Collins: About last night, the 70 minutes I spent on stage in New Hampshire with former president Donald Trump was a major inflection point in the Republican party's search for its nominee..

1. What does that even mean? Major inflection point? nt

[ProfessorGAC]

3. It Means...

...dhut bsnot qvit g D n uh tk dwmyf.
Well, mine makes more sense!

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. She's just making shit up as she goes along. nt

[miss-nasty]

12. This ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Can’t believe I was a fan of this piece of trash so called journalist/propagandist.You can tell by the look on her face she knows she fucked up “bigly”

[NJCher]

34. but that's what trump does

so basically cnn gave up prime time for two babblers to just make stuff up.

I can't remember which podcast I was listening to--might have been Sam Harris or Ezra Klein--but they were talking about how trump can't even be called a liar because what he actually does is bullshit. He doesn't even qualify to be a liar!

The point was that a liar at least has some respect for the truth because they stay consistent with their lie. They might even be strategic with the lie, making sure it has some believability. Trump, however, has no respect for the truth and just babbles whatever is on the tip of his tongue. This is why he screws up so much and incriminates himself in very serious situations which could add years to a sentence if he is convicted.

Now that's pathetic: when you're so bad at it you can't even qualify for "liar."

[llmart]

18. LOL

That's about it. I'm fairly astute when it comes to the English language, but that piece of drivel makes absolutely no sense. And she's supposed to be a journalist? Geez oh Pete.

[azureblue]

26. it means

She added an "L" to the word

[Raven123]

2. Maybe she means major infection point.

[littlemissmartypants]

7. Exactly. Auto correct. Proofreading isn't done anymore. n/t

[BlackSkimmer]

4. "Major inflection point"?

How long did they work on that one?

They're desperately trying to spin their way out of this, but that "town hall" was a major misstep, a debacle.

[madaboutharry]

6. When all you have is bullshit,

then use vocabulary words that mean nothing.

[NJCher]

35. hah!

see my post 34 above.

[madaboutharry]

40. I agree.

But I think TFG invented a new category. He’s an Evil Bullshiter.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. Kicking twice for the outstanding eye roll. ❤️

[Iggo]

9. It's not her job to help the Republicans search for a nominee.

But CNN knows, and they know we know, how much more money they make if Trump is the nominee instead of DeSantis. That 2016 gaslight job ain’t gonna go over twice, though, so they’re kind of being up front about it this time.

So maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it IS her job.

[617Blue]

38. Exactly. Or orchestrate "inflection points."

[SWBTATTReg]

10. Maybe in their own way, they are saying that they f**ked up having tRUMP on, half-baked as he was.

Can't come right out on national TV and admit they screwed up...

[azureblue]

28. so wimpy and scared

They forgot the majority of America wants Trump outta here. If they stood up, said they were wrong and Trump is nuts, their viewership would go way up, for being the only cable news program to do the right thing

But they won't.

[Taraman]

11. And they really screwed up

I've changed my attitude toward CNN because of it, and I'm probably not alone.

But then, I'd really like to see American democracy prevail and they don't seem to care.

[Cha]

13. yeah.. What?

15. Kaitlan, thank you so much for introducing us

to Donald Trump..we had no idea he was a pathological liar, a know-nothing sadist, a crude cruel vengeful racist/antisemite, a women-hating malignant narcissist, a deranged sexual predator/deviant, a true psychopath..thank you for sacrificing your smidge of self-respect and what's left of your career for allowing a vomit spewing grifting monster to gut/neuter/demean/diminish you on live tv..good luck with your new show on T(rump)NN..please say hello to Trump ass-crawler Chris Licht..looking forward to his next failed ratings grab

[azureblue]

30. OTOH

She sure let Trump show America what he really is.. In a backhanded way, you gotta thanks her for that.

[BOSSHOG]

16. I came to an inflection point with the gop about 40 years ago

Good for me.

[Hekate]

22. 55 years ago. Screw Nixon to Hell.

[BOSSHOG]

23. I stand corrected

I have been fixated on Reagan as the jumping off point. Not that I jumped off anything Republican. But that party has been chock full of awful for a long long time.

[Hekate]

31. Reagan was his own kind of special, tho. Charlie Pierce says that was when the GOP got brain disease

He says with Reagan as President they “ate the monkey brains” and as a party are “now in end-stage prion disease.”

I find that unforgettably colorful and apt.

[kairos12]

17. More like major infection point.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Hollywood Scriptwriter School Terminology

The point when the plot makes a big change to the storyline.

Demonstrates how important acting classes are for television broadcast action journalism school.

[LuvLoogie]

20. I think Chat GPT wrote that lead in.

(Staying in my silo...)

[AmBlue]

21. What utter BS... except for the eyeroll.

While I actually did have an inflection point that night, without even watching the orange pussbag's flying poo extravaganza, and here it is:

CNN NEVER AGAIN.
DEAD.
TO.
ME.

[Johonny]

24. By search she means complete ignoring of other candidates to normalize the insane guy

that wants to destroy democracy.

[Freethinker65]

25. It was a major failure in CNN's search for responsible journalism.

It was a major fail for CNN's search for a new audience.

[TomDaisy]

27. Did she mean "infection point" - that I can agree with. An infection of our discourse

compounding the previous infection.

[TomDaisy]

29. Where is Nikki Haley's town hall??

[orthoclad]

32. I think it came out just like they wanted.

Red meat for the slavering wolves. Including a female journo that Trape could abuse, and use as a foil to give them their jollies.

[Goodheart]

33. All I heard was blah blah blah.

[Permanut]

36. That inflection point is a matter of concern to me.

[tavernier]

37. I think she meant Major Infiction Point

meaning that every piece of crap that dribbled out of his mouth was major fiction. CNN just likes to embellish their reporting.

[GenThePerservering]

39. Go home Kaitlan

you're drunk.

[Takket]

41. I don't need an arsonist trying to explain why I should be happy they burned down my home
