Five big reasons why it’s so very nice to be a Democrat

Published



President Donald Trump. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Bernie Sanders (I-VT). All three have done town halls with CNN, including one that featured the Democratic socialists on Wednesday night. Anchor Kaitlan Collins moderated the Trump town hall back when he was a candidate in 2023, and she also moderated the AOC-Bernie affair this week. 

As the headline says, it really is nice to be a Democrat in these situations. One reason is this interesting stat courtesy of the Media Research Center, which found that Collins interrupted Trump 113 times in 2023 over the course of the town hall, or approximately two times per minute. As for Sanders and AOC, they were interrupted just nine times, or more than 100 times less.
