I can imagine him peeking out from backstage wagging his finger trying to get Bret's attention so he can respond.

Fox playing with a different playbook than I thought.
Instead of "drag down Hilary", it's "fuck it, if it ain't Trump, it's cool"

Dem in office is better for ratings
The person who shouted, "What is it!?"--Props to her.
I feel as though Hillary actually handled that really well. She explained thoroughly what kinds of costs should be reduced and why. However, she did dodge the question of how she plans on paying for it. She mentions that her numbers "add up" and by the end of that answer, she mentions $100 billion a year. That's not very different from Sanders' proposition where he has been explaining how it will be paid for all along.

Hilary really nailed why she's winning. She stated she's not going to promise you the moon, she's stating what she feels she can get done.
I'll vote for either Bernie or her.

Hillary is astonished Fox didn't try to kill her campaign.
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty confident in both of the candidates and wouldn't mind seeing either in the oval office.

They hit her hard on Libya and emails.
Its not the first time this week a Fox plan has backfired

Both of them did really well.
They really went at Trump the last debate. He's on their shitlist.

They've been so much harder on the republicans then the dems tonight. I think it's because they didn't want to look like they were attacking them.

Hillary won hands down.
And I didn't expect Baier to go over the board.

I gotta correct myself from earlier. While it won't change and staunch republican minds that was a good look for both candidates.

Yeah, but those were just general questions that would need to have been addressed to the audience at some point in her campaign. The thing is, they didn't push her on it. They let her answer (for the most part) and moved on. It was a very good town hall for independents and moderate Republicans who really needed those sorts of questions answered.

This was a good town hall. It didn't change my mind on who I will vote for, but I definitely made me feel more comfortable with Hilary if she became president. I really think Fox News did a great job, hard questions that were pretty fair. I hope that they do more of these, however unlikely that might be.
Pretty steady stuff tonight. No great surprises and the candidates repeated a lot of their previous campaign speeches. Fox surprisingly did a decent job and didn't attempt to ambush Clinton. The answers given probably won't sway too many people in the primaries between the two but I felt Clinton came off the best and performed quite well.
I'll eat crow and admit when I said this;
I was wrong.
Both candidates looked good in front of a hostile audience. I can only imagine there are a lot of moderate, establishment Republicans and independents watching and lamenting all the adults seem to be running on the other side of the aisle.

The audience wasn't hostile at all lol. Did you actually watch it?
I mean in the sense it's Fox News, not in the sense that they were flinging shit.

I'll eat crow too. I thought this would be an unmitigated disaster. Instead, Hillary showed how well she knows foreign policy. She shows she can answer the BS email question, and she was able to handle a heckler very well.
Yup. That's all you can hope for is that some independent/moderate republicans were watching this and are fed up with what the GOP has become.

Hillary is hitting her stride
I like these town halls much better. While debates are needed I feel too many of them just don't help at times. These give the candidates enough time to answer and explain.
Maybe some of them tune into the next Dem debate and get shocked they're talking about issues and policy and not dick size and poll numbers.

Fox News is actually fairly moderate and at least tries to be fair and balanced (unlike MSNBC which doesn't even pretend to be bipartisan). This was one of the best Democratic town halls and I hope to see the candidates on Fox News more.

This isn't true in the slightest. They're better at being a conservative network this cycle but that's the highest praise they can get. MSNBC is more moderate if anything.

Fox News did fine with a Town Hall, but fuck no they aren't fair and balanced outside of that. We have decades of evidence concerning that, and we know who owns and runs the network, and we know they were actively trying to make Rubio looks as good as humanly possible before he had zero chance.
Fox News is one the worst things to happen to Broadcast "journalism". Hell, to the country.
Using the word moderate to describe either of those networks is an oxymoron.

There's a big difference between a Greta, Wallace or Shepard Smith and Hannity or O'Reilly.
