CNN commentators lament that Michael Cohen was a flop for Trump resistance 😭 washex.am/2Trt9Ip
"There were a lot of Democrats (this includes CNN and the rest) today with bags of popcorn expecting to see the crumbling of the Trump presidency," said host @AndersonCooper, who led the eight-pundit panel discussion.
"That didn't happen," said @JeffreyToobin, a commentator for the cable network.
... it was a disappointment to the anti-Trump forces, because what Cohen said, everybody thought, well, maybe Cohen can implicate him and make him tie him to this," said panelist David Gergen, a former presidential adviser who served four administrations.
"And Cohen says, 'I have no direct knowledge. I have suspicions.' Well, that doesn't really add up to much."
"The beginning of it left me a little cold, because I felt like he just had to get his digs in there. And I think for the general audience, it may have been, 'Oh, he's just part of the resistance.' And that shouldn't be the case," said Gloria Borger, CNN political analyst.
The poor resistance. They pinned all their hopes of bringing down Trump on a bitter, lying, criminal little man.
