Why? I'm going to assume the Clinton camp knows Frank Luntz will be providing a few "independent" voters to ask questions.
Ship it.
Since Bernie committed I can see her campaign thinking they have to.
I'm not too worried about Hillary. She always outperforms him at these things, nor is she as native as Bernie seems to be.
They're walking into a trap, and only Hillary seems to know it.

So nice I wrote it twice.
Someone's going to ask about the emails, paid speeches and Benghazi I guarantee it. Nothing of substance on the water crisis will be asked about.

They will ask her in the general as well so consider it practice.

Cooper and McCrory have been in a dead heat in the polls for some time now. But McCrory's approval rating is terrible. He was voted in through the support of the bigger cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, but I'm sure at this point he's lost their support. Cooper isn't really known, but I'm guessing that'll change by summer time. If we can at least elect Cooper, and break the veto-proof Republican majority, I'll be happy.
I don't really watch TV, so I don't know if Sanders is blowing up the airwaves, but I did get a call to vote for Sanders this month.
Also Vince Foster and whatever else they can dredge up.
Tesseract is already pivoting to Trump, I expect at least half the Bernie stans to follow suit.
I was just thinking this after I read that article.
What kind of shit has Brownback done to the Kansas coffers to make his "conservatopia" that has failed spectacularly.
Is my son going to be able to get a decent education in this state?

Oh come on, you have read the polls you know its a very very small minority.
I think Huelen's coming around, too. Massive numbers of Democrats are moving to the Republican party this year so it makes sense.

BTW is it true no Flint questions were asked last night? Great minority outreach, guys.

There was 1 i think.
That's not going to stop the blatant insults directed towards Bernie supporters, unfortunately.

They asked one to Rubio where he basically attacked democrats for "politicizing" the issue while simultaneously praising Snyder. No pushback from moderators and they quickly went to the next topic. So there's that.

Is the crux of Bernie's youth support based on the fact that he wants to make higher education free? How would his youth support look like if he wasn't for free college?

Lmao no I'm not, scribbling Bernie or Jill
WE HAVE TO BUILD A WALL
I will probably advocate for many of Trump's positions in the GE tho. If he pivots center on healthcare, jobs, education.
No that is not true. There was only one and Rubio answered it.
kansas is so conservative it a wonder Sebelius made it in there in 2002. Kansas will elect someone just as conservative as Brownback. Democrats have no chance there.
Indeed. I have a lot of faith in her.
I'm not talking about him necessarily but I guess a racist and inconsistent, clownish candidate is better than a candidate with the perception they're dishonest to certain people. Hmm...
One question that was largely tangential. Rubio was asked more generally about infrastructure, and he took the opportunity to praise Snyder. That was it.
Is it true they spent more time talking about their penis size than lead poisoning in Flint?
Sanders question: "What is your favorite pet, and how will your awesome Socialism allow me to buy one for my very wery self?"
Clinton question: "Hello, Mrs. BILL CLINTON. What, in your view, is the meaning of life, how do you reconcile that with your faith in a Christian God, and how will this effect the citizens of Detroit who have been FUCKED OVER by your trade policies? Oh, and Assisted Suicide -- good or bad? Go."
My impression is it's because of how much farther left he is on a great many issues. Income inequality being one of the big ones that encompasses a lot of problems with our nation. And in some ways on social issues as well, to be frank.
I believe so.

that was sad that the Flint question didn't go to all the candidates but then they spent more time talking about Religiosity that took 5 times of air time
having that question fall on Rubio was a total waste... who am I kidding, the other guys want to scrap the EPA (Koch brothers!)
Your evolution begins. I seen you claiming Trump isn't racist in other threads.
Yeah not sure why people are freaking, initially I was worried it was just Sanders because to me that just sounds like questioners trying to coax a confession from a witness via harassment, having both there will keep each other on message and might actually help spread some of their message to a potentially hostile audience. Hilary is trying to 'look' presidential and Bernie is a message candidate, they can both gain something by standing in the lions den especially with so many republicans in the more moderate wing of the party questioning if they could even vote for Trump. You don't have to be there to convince everyone to gain something from it.
Oh please. This is Fox. They think socialism is a boogeyman word. Pre-emptively acting like he won't get unfair questions and only Hillary will is ridiculous.

No, I said I've seen no evidence of racism
The right is throwing anything that'll stick. If we're gonna do that, Hillary is no daisy.
He might be a racist, I have no idea.

Yeah, Trump had to bring him down. He systematically destroyed anyone he's seen as a threat so far.
Yup, it hurts to know a couple are supporting Trump. I shouldn't have been surprised though, considering I got in a argument about BLM and police brutality with them after they shit talked the victims in April of last year.
Yeah, people thought he'd beat Trump. That was almost 4 months ago? Sheesh, time sure flies!
Lol did you watch the townhall before last? Bernie was allowed to stay in his corporate greed wheelhouse, while Hillary was asked questions involving Jewish theism and Assisted Suicide. And this WASN'T Fox.
I just hope Hillary gets her rest.
Rubio said the governor did good and said we need to stop politicizing Flint.
Everyone except Kasich, his VP pick!

Hillary absolutely had to do the town hall. If she hadn't Fox News would have given Bernie an hour of prime time to shit on Hillary completely unchallenged. Now, he'll only have half an hour to shit on Hillary/Hillary's policies. It won't be fair to either of them, but at least she'll be there to defend herself after the fact.
Now, they'll try and throw shit at both of them to attempt to make the Democrats look like idiots so they can say "See? Democrats are the same!'
There's no way this ends well, but if you're team Hillary I think it's better that she's there to cut down on Bernie's air time.

The idea he's proposing is that they'd give bern only the slightest of jabs and overtly support the man in in order to increase the likelihood of facing a beatable candidate in the general.

Yes. Exactly. They want Bernie in the general. It's in their best interest to get the "see, even FOX likes Bernie" idiocy among the Bernie fans.
Yeah, I'm disappointed in Sanders for agreeing to do it. It feels like his Hail Mary is giving the right some free shots at Clinton.
There was one point where Trump scoffed at Rubio for discussing the triviality of Flint Michigan
Yeah, it's an issue where I think Hillary is to the right of Obama on, to her detriment. Being a neutral peace broker between Israel and Palestine should be a no-brainer, and Obama has done as well there as he could. I wish his tone and policies here would continue into Clinton's presidency.
Ludicrous.
