Re:The Town Hall

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It seems that some folks were upset that the DNC were allowing a debate or a pseudo-debate in violation of their own rules. The candidates won't even be on the stage at the same time.

They will each be having separate one half hour town halls at Drake University.

1. Not this Bernie supporter. I look forward to it. Better late than never, as they say. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. It will be useful. But it's not as if the DNC is abandoning its own rules to favor a candidate./nt

[LondonReign2]

21. They are abandoning their own rules because they see Hillary sinking

DWS would never have allowed it if Hillary was pulling away

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Can you point to me in the rules where town halls are prohibited?

Thank you in advance?

32. Lol. Good one!

Good one. And Clinton won't know the questions beforehand either.

[DaGimpster]

26. I'm also looking forward to tonight. This is a format our candidate does well in.

3. With Clinton minions asking questions?

That should be good. I look forward ti it.

4. Do you have any evidence for you assertion?

Do you have any evidence for you assertion?

If you don't I would ask you peer into your conscience, do the right thing, and withdraw your calumny.


Thank you in advance.

6. This is a DWS hail mary. Need I say more?

No.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. That is not evidence, sir or madame...

And as I said in my seminal post it is nothing more than rolling joint town halls.

[restorefreedom]

12. the organizer is part of team clinton

dr andy mcguire, cochair of the iowa campaign for clinton in 2008 has set up this town hall.

seems to be a leeeeetle partial, imo

but the questions will be the answer. if cuomo is fair and the audience is not full of Hillary plants, then good for dr mcguire. if it appears to be rigged in her favor, it will only backfire on her.

[litlbilly]

8. Hillary will get nothing but softballs, Bernie wont. Hillary's last gasp courtesy of DWS, it wont

work. they think its about Bernie, it isn't, its about the people and the people are fed up with the 1% running everything and screwing everyone. Watch the sane progressive video, she absolutely nails it on the head. They think Bloomberg will rescue the 1% if Hillary blows it. Not gonna happen IMO

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Where is the evidence the crowd will be stacked?

Isn't it incumbent on someone to have some proof before he or she makes an allegation?



Thank you in advance.

10. Who do you think will select the questions? Cmon DSB, you know better than that.

[litlbilly]

11. You know the DNC is doing this to rescue Hillary, no other reason. If they could have done it

without Bernie, they would have.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I suspect the questions will be chosen randomly.

It doesn't make sense CNN would allow themselves to be part of a charade.

[litlbilly]

14. It would be nice if they were random. We will see.

[elias49]

20. Remember the last Dem debate? Were those ?? random?

Not only did Andrea Mitchell ask softball of Hillary and Clintonesque, cheap shots of Sanders ("you can't really believe in single-oayer do you?", those debate moderators forgot MOM almost entirely. It was structured to pit Clinton against Sanders in a most obvious way.
So, hell yeah, CNN will allow a charade. What ever the money men and women want.
(I trust you watched the debate I refer to?) What say you?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. The questions were fair. If you like I can find you the address of your DNC so you can lodge ...

30. Drake University is organizing the event

Can you please adduce the evidence they are in cahoots with Secretary Clinton?



Thank you in advance.

[litlbilly]

31. If they werent, this event wouldnt even be taking place.

[litlbilly]

33. what I posted pretty much proves Hillary will only be asked planted pre approved questions.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. But it was at her town hall

Why would you accuse Drake University of untoward behavior?


Isn't Drake University entitled to the presumption of innocence which is at the core of our system of justice?


Thank you in advance.

36. Just saw a story on latest page here where one of her plants admitted to being given the question

She was to ask.

[libdem4life]

19. The Moderator has a license plate that says Hillary 2016. Maybe that doesn't qualify?

Then I read she had been replaced, but the last was that this "bipartisan" person would be moderating. I mean, WTF? Yes, I know, they are neutral...in political dreams.

[bigdarryl]

23. No this person doesn't have any proof they are just spewing BULLSHIT!!!

[litlbilly]

34. where's your proof? think before you speak

[MoonRiver]

5. Seems fine to me.

I'm looking forward to watching it!

[ViseGrip]

15. Why trust this when Hillary has already been caught stacking the audience via chosen questions?

[ViseGrip]

17. ps...THIS WARRENTS IT'S OWN POST!

[zappaman]

29. So what's stopping you?

[snagglepuss]

16. Are the town halls run simultaneously or do MOM and Hill get to

discuss with their teams while sittine in separate rooms how best to rebut Bernie?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. How can you televise three simultaneous town halls?

[ypsfonos]

37. With 3 cameras... nt

There is only one stage.

27. How do you know Sanders goes first?

[Thinkingabout]

28. I am going to see if Sanders has come up an answer to a foreign policy

Question other than a financial response. I will be recording those town hall meetings for later viewing.
