"SNIP........

Semafor: “While Trump’s team has privately made it clear that they viewed the CNN town hall as a success and would welcome others, the networks do not want to repeat CNN’s apparent mistakes, and are only seeking one-on-one live or pre-taped interviews with Trump.”

1. I initially said I was okay with Trump doing the town hall. I thought

if Trump was given an equal chance as other candidates then he could not complain when he gets arrested and/or losses the election. My achilles heel: I am fair. I projected that onto him because I am a pollyanna. Trump is not fair. He is evil. When will I ever unlearn the lessons of fairness, lessons my father taught me, when later in life i am dealing with psychopaths? I was proud when my teacher in public school made me the only judge in a mock trial about a novel. I'm not proud this week. Or last week.

6. Well, from now on start with the assumption that

tRump is not fair and the GQP is not fair. That is a fact. They are greedy, hypocritical liars and that will not change in our lifetimes. That is not pessimism, it is realism. I was like you and hoped life was fair. Then a friend told me it was not and I resisted believing that for a long, long time but I am a realist and finally had to accept this.

7. Don't be hard on yourself. We've never seen a Trump

before. I never even realized someone like him existed.

2. CNN has become New Coke

3. Why would give publicity to this criminal at all??

Granted, his exploits generate ratings, but there's plenty to report on regarding his felony indictments or those which are still pending.

4. Lock the bastard up.

5. Wise.

To be clear: interviewing a top candidate: ok.

Hosting a town hall with SEVERAL top candidates: ok.

Coordinating a campaign rally with candidate hand picked moderators and audience: NOT OK.

8. CNN lost credibility, which is difficult to regain. "Everything trump touches dies." nt

11. It's simply unfathomable we are actually having this discussion on any day following J6, except

here we are. that psychopathic lying monster is free to carry out and foist his criminal insanity on our nation, with the explicit assistance from tv cable news media.

But since he was not apprehended for sedition and a host of treasonous and criminal behavior, we have to continue to live through this nightmare once again.

The very idea that he is being treated with equal consideration as a presidential candidate is insane itself.

But it certainly isn't surprising, since he has not had to face justice.
