

Trump this week: "Come see me on CNN where Caitlin Collins who trashed me every night for four years will moderate the Town Hall!"

They know what questions will push his buttons, and they’ll pounce.

A CNN town hall is OK but he’s afraid to debate his opponents for the GOP nomination?

Townhall formats are the worst of the worst. It allows the leftist “moderators” to choose a pack of biased sub-moderators and make selections of prearranged questions that would make Biden’s press team jealous.

Republicans should demand that only more traditional formats are allowed, but with a moderator chosen by the left and a moderator chosen by the right.

This crap is ridiculous and Trump proves once again that his ego thinks it’s smarter than the hivemind left...

IMHO Trump in the past was best when debating against avowed leftists (including "moderators") than he was at debating so-called "conservative" RINO's.

When the left tells Trump: "we dare you to offend us!", Trump responds with: "I don't care if you're offended!", and America cheers. Because that's the left's usual mantra Trump is usually best against them.

But when the "right" says, "Hey, Trump. Should we fix social security?" or "Hey Trump, should we get rid of Obamacare?", Trump's response can be not so enthusiastic with his "We'll get rid of it and replace with something bigger and more beautiful then this country has ever seen!". Us conservatives don't want failed government programs to be replaced with other government programs and half the time Trump doesn't get that. I voted for Trump twice and will probably vote for him again, but I'll admit that these are the times that made me question my vote. Not once when Trump debated the left do I recall questioning my support for him.
