BuckeyeLou January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 I think Poppy Harlow is doing a good job of trying to mediate among her guests, she just had a young man on who had served with the US Military in Iraq & Afghanistan and who was speaking about the Iraqi Interpretor who had been detained at JFK airport. He said how outrageous this is! This man had helped the US Military for 10 years and his life was in danger by remaining in Iraq. CNN is showing the crowd getting larger at JFK and now protests are breaking out at other airports around the US. UGH...Trump knows nothing about the vetting process, like this young man said, for this Man to work for the US Military he had to be carefully vetted, and yet now they act like they are dangerous. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3042-this-is-cnn-vaulted/page/19/#findComment-2941907

The boy's uncle was denied refugee status due to the sickening policies of that prize Tory twit, Harper (which became an issue in the recent Canadian election). But even if Lord had tried, I think Poppy Harlow would've called him out on floating lies -- excuse me, alternative facts -- in that segment because she was not happy with his baroque rambling to begin with.

She didn't hold back on criticizing Trump and the Republicans and was strong and coherent on what the Dems have to do. Don't know if the crowd was supposed to be moderate or a mix of both party supporters but she got a goodly amount of applause for many of her answers, especially any of them that dissed Trump. I think all the protests and the many thousands of protesters that have hit the streets have really pumped up the Dems and given them a wind at their back.

potatoradio February 1, 2017 Share February 1, 2017 Are the town hall shows new? I really appreciate a show that focuses on any other aspect of government besides the presidency, because he needs no more attention. I vastly prefer to see other politicians get some exposure. I thought Pelosi seemed off - still a bit shellshocked and trying to get her bearings - but I appreciated the chance to hear from her directly and I think having town halls like this, with voters from both sides, could potentially go a long way to beginning discussions that might bring us to rally around common pain points. I actually watched the town hall instead of Maddow, because I don't need any more tea leaf reading on what the S.C. nom might mean for "both sides." I know what it means.
