Thank you, CNN, for the pre-debate trailer we never knew we wanted.
“If you thought round one was intense, you haven’t seen anything yet” says CNN announcer #BOOM

More like a #THUD, actually. Take a look:
Here’s the intro to the #CNNDebate that resembled the opening to a reality-show https://t.co/BPHyrMRyTr

Is this an intro or a movie trailer? #CNNDebate

Who is doing this voiceover on CNN? Sounds like a movie trailer – Is he about to say “In a world…" #CNNdebate

@DianneG @CNN I thought it was like an #SNL movie trailer skit

Is this a bad movie trailer or a CNN promo? #GOPDebate

this is so funny. The voiceover is so cheesy. #CNNDebate

This is the worst intro-video since The Joe Franklin Show

You've got to be fucking kidding me with these credits or whatever the fuck they are #CNNDebate

Whose stupid idea was the breathless voiceover? #GOPDebate
— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) September 16, 2015
Whoa who is this bad-movie-trailer voice guy?

Did it suck then, too?
And the plane, embarrassed by the CNN intro, rolls away quietly
