Exclusive — J.D. Vance: Trump’s CNN Town Hall Was a ‘Home Run’
Breitbart ^ | 13 May 2023 | JACOB BLISS

Posted on 05/13/2023 6:50:03 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday former President Donald Trump’s town hall on CNN was a “home run” for him and “solidified” him being the GOP frontrunner.

“The town hall itself… was just a home run for Trump,” the Trump-endorsed Buckeye State Republican told the host, Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.

“He was funny. He was substantive on the issues. He sort of showed why he’s not like other politicians, you know, he’s willing to sort of poke fun at the political system,” Vance added. “It’s shaping up to where this primary looks like a runaway for the president. I think that he just solidified that.”

“As good as he’s been in six years. It was a major success for him,” he continued.

Boyle also brought up how CNN had a focus group after the town hall, where people were asked about Trump’s performance. The first question asked of the focus group was about Trump focusing on the 2020 election, to which a man responded it was because of the media continuously bringing it up.

After Trump destroys CNN, Trump voters continue the demolition.

This clip is perfection.

“I was a little jealous of the guy because if they had asked me that question, I would not have had as good of a response. Because they always accused Trump of being obsessed with 2020,” Vance joked. “And yet they asked him that question again and again and again. It’s not him who’s obsessed with 2020; it’s actually the American media.”

Following the town hall this past week, it was reported that CNN’s ratings were about five times higher than the network’s typical viewership for the 8:00 p.m. hour among the 25-54 age demographic.

Vance’s media consultants told him to try to hop on Trump’s coattails. After he cozied up to McConnell the first thing he did after swearing-in. Phony.

I can’t find the videoclip, but Vance does a great job talking about how rents and housing prices are going to skyrocket due to illegal aliens. All this talk from the “Housing is a Human Right!” people aren’t talking about this.

The media doth protest too much about 2020.

They are akin to that deranged person (that we’ve all encountered sooner or later at an informal and lively get together) this time snaking his way through the crowd, going from person to person, talking their ears off about how the 2020 elections weren’t rigged.

You sir, are full of crap.

Having watched the whole progression of Vance's candidacy from my Ohio retirement BOL, it's more than a little apparent that he's the Senator For Silicon Valley, funded by and beholden to Peter Thiel, et.al.

Fooled a LOT of people here in Ohio, but not me. Maybe because I read rather than watch his manufactured video persona.

I give you Mark Twain: "It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."

JDV sycophants will eventually have to fess up. It's hard, I know.

After that CNN Townhall, I bet many households were set to record the canceled Iowa rally. I felt the national disappointment upon hearing it was canceled. It is like a weekly Super Bowl. In Biden’s World we live for the Trump Hope and Prayers.The Democrats can’t come close to that draw.His next event will have triple the viewers most likely.

During gore bush, media outlets went to Florida to prove the scotus was wrong, eventually finding bush actually won.

Why don’t the do that for votes? They know the answer.

Trump won.

And I take Mark Twain’s advice concerning “arguing with a fool”.
