I know that the current system of having dueling spokespersons is baked in, and probably good for ratings, but the effect on discourse is horrible.
In my opinion it would be much better to let campaigns give written statements on key issues, after which non-aligned journalists could discuss the facts.

“CNN’s “State of the Union”: Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, and RNC spokesman Sean Spicer”

One Democrat and two Republicans? How is CNN the “Clinton News Network” again?

Nice work, Jeff “Mother” Zucker.

Well, in all fairness, they did fire both Donna and Corey.

Conway and Spicer together? I feel a “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane” batshitcrazy tag-team meltdown coming on.

Was that before or after Trump released his full tax returns for the last 10 years?

Once again Ho shows his ignorance. The law is, if you are in line when the polls close, you still get to vote.

Serious question. Will anyone be watching after this endless campaign?

…well, maybe to hear Trump brag about how he survived an assassination attempt perpetuated by the Clinton campaign! She’s such a nasty woman!

I don’t think they fired Corey L. or we would have heard about it. He’s been ‘double-dipping’ this entire election season and CNN has continued to let him.

Believe it or not, this is very close to the original format of the show. A single individual would hold a live press conference with a panel of journalists who would question him or her. Hence, “Meet the Press”.

In the 1990s, when journalists no longer asked questions, the format moved to its present shape where a pseudo-journalist lets an individual tell whatever lies he or she wants or where the pseudo-journalist watches two or more individuals with differing viewpoints lie to each other.

It would be nice to go back to the old format, the only problem being where would one find a panel of non-aligned journalists in this day and age.

I heard on the radio yesterday that a Trump super PAC has paid Giuliani’s law firm over
½ a million dollars in “legal fees.” Sounds like a case of plausible deniability to me. It
allows Giuliani to deny he is a paid surrogate, but he sure is.
