Trump’s town hall: A buffet of buffoonery for Democrats in 2024

Within an hour of the conclusion of Wednesday’s live CNN town hall with Donald Trump, Team Biden tweeted out the elements of an attack ad in the making: Trump's praise of the Jan. 6 insurrection as a "beautiful day" set against raw footage of violent clashes between police in riot gear and a mob of rioters beating and bear-spraying them.

As nauseating as Trump's hour-long bloviation was to watch, it was also electoral gold for Democrats, as Team Biden's quick turnaround shows. Trump's delusional lies, chest-thumping, and pervasive misogyny were like a “greatest hits” of ballot box losers for Republicans.
