    its always an ambush when someone asks a question he doesn't want to answer.

    Trump and his followers are the biggest snowflakes.

    I would not be surprised if Trump flames out in the fist debate, wines about how unfair everybody is to him and drops from the remaining debates.

    It's weird because I saw digital/TV ads for this ambush for the last week. It's like some sort of reverse psychology ambush - like "this CNN primetime tuesday night ambush is the perfect place for an ambush, therefore the ambush is going to be in the form of NOT AN AMBUSH" - but then they quadruple crossed him with the ambush.

    Or maybe the President is just dumb and suffering from a series of mini-strokes.

    Mini-strokes explain everything.

    It is inappropriate for trumpers to use this rhetoric when cops are actually getting "ambushed" in the streets. They need to open their eyes and shut their mouth for a change. Same goes for Trump himself.

    Is this sarcasm?
    It's not the first time cops have been ambushed. Our soldiers have been ambushed too. Fertitta wanted to "step on throats" despite terrorist doing that to our citizens. Can we not be censored and express our ideas in the best way we can? I thought political correctness is something Republicans rile up against? You seem to be appropriating the whole of English language for sake of someones' feelings. At least PC culture only appropriates a "cultural" portion of the language we speak.

    Sorry if I offend someone with this sentiment

    It's inappropriate tor trumpers to use this rhetoric because it was not anywhere near anything that could be considered an ambush...by any definition of the word.

    Have you thanked your local airline pilot for their service?

    Look on the bright side, if an ambush happens on CNN and nobody sees it, did it really happen?

    They should admit Trump "choked" like some of our policemen have in pressure situations.

    Not my words, but if POTUS uses it, it's bigly doable?

    Please answer me this. Riddle me this, riddle me that: Did someone (journalist, whomever) first introduce the possibility of a "series of mini-strokes", or did he offer the denial of what had not been mentioned on a plate, giving the game away?

    Howard Simons : Did you call the White House press office?
    Bob Woodward : I went over there; I talked to them. They said Hunt hadn't worked there for three months. Then a PR guy said this weird thing to me. He said, "I am convinced that neither Mr. Colson nor anyone else at the White House had any knowledge of, or participation in, this deplorable incident at the Democratic National Committee."
    Howard Simons : Isn't that what you expect them to say?
    Bob Woodward : Absolutely.
    Howard Simons : So?
    Bob Woodward : I never asked about Watergate. I simply asked what were Hunt's duties at the White House. They volunteered he was innocent when nobody asked if he was guilty.
    Howard Simons : Be careful how you write it.

    Small hands, mini-strokes. All makes sense.

    I wasn't giving you s***. Just reiterating that any whining about being ambushed is weak.

    Seems like he should have learned his lesson after Woodward.

    This is just additional proof of his debilitated mental condition.

    meh, they clearly weren't undecided voters as claimed is the point

    watch the relative cupcake questions Biden gets at his townhall (and he will of course be given them ahead of time)
