Please be safe Anderson, you are an asset to Truth and Democracy and this makes you an enemy of state under forty seven. If only the remarkable cold-bore shot or "shooter" had dialed in three inches to the east. LOL! totally J/W...CNN, not the "official narrative"(a term Vladimir Putin coined by the way) narratives are stories stories are told by poets and Reddit-ors. today's news is tomorrow's history and accuracy, persistent-risk, skepticism, proper grammar...long live the Fifth estate!
love ya Anderson! ~ 🇨🇦
Trump is taking steps to prevent a military coup.
that male guest was an idiot and very pigheaded
Why broadcast David Urban? He's an obvious shill.
Where do they find these MAGA idiots? The misuse of the word "inculcate" in the midst of that blather was especially embarrassing.
Oops, David Urban nearly said that immigrants are "taking black jobs."
Oops, David Urban nearly said that immigrants are "taking black jobs."
The political discussions would be more informative if they would ditch the purblind Trump supporters. Conceding that people might vote for him despite not responding favorably to his personality is meaningless. He is a writhing bag of contradictions and easily distracted. He has redefined the scope of lying in politics. He is "unserious." As for the economy, the public remember events better than gaps of time. Pollsters should ask, Were you better off financially during Covid than you are now?
Quinnipiac has the worst reputation among American pollsters? Rasmussen would like a word.
Scott Taylor is utterly mendacious. What a relief to discover that he hasn't held an elected office since 2019. It is not surprising to learn that from the same year four of his staffers (but not Taylor himself) have been indicted for election fraud.
Who is this MAGA mook?
Kind of amusing to hear a Trump surrogate to talk nonsense, but what it comes down to is that Trump talks sh1t.
"Radical liberals v Commonsense conservatives" is a self-serving piece of utter nonsense.
Why invite a ridiculous contrarian Republican talking head to these discussions?
Why ask Maggie Haberman to comment on legal proceedings? CNN has lawyers who provide legal commentary. Despite the MAGA talking points, the trials are not politically motivated and what Trump's advisors are saying is (at best) collateral to the actual news.
David Urban is a horse's ass.
Yawn. Slow news day, CNN?
Let's reflect on how lacking Donald Trump is in both self-control and decorum that the Presidential Debate saw fit to implement a policy of controlling the debaters' microphones.
I blame the press. You should have reported on the economy all along.
