After viewing the hour....I came to ponder....why the hell would CNN go and do something like this. I came to three conclusions:
1. They probably thought....right after the court episode, that Trump would be highly embarrassed and they could slam him in some way.
Note: from what I saw....he wasn't embarrassed, and the brief interaction with the CNN moderator on this topic....well, it went south for the lady.
2. They figured at his age (76), that he would be dull-witted like Joe Biden.
On that, they guessed wrong in a pretty serious way. Trying to offer the same townhall deal to President Biden? I think he's pushed into a corner now....having to show up and do some promotion.
3. In their mind, using New Hampshire would surely bring up mostly left-of-center independent voters, and fairly tough questions.
On this matter....I would agree that the questions were realistic, blunt, and weren't filled with opinion-chatter. Trump answered every single one of them, without much of a stumble.
On this left-of-center independent voter thing...it's really not helping President Biden because of the far-left chatter he's offered for the past two years.
So I'll just say this....CNN probably had the highest level of a audience of the past five years, and rather shocked how viewers accepted the townhall chatter.
