I think CNN hosted the town hall not just for tonight's ratings, but for ratings for the next two

years and beyond, if the twice-impeached, rapist ex-"president" manages to get his fat ass elected again—shudder.

CNN is hoping beyond hope for a Biden-Trump rematch. It would be like Rocky Balboa versus Apollo Creep.

Oh, and also, they hosted him because we're descending into a fascist state, helped along by right-wing media like CNN and Fox and the American oligarchy.

who, upon learning of the upsurge in the neo-Nazi movement, was just beside himself with rage. He said something like, "I already fought Nazis once! Now I have to fight them again?!"

Wish I could remember more details about that, but that's how I feel about the prospect of Trump running for the presidency. Not this again! My hopes are pinned on Jack Smith's investigations, but we'll see how that goes.

On the other hand, we don't have the luxury of giving up hope. Biden beat him before, he can beat him again.

Can't imagine how angry and disgusted people who fought and survived this before must feel. To live into your nineties or more and witness this again...
