If you have some free time today, there is an abundance of salt flowing from the liberal salt mines. One main theme of their meltdown is censorship. Several twitter posts and videos rebuking CNN for allowing Trump to turn what they thought would be a beat down of Trump into a Trump Rally. This energized me this morning. I was skeptical about Trump going on CNN for this Town Hall, but now I see it as pure genius. He gave them a huge L in their own house!
The moderator was annoying and so partisan that it might as well have been a debate. One exchange that stood out to me was her attempting to bait Trump into calling Putin a war criminal. She also tried to get Trump to say that he supported Ukraine.
Trump didn't take the bait and said he wanted the killing on both sides to end. Trump knocked that particular answer out of the park.
If you take a look around at what the media has reported, it looks like the town hall was a huge failure for the legacy media.

^ The left is so focused on either you are this or you are that. President Trump took the Russia/Ukraine and brought it to the higher moral level of Peace and an end to the war. I agree with you that he knocked it out of the park. President Trump has an amazing mind.
Great video. I see MSNBC took their shots at this too. That, is exactly why when ever I so much as see the MSN home page, I close it out in a nano second. I hope President Trump continues the lashing every time CNN tries this. There are so many old folks at home who believe everything that's on CNN.

I would be very interested in seeing the TV ratings from last night. CNN initiated this townhall, they wanted this. They had to assume that higher ratings would result.

The enraged reaction this morning from the left is very telling.
CNN would have done better getting the panel from The View to host the town hall.
The scene that came to my mind was from the Gladiator where, after eviscerating the opponents, the main character asks the audience, "Are you now entertained?" LOL.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Again and again, it’s said that Joe Biden is too old for the presidency. What’s apparent is that cognitive decline is Biden’s problem; he’s always had a problem expressing himself coherently. It may be exacerbated by his age in Biden’s case, but Trump is sharp as a razor and shows no cognitive decline at all.

FIFY
I actually do believe the coherent part, although not new, is what's really deteriorated the most as of late.
The standing O at the end must have killed them at CNN.

I sometimes wonder if these people know who Donald Trump is.
He is a mega tycoon that presides over a massive business empire. He has been embroiled in the media for good and bad most of his life. He spent 4 years as President of the country. They approach him as if they could get him off is game as easy as a rookie congressman. They sorely underestimate him every time.

The consensus is unanimous. Donald Trump got a boost, ol' Kaitlan came off looking like what she is (a partisan hack in over her widdle head), and everyone on the left has frowny face today.
Plus, you know what? I think Joe Scarborough is the only actual transgender in the world. If that jerk doesn't have a vagina, I'd be awfully surprised. Freakin' nutless wonder.
