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.

Yeah! The old fool circus is in town again!

Maybe we can get some seniors to go yell past each other at St As.

Logically, participating in a townhall in enemy territory and having debates against one's opponent where the moderators are fair are two different things a candidate would want to do in a campaign.

Yes, I know. That's over your TDS head.

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

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

What a con-job comment. In a historical political events, outsider Trump blew 18 professional career, "Republican rivals" off the stage, smoking one by one.

But you obviously missed all these historic events.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of stupid things he says in response to Kaitlan Collins’ forthcoming goading.

That was in the past. When Trump was more relevant. And remember he barely edged out Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz, FGS.

As you know, Ron DeSantis is no Ted Cruz. He's twice the viable candidate that Cruz was. Trump knows that. His gutter politics might have worked in 2016. But they won't work next year.

Maybe Trump should request Chris Wallace as the moderator since it worked out so well for Trump the last time he went against Wallace and FOX.

But if DeSantis is the nominee - they can only lose.

Trump has always just wanted attention. Good, bad or indifferent. It doesn’t matter to him.

Trump is a boss. He’s not afraid nor should he be. All of what you said is done anyways. This way Trump an give his version. His beat interviews are usually against hostile pukes. They WILL try to give him an abortion trap. He’ll have to know how to work that well and he better be prepared for it. The entire Repuke strategy in the primaries is abortion centric to take out Trump

"And suddenly, just like that, CNN wants
to promote Trump again!

I don't think CNN wishes to promote Trump's presidential run.
CNN is just hoping to entrap Trump in to saying
something that increases his legal troubles or even enables
another indictment on a ridiculous charge.

We were beaten by a man who sat in his basement and crapped his pants instead of campaigning.

I agree and I don’t see a good alternative. But what is for sure, whoever the candidates are, they will rip into one another until they are all unelectable. Dems won’t do debates because the other person will look far more competent than diaper Joe

Is he out of his mind?

I don't think so. I think voters understand and appreciate this.

I think Vivek is getting a great deal of buzz. At least my friends like what he says.
