1. Always follows the leader

And that leader is Bernie.

[retrowire]

2. Exactly.

And she'll certainly get the last word. Bet on it.

Unless Fox wants to prove how much they really despise Hillary, in which case they'll give Bernie the last word.

Who knows?

[randys1]

3. I havent been following this story, so if she didnt go can I assume

criticism from some around here would follow?

Cant win maybe?

SMH

When the smoke clears, try and focus, please, on the big picture.

[DirtyHippyBastard]

7. Yesterday one poster kept saying how proud they were that HRC, a real dem, was saying FU to fox

[randys1]

10. I think they both should, but like I said, around here, any decision she makes will

be criticized by some.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

14. The problem is

It looks like she changed her mind about going on only after Bernie had agreed to go on. If she had done so initially of her own accord there would be no issue.

[Duckhunter935]

51. she evolved, lol

[ellennelle]

22. why say no to fox?

i agree, they're slime. but their viewership suffers terribly low info, so getting a chance to offer more real stuff, esp. bernie, would seem a plus, no?

[Bubzer]

44. I can say the same for Bernie. Any decision he makes will be criticized.

56. I think it's important to have Faux News viewers exposed to good ideas and good candidates

Most will probably tune it out and/or respond in mock judgement but some others may learn a thing or two.

JMO....

[zentrum]

20. It wasn't just one.

They were making a pretty big deal over her integrity for refusing.

[LibDemAlways]

24. That poster beat that meme to death. Earned an Ignore in the

process. A real Democrat isn't afraid to enlighten the dark side and just might make a convert or two. Hillary is a latecomer and no doubt had a change of heart once the polls revealed that the gap is narrowing in Michigan. Well played, Bernie.

[saturnsring]

17. yea it's great huh? we have our own t-bag party

[7962]

28. I see she still cant handle them alone though. Going on with Bernie.

Town hall; no interview.

[Bubzer]

43. There were already all kinds of critisisms being cast at Bernie...

Such as: A real Democrat would never do a debate on fox news... and a variety of red-baiting implications... all from Hillary supporters.

So, yeah... your calls for clarity, and the big picture? They're targeted at the wrong group.

[Old Crow]

47. +1. Well said. (N/T)

[Locrian]

55. +1 I saw those posts

Her supporters are going to get whiplash from having to justify her filp flops.

[elljay]

64. They're already used to that!

[vdogg]

52. The criticism had already started around here.

Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

[Chicago1980]

8. Not really as she participated in an 11 hour Fox Town Hall in congress several months ago.

[Glamrock]

13. I don't think that's the case...

I'm thinking she is going on to undermine his message. Bernie picked up supporters at Liberty U when he spoke there. The last couple of GOP debates have been a disaster. He has a chance to really pick up a lot of support from this town hall. I think she'll spend most of her time bashing his policies. You know, damage control.

Just a guess. But, if she spends all her time trying to sell herself? Good on her. I hope she proves me wrong.

[Bubzer]

45. I think she'll prove you right.

[arcane1]

4. I guess she evolved again. n/t

[HoosierRadical]

5. I bet they go relatively easy on her compared to Bernie

their base loathes her, because they had been feed lies and distortions for over 20 years, but make no mistake about it, the corporate overlords prefer a self-serving "pragmatist" over a revolutionary who would put an end to their rule.

[Lazy Daisy]

6. I damned near spit my tea out

So what was that being said about Bernie yesterday?
Careful what you spew forth, it tends to splash back.

[Chicago1980]

9. I consider this her second time around as she participated in a town hall for Fox

during the Benghazi hearings.

[Kip Humphrey]

11. Why the change of heart? What did her investors tell her?

"Get back out there!"?

[jillan]

12. LOL! Surprise Surprise.

[scscholar]

15. I thought she had a sceduling conflict

Hopefully she isn't abandoning something useful for this farce.

[A Simple Game]

27. Scheduling conflict? No big deal, she probably just told Wall Street to mail their

checks this week because she couldn't pick them up in person.

[7962]

29. Maybe because she'll look weak continuing to ignore them when Sanders doesnt.

Because it looks exactly like that if he keeps getting interviewed and she avoids it.

[SoapBox]

16. OH good lawd...

Follow the leader is right.

How will she ShapeShift for this?

[saturnsring]

18. lol follow the leader -

[arcane1]

19. But name-calling is mature, right?

[navarth]

21. shouldn't feed trolls, my friend. nt

[arcane1]

35. Indeed n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

36. A lesson you might want to learn sometime.

[saturnsring]

37. um...yea .. ok ...great thanks for your help

[ChairmanAgnostic]

48. Ig

Nore is my friend

[saturnsring]

62. my apologies for that .... i removed it - it was uncalled for

[Warren Stupidity]

23. Clinton supporter: "Who would be dumb enough to appear on Fox".

[Bubzer]

46. Childish... like complaining when you dont get your way? Or calling names?

Nooooooo...that's not childish at all....

[Sunlei]

25. I think they both should always refuse any interviews with republican-fox.

[BlueMTexpat]

53. Bernie committed to doing

so, even after Hillary's scheduling conflict.

IMO, it would have been a political mistake for her to let him do such a thing alone. Also, IMO, it does not reflect well on Bernie agreeing to do a "Town Hall" anywhere by himself, just as it would not have reflected well on Hillary doing the same.

I'll wait to see whether I get a hide simply for stating my opinion about this.

[harun]

54. +1, all dems should boycott them

[Doctor_J]

59. I totally agree

[elljay]

65. Have to Disagree

Not because Fox is reputable, but because in this day and age, many people are only exposed to one viewpoint. There are millions of Fox viewers who never hear the other side and have no idea what it even is. It seems strange to us because we are politically motivated and search out factual information, but it is nevertheless the way it is. This may be the first opportunity they have had to hear the Democratic candidates in long form, rather than in very selective sound bites. Bernie, certainly, has nothing to lose and a lot to gain because his views are attractive to many of the disillusioned Republican and Independent Fox viewers. Hillary is unlikely to gain support - I suspect she has decided to do the Town Hall simply to tear down Bernie.

This is a good opportunity to spread a bit of truth to those unfamiliar with it.

[FreedomRain]

26. excellent

a chance fpr both our candidates to get in front of an audience they don't normally reach. Hope they are both prepared for Fox shenanigans, but I am sure they are

[bbgrunt]

30. she must be scared.

[CharlotteVale]

31. What a profile in courage.

[Fearless]

32. Guess she rescheduled the $2700 a plate dinner

...Or maybe that well has started to dry up?

[Bassomar]

38. That is hilarious, I wonder .

I wonder what all those Hillary supporters going to say now that she has joined. Haha

[JackRiddler]

39. Now FOX is good again.

[joshcryer]

40. Oh no, we're going to not like what FOX does.

No matter what they're going to trash both candidates to shreds.

[DallasNE]

41. Looks Like I Called It On Thursday

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1409211

But is it too little, too late as the impressions are already in place.

[Lancero]

42. I forget, but didn't we have someone going on and on...

About how 'real Democrats' say FU to Fox?

Oh yeah, we did - http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1408743

Wonder if she's still a 'real Democrat'?

[Cobalt Violet]

49. wonder if they'll let her cheat like MSNBC did.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

50. As a Fox commentator, I'd have one question:

BENGHAZI?!!11!?

Brett is not the worst, however. I hope she doesn't appear on Hannity.

[YOHABLO]

57. Their viewership? Really, they'll be watching? umm not so much.

My guess is that people in the ''dark'', as it were, will choose to remain in the dark. Isn't that usually how it works? The only reason their viewership would watch, would be to see if the panel really ''sticks'' it to them. Of course Bernie will put them in their place, I don't know how Hillary will respond when the ''Bengazi B.S." will begin. I suppose those FOX twits will go there. Who knows, maybe some of their viewership will watch .. that is if it doesn't coincide with ''Duck Dynasty".

[Doctor_J]

58. Just one more flip flop for her and all of her supporters

What else is new?

[rockfordfile]

63. Neither should be on that un-American pos right wing network
