so yeah, terror will be a topic because the prospect of Trump or Cruz in the WH is terrifying.

I'm tired of fearmongering BS war propaganda, myself. Would like to hear some real discussion of issues that actually matter to regular folks.

I think the terror of Honduran orpans and displaced refugees should be mentioned for sure.

8. unless hillary tries to trott out her failed "i protected ny after 911" routine,

then no.

this is going to be an economic blowout and is right in bernie's wheelhouse. tpp, unions, lost jobs, wall street, lack of transcript transparency, superpacs, rigged economy, rigged politicl system, etc.

i predict bernie will be gloves off and a full on meltdown by hillary is coming

between the looming fbi probe, a uuuge rally for bernie, the news that almost record breaking new dems signed up to vote (i am guessing not for her), and what are probably horrible internals for ny, the pressure is there with just a nudge needed. and i do not think bernie is going to hold back on pushing it.

10. you think they will be allowed to ignore it in NYC? I doubt that.

I don't think a lot of non-myers get how much we are okay with "extra security" because we have been targeted.
I get why other towns feel the Homeland Security money and weapons pork they took was a bad idea, but NYC was underfunded. And we aren't as big on the "freedoms" or the 2nd amendment and NSA spying that much of the rest of you are.

but the main issues are going to be economic imo.

although i have no issue with them talking about it, i just don't know if they will. its up to wolfie.

13. I would think in NYC- more than the other debate locales- it will come up.

The MSM loves red meat. Both should be prepared to deal with questions about keeping NYC secure.

msm as you said wants the meat. they love to push buttons its gonna depend on whether wolfie wants to push the terror button or the economy button. maybe he will go for it and cover both.

i would not mind seeing them both respond to the latest report that we would need something like 50000 troops to beat isis


i don't see the american people having the stomach for that.

edit for link..yes, its the daily caller but it has the generals quote for troop#

15. I think Hill will attack Bernie's basic competence and ability to be president.
Thu Apr 14, 2016, 05:49 PM
Apr 2016

Her campaign announced that this would be their strategy from here on out. She attacked his competence and mental abilities in regard to the NY Daily News interview and in her coy "my father told me to read the fine print" message. I think this is their plan. It's going to be an attempt to undermine his image in the eyes of the American people. I hope he will be ready for it.

and advised by monsters like Brock.

I fear it because I expect her to be underhanded and dirty.
