2. It's like a Town Hall about the election

Three panelists: Michael Moore, Ana Navarro, Rick Santorum and voters in the audience from both sides. The opened with a family who voted for Obama twice...Democratic family...husband voted for Trump, wife did not vote for anyone for president but voted Democrat all the rest of the ballot. They explain why they made the choice they did. Next panelists are coming out and the audience will ask questions and discuss.

I can't believe that CNN sux this bad. Rick Santorum is a jerk to the highest degree and doesn't deserve the respect Van Jones is showing him. I see why i don't watch this crap anymore.

all it does is make Repugs look legitimate, which they aren't. Unfortunately, we have to be dragged through all the SH#$ before the morons that voted for them realize it.

Just in case people were not aware of this..."law and order" is actually a white supremacist dog whistle phrase.

I can't believe he let the Trump voter from Michigan say "Trump was the only one bringing these trade issues up." I was screaming BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE at my tv. And unlike Trump who stiffs people who work for him, Bernie has a long and documented history of standing up for the struggling and voiceless. Too bad Moore didn't hit back with that.

Typical low info "me" type authoritarian goober.

"He's done more for me than Democrats ever did."

We'll see what tune you're singing in a few years, asshole.

Typical idiot trying to act tough.

Let's talk to him again in two years. Michael Moore said the same thing. That the idiot is going to be very disappointed in Trump.

I could easily vote for her because she's moderate. I've only voted exclusively Democratic since McCain subjected us all to that idiot Sarah Palin.

He said the Dems need to represent the 2.5 million more people who voted for Hillary.

Good point. Good advice to Dems.
