Why Did Hillary Ditch Good Morning America Today?

A town hall with presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been cancelled just hours before the event.

The Democratic front-runner had been set to appear on Good Morning America Friday morning, but ABC said in a statement on Thursday afternoon that the event was being rescheduled for a different time.

The network cited a 'scheduling issue' as the reason for the cancelled event.

When asked who had cancelled the event, ABC would not comment. Two executives from other networks told Dailymail.com that it was Clinton who cancelled at the last minute.

until a new part could be flown in from China and installed in her this morning.
It has greater resistance to skepticism and has built in algorithms designed to bubble sort key words and provide the proper dance around for any question.
Interesting.
You would think they would have spare parts for her on hand so she can make the shows.

a right-leaning UK newspaper.

Hillary agreed to this town hall as one possibility for the NY debate that Bernie had been asking for and the idea was that he waould join her there. When the debate was actually scheduled for tonight (April 14) and Bernie was due to head to the Vatican for his speech tomorrow, the need for this town hall was superseded by events.
