WikiLeaks: DNC and CNN colluded on questions for Trump, Cruz Quote: Newly released emails from WikiLeaks suggest that the Democratic National Committee colluded with CNN in devising questions in April to be asked of then-Republican primary candidate Donald Trump in an upcoming interview. In an email to DNC colleagues on April 25 with the headline "Trump Questions for CNN," a DNC official with the email username DillonL @ dnc.org asked for ideas for an interview to be conducted by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer . . . CNN said the report was "unremarkable" and that the network regularly communicates with both Republicans and Democrats when preparing for interviews. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/wikileaks-dnc-and-cnn-colluded-on-questions-for-trump-cruz/article/2606651 With all those highly intelligent Journalists, Contributors, and staff at CNN, one would think they could come up with their own list of questions.

Re: WikiLeaks: DNC and CNN colluded on questions for Trump, Cruz Arguably, CNN should never be able to do a presidential debate again. They have lost so much credibility.

OK CNN, Then produce some emails sent to the RNC asking for interview questions for Democrat candidates. I wont hold my breath. CNN has really been "caught with their pants down" and we see them for who they really are

Re: WikiLeaks: DNC and CNN colluded on questions for Trump, Cruz Just one more example of the plague of dishonest which has infected our country and which has been made apparent by this election cycle. Our culture has become so dishonest people can't even tell when they or others are being dishonest Or that there is anything intrinsically wrong with it. Or that it is not to be lauded as "clever" and "ingenious".

I don't even plan to bother with debates anymore. They no longer provide me with information that is important to me in making my voting decision.

Re: WikiLeaks: DNC and CNN colluded on questions for Trump, Cruz It not so much that there are corrupt people in politics and media that is disturbing. That's always been the case. It's our lack of outrage by the general public that is the most significant indicator of our moral decay. __________________ "Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashionable".

Re: WikiLeaks: DNC and CNN colluded on questions for Trump, Cruz I would respect Wikileaks if they posted one non-Trump item. I am beginning to believe there is a right-wing conspiracy. And Wikileaks has been bought. __________________ 'Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.'

I am beginning to believe there is a right-wing conspiracy. And Wikileaks has been bought. Assange said they don't have anything similar for Trump, Jill Stein, etc. Right. Right-wing conspiracy. Obama/DOJ shielded Clinton. Media is wrapped around Hillary's finger. Saudi cash. But there's a right-wing conspiracy. Tried to blame Russia. Debunked. People are sick of the radical left, racial politics, political correctness gone haywire, being forced to accept "gay marriage", radical abortion agenda, being sued for not baking a cake, being sued for not offering contraception as healthcare, not protecting the borders, doing nothing about jobs, being at the mercy of wall street and corporate greed. __________________ "In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
