Everyone is talking about the success of Trump’s Town Hall yesterday on CNN. J.D. Rucker at The Liberty Daily published a piece this morning, “CNN Shut Down the Town Hall Early…Mercy Rule?” that I enjoyed. The Town Hall was slated for a 90-minute broadcast, and it’s being reported that they expected it to run as long as 75 minutes. However, it was stopped at less than 70 minutes. Matt Gaetz responded by calling it a “Mercy Rule” and asked if CNN had to shut it down early due to how well Trump was doing. J.D. Rucker points out that the broadcast was most likely getting more views than all their shows combined, which I don’t doubt for a bit.
