Related: About this forumWow! The debate crowd loves Bernie!
Nice to hear the applause.
Clinton is getting hit kinda hard in these debate. First question about the MI loss and second question about her emails.
"Would you drop out of the race if you are indicted?" HOLY BUCKETS!

(18,115 posts)That is a surreal question for a presidential candidate.
CoffeeCat
(24,411 posts)The first time she ignored the question.
The second time she was visibly angry and she said, "I'm not going to answer that question!"
morningfog
(18,115 posts)Why does she have to punt on that?
CoffeeCat
(24,411 posts)She said, "That is NOT going to happen!"
Edited to add; The question was...would she drop out if she was indicted.

(18,115 posts)I have the debate on now.
I have never thought she would get indicted, but if she left the question hanging there, I would wonderz

Forgetting the election, its not unsurprising.

(11,785 posts)question the first time and not sound defensive/angry about it.
Ruby the Liberal
(26,219 posts)She shot herself in the foot so many times it blew my mind. Recalling back then, I mentally laid it all at Mark Penn's feet (and the campaign certainly threw him under the bus a few dozen times), but see now that this is just her and her MO.

CoffeeCat
(24,411 posts)and she also said, "That's NOT going to happen!"
bigwillq
(72,790 posts)She needs to answer the question and not dodge it. It's going to be asked over and over, and it should be.

(25,290 posts)Sounds like the crowd is with him.
The questions are really pointed and they are not throwing softballs. This is shaping up to be an interesting debate.

(15,435 posts)different this time around. I live in a Red County, but we've been organizing events on our own all around the place. Some event of another seems to be happening every week. It started back arrow the very first debate. We had debate Parties for just The Democratic candidates. Usually, the parties start happening after each nominee has been decided.
Not sure what it means, but here in my area I can't recall this ever happening. I haven't seen ONE Hillary bumper sticker, but I Bernie's on our cars, we've had shirts for a long time too. Could be the Social Media stuff, but these events aren't ones that Bernie Operatives set up. It's just "we the people." So, even though I'm very anxious about what The Clinton Machine & DWS nasty lady can and will do maybe it's 50/50.
Just don't know for sure. Just know what's happening in my area. As I said it's different than any other election and I'm not sure what to think. I haven't gotten my hopes up because it's seems like Florida will be hard sell for him. I really don;t know though, lots of people love him.

(50,986 posts)has been unable to locate a theme and rationale for your candidacy by say, mid-April, would you consider dropping out of the race on grounds that there was never really any reason to be in it in the first place?"
