The evening did not disappoint - with Trump repeatedly steamrolling host Kaitlan Collins at every turn, making fun of his rape accuser's dog (or cat) named "vagina," promising to settle the war in Ukraine "in one day," and then - a crestfallen panel of CNN hosts afterwards with Jake Tapper nearly in tears, and then a panel of voters torching the network in an post-event interview.
