Susan Estrich in dailyherald: The media's conundrum in covering Donald Trump
It was an ugly Wednesday night Town Hall on CNN. Donald Trump in prime time, before an audience of true believers. To call it cringeworthy is an understatement. Fodder for another lawsuit is more like it. Trump at his most Trump-like. What he didn't tell the jury, he told the town hall. Here is what he said:

To watch Donald Trump in action, it seemed that he had already won the Republican nomination and was running in the general election again against Joe Biden. And that raises what is the fundamental question with Trump.
