Because they're stupid. They actually thought they were going to make him look bad

This isn't the same CNN we are used to.

Trump doesn’t change independent voters.

He plays to his base.

CNN plays to theirs.

They want to paint him as a boogeyman again.

Ratings

People just can’t quit Trump.

Even if they hate him.

This will be CNN's highest rated show in years. Supposedly Trump chose to go there to screw Fox

Because they’re not used to anyone opposing their views and thought they would walk all over him. Then afterward all they could do was talk about his “lies”.

They needed to generate an audience.

And they will have enough 'stuff' to misrepresent that they can regurgitate their same old lies with fresh 'verbiage' and perhaps live to fight another day.

Because both Fox and CNN are pivoting. Slowly but surely. In 4 years Fox will look like what CNN does.

Trump went there today because they were sure never to give him the opportunity to spoil their free for all ever before. Which he without a doubt considered an opportunity to destroy whoever their host might be, and even they would have been/were aware of his capabilities. He’s never dodged their questions before, during his actual Presidency (White House lawn too many times to count, press conferences, etc), and he would have gladly taken them up in this same invitation long ago had they offered.

I don't think it will go that far, but CNN knows Fox is shedding viewers and trying to cash in. And I'm sure it's a ratings hit for them

Remember that CNN is under new ownership. The new boss has stated he wants to get rid of the partisan hacks and has already fired some of them. Sounds like they want to go more centrist
