Trump told an RNC crowd, “I don’t care if I’m registered or not,” then made them repeat a pledge to “cheat like hell.” When a president mocks the rules that make elections fair, every eligible voter needs to be registered and ready. #GetReadyToVote social.demcast.com/s/xue3qHth

It's Bari Weiss. The audience has already run away from the CBS Evening & Morning news- setting historic new lows. Now the same thing is happening to 60 Minutes. Americans are smart. They know that something is amiss at CBS News and they are responding by changing the channel.
