CNN Uses Paid Bush Staffer To Play Role Of Trump Antagonist


That young woman who assailed Donald Trump for his treatment of women was not just someone who walked in off the street. The female questioner at the No Labels event  who badgered Trump for not showing enough respect for women was Lauren Batchelder, a paid staff member of Jeb Bush's presidential campaign. The Conservative Tree House called out Batchelder, whom it noted was quickly trying to scrub her social media history to hide the identity of her employer. That didn't stop CNN from framing the narrative it wished to project to its viewers about Trump. Trump was quick to call out the sham questioner on his Twitter account.

Lauren Batchelder- another tool of the establishmentarians and of the Bush Family in general. And without a spine, apparently... scrubbing her social media trail.

Feckless.

Just as the local RINO Republicans continue to cram their back-alley choices upon the voters (can you say "Brewer"?) the national RINO Republicans led by Reince Priebus are doing all they can to shove Jeb Bush down our gullets.

Sitting out the local election, no doubt about it (there are no "choices" but politicians who are spoon-fed to us) and definitely sitting out the national election if I am only given (yes, given) another Bush, another McCain, another Romney, another Dole, etc. Tired of these same old, aging white politicians which come to think of it more aptly identify the Democrat roster than the young Turks the system attempts to keep out of the process.

Stop supporting Trump!

But Anon 9:13, all the young Turks, including Justin Amash (except Massie on a technicality), failed to support the Iran deal. These people are all basically in lockstep over the hyper militarized, AIPAC panhandling foreign policy. Without huge Dept of War (hasn't done anything for Defense in decades) cuts, the young are just like the old and nothing will change. Look at young "Tea Partier" Stephen Fincher now being the biggest proponent of Ex-Im Bank.

Anon 10:41, while I totally agree Republicans need to stop supporting big government and liberal Donald Trump, I don't agree with these tactics of CNN or the Jeb Bush campaign.

All our McMega-Media (Fox, MSNBC and CNN) are engaged in the confrontational so called interviews by their hired Pressitutes. Trump is right to call out this audience plant. The McMega-Media has launched one torpedo after another at Trump. It's true Trump seems to relish it. The McMega-Media can than derive some ratings from some exclusive with Trump. I have to give Trump credit he is playing the Pressitutes on Fox, MSNBC and CNN like a heavy metal band.

The reverse side of the coin is the Bernie Sanders Black Out by the Pressitutes. His huge rallies are hardly mentioned if it all. The Corporate Democrats see the SS Hillary sinking and now want to latch onto that ever dependable Corporate Democrat Joe Biden. MSNBC is just a Hillary shill, their Pressitutes should be on her payroll.

The bottom line our McMega-Media will not give you much air time to discuss issues and compare and contrast the differences between the candidates. It is all sound bytes.

Complete lack of journalist ethics by doing that.

Politics is as dirty as a septic tank.

At least a septic has some utility.
