My first impression was that Trump did poorly: CNN mission accomplished. After research and review, however, Trump was right to demure the CNN trap. "They lied" =/= "Bush lied." CNN however cashed in on the easy, though still logically invalid elision between the two. Trump dodges the trap by pointing out that it doesn't matter, the European migrant crisis, rapes of women and children, ISIS, etc. were all set off by the Iraq War and Bush's decision to embark upon it, regardless of how well the GOP establishment wants to think of him. Cooper has to press the lie question twice to try and goad Trump into the prepared trap: the questioner is the head of the Palmetto Family Council, establishment to the hilt, and Cooper has Trump's quote pre-prepared. Nice scripting CNN, better luck pulling the wool over your viewers' eyes next time.
