Profits from this event will benefit the Committee to Protect Journalists.

3. My simple rule: just treat him like you treat hillary

If Donnie gives a 10-minute speech, follow it with a 10-minute equal time speech by a partisan democrat, then 10- minutes of analysis with a panel of 2 partisan democrats, 2 left-leaning independents, and one meek republican.

Then for the next 24 hours, refuse to air any of donnie's original speech, and say the story of the day was the partisan democrat's response.

Then constantly question donnie's health and stamina and sanity and ethics and ability to abide by the law.

Then talk about all the reasons why Donnie should be locked up and impeached.


This all seemed reasonable for hillary, so why tr at Donnie any differently?
