Breaking: Hillary Clinton to Participate in FOX NEWS Town Hall in Michigan

Source: Brett Baier - Town Hall Moderator

Just announced by Brett Baier on his FOX evening show.

The panel said debating is her strong point, so it's not surprising she's making this choice.

They're in a hurt locker of pain. She may also want to solidify her cred on the Flint affair.

This could be very good if he does. Hillary has been on the forefront of the Flint mess from the very beginning, giving it exposure and going to Flint herself.

Sanders is doing it too. Not sure if it's on the same day but you know they'll throw him softballs and try to eviserate her.

Of course she'll handle herself beautifully like she always does. And Bernie will bumble and yell as he always does. But still. Just being a part off their sideshow is degrading.

The town hall would've gone ahead anyway, and they would have made a federal case about her absence.

And, yes, she'll handle herself beautifully.

They would have made a federal case about her absence. I actually thought I included that in my last reply. My mind is feeling kind of pickled at this point in my day. lol

I understand why they both are doing it, and I suppose the outreach is justified, but I don't feel comfortable with it. Of course, it does no good to constantly preach to the choir!
