    So, he should be careful?

    By trying to ask a question at a press conference when they weren't called on?

    Did anyone do this during a WH press conference with President Obama?

    CNN is guaranteed a question.

    It was actually the first time ever a reporter tried to ask a question out of turn.

    Which tape comes out first, Tom Arnold's copy of the Apprentice outtakes, where Trump uses the N-word and calls his kid the R-word, or the golden shower video.

    And, if the Apprentice video exists, surely Russian intelligence has a copy of it too, right?

    You're not wrong about any of this. Would it kill him to act like an actual adult once in a while?

    Obama's press conferences were the most scripted in history.

    Reporters knew in advance that they would get a question, and the President had a list of who to call on.

    It made news that he called on some smaller outlets while skipping over --and even freezing out -- some larger, more established outlets.

    No one who wasn't called on tried to jump in.

    Seems like a pretty low-risk experiment to run ...

    No. They waited until the State of the Union address:

    This is who he is.

    He thinks it works for him -- and to a degree, he's right. Any other Republican would have folded under the press onslaught.

    Hell, I would have liked to see any of these big time reporters question the Obama administration as aggressively as Rubio questioned Rex.

    Has anyone peppered the administration with questions about whether Putin is a war criminal?

    So, what is supposed to happen when it's not scripted?

    That's not a blank check to be a piece of shit.

    270 electoral votes was the blank check to be a piece of shit. Now we're just yelling about the barn doors being open while the horses run around on fire, setting everything ablaze
