CNN just keeps failing, in a way they are doing Trumps work for him.
Most town halls are just plants. Every politician does it.
There was a town hall for Ted Cruz (lol) where I work back in 2016 and nobody in my entire organization had a clue how to get tickets. This "town hall" was 100% plants. They were using our office space and yet nobody could get in.
Doing an actual town hall with random people would be political suicide. Some Trumper would destroy the event in seconds. Even if they didn't, they'd just get "baba-booeyed".
Every politician wants that great viral moment, and equally dreads that random encounter that sinks them.
We live in a world where Bolton is the ethical one.

That is exactly the problem. Trump wants to play this up as the left attacking the right for political reasons, but the reality is that Trump chews through his own cabinet members. When a lunatic warhawk like Bolton things you are too extreme, you are dangerous.
The number of people Trump appoints and then either they are fired/quit is disturbing and should be all the evidence anyone needs to show he's completely unfit.
It doesn't matter if you're the national security advisor or an anchor on Fox News. Disagree with Trump once and you are gone.
One of the things we were told by people who voted for Trump was that he was going to surround himself with the best advisors. Well now multiple churns later and there are so many vacancies and "interim" people and it just gets worse and worse.

Trump touts 'great' Chinese trade deal that doesn't actually exist
If you believed Trump's rhetoric about his "great" and "big" new trade deal with China, I have some bad news for you.

It's not her to blame it's CNN for not being more forthcoming on who the guy was, they've done it in the past and promised to do better but still haven't. It still sucks that it was a canned response but I think most of us figured it was anyway.
