The Set-up

The CNN moderator, Anderson Cooper, asked an obvious set-up question of Donald Trump in the presidential debate last Sunday night ... clearly anticipating today's New York Times smear-Trump article ... see: CNN Video. This question presaged what the New York Times was to publish about Trump's supposed sexual peccadillos over these last many years. Such pre-election brickbats have been persistent October-surprise tactics of the Gray Lady against the Republican presidential nominees over at least the last three election cycles. Do you think that there might have been some collusion between Hellary's campaign, CNN and the New York Times?

Perish the thought!
