Yesterday was definitely not CNN finest hour. I knew from the start that this was a bad idea and the whole show provided that. I do understand the need to provide Republican presidential hopefuls with a platform but surely everyone should know the nature of Trump by now and last night showed it.
Do feel sorry for Kaitlin Collins, I do think she did last night to the best of the abilities required and it was a big task in front of the predictable attacks she got. It's probably likely she is going to get a load of unnecessary absue when she is likely to be announced to the 9pm slot in the near future.
Not sure who else could have hosted that would have been suitable. Can't imagine Jake Tapper would have wanted to do it given his quite obvious views of Trump and his previous no platforming of election deniers. In fact Trump probably would have walked out halfway through given how pressing Tapper would have been so it would have looked bad either way.
