Did anyone who didn’t like Trump before the town hall suddenly grow an appreciation for him? No. Did anyone who was pro-Trump realize he was lying through his teeth and decide not to support him? Also no. Yeah CNN took a credibility hit with this Town Hall, but now Trump’s position is wide open and ripe for any challenger, both Republican and Democrat, to pick away at.

Kaitlan Collins did an amicable job, on par with what I’ve come to expect from her. CNN could’ve done more, such as on-screen fact checking, but for a venue that was likely all Trump would agree to they did the best they could. And CNN must be happy with Collins since she’s on Primetime tonight while Spill Mattingley covers This Morning tomorrow.
