1. Too bad few people know the background of that guy. First, he's 22 years old....

.....and has NEVER voted. He just recently registered for the first time. Second, he's been out campaigning for Sanders. That "question" was a setup.

[appalachiablue]

2. It's not just this man or young persons, many people think Clinton has issues with honesty.

Perhaps she will evolve in this area.

6. A Bernie plant? Nt

8. Pick 10 young people throughout the US, at least one thinks this, maybe more

since they follow issues very closely, mainly through social media and their future is most at stake. Right now it's looking very bleak, a Lost Generation possibly. The man was no plant and he damn sure represents many others of his age as he said, who are living with uncertainty and distress in these times. It's common knowledge. Maybe you heard.

12. This person probably doesn't / didn't follow the issues very closely since he never even....

....bothered to register to vote (and ACT on issues via the ballot box) until four years after he was eligible.

16. Oh sorry

I thought if a candidates supporter was asking a question it was automatically a plant.

[George II]

7. You missed the point - here we have a seemingly "concerned citizen" basically insulting....

....Clinton to her face, and he turns out to be a non-voting Sanders supporter.

If that's the caliber of supporter Sanders's campaign is wooing, no wonder he's behind in most states.

9. You're right. He should be punished for insulting her to her face....

Thumbscrews?

[George II]

10. Maybe Sanders could have found a more credible supporter to put in the audience.

11. Maybe a pirate outfit would have helped.

13. She's an extremely tough lady, has been through it ALL, has had misery and millions

thrown at her, remember? She's fully able to take questions, many, many of them.

[A Simple Game]

14. The young man didn't try to hide the fact he was a Bernie supporter.

Unlike what could have been any number of planted "concerned citizens" in the audience he was up front and honest about who he was. Why would you be concerned about an honest person asking a question that is voiced by many in his and other age groups? What would have been a better question, "is red your favorite color?" Or would you think that was a gotcha question considering what she was wearing?

3. I think she did well with that question but when I heard "I've had millions... spent against me"

I thought she was going to brag about the millions she had made on the talk circuit. LOL

She also answered the honesty question with "I had been a good person before you were born" kind of answer, which is actually her problem - she was for universal health care before she sold out. And so it goes. Oh well.

[swilton]

15. I think this is one of the few times I've seen her respond with grace

and I give her credit for that.

Her stance may help with undecided and maybe this guy was undercover....

I have seen that some of the audience was given preselected questions so who knows.

[FreakinDJ]

4. Her flip flops make her seem disingenuous

[U of M Dem]

5. Sooooo like HRC...

answer a charge of dishonesty with disingenuity.

"We want to have a good primary to pick a nominee, and then we want to have everybody to join together to make sure we win in November." -HRC

Yea right.

"I have been on the front lines of change and progress since I was your age." - HRC

It would be more accurate to say she has been riding the coat tails of others' progress and has been stubbornly evolving to match the times.

Has she really been on the front lines?

For civil rights?

Trade?

Foreign Policy?

And to be clear, these are not right wing talking points, they are observations that any person can make based on HRC's record.
