[hrmjustin]

1. Show time!

[ProudToBeLiberal]

2. The main attraction. Let's go! nt

[Bread and Circus]

3. Booooo!!!

Just kidding

I wish her well. I am sure she will do great.

Sanders and O'Malley were wonderful. I am feeling hopeful.

[Matariki]

4. Who does Chris Cuomo luv!!?!

[Duckhunter935]

13. I guess we know now

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. Fawning!

[HerbChestnut]

5. And the CNN flattery begins...

my goodness...

[Renew Deal]

6. Asking about Obama's comments that Hillary is "wicked smart and knows every policy inside and out"

She was flattered

[virtualobserver]

72. "wicked smart" must have been for the New Hampshire crowd

[Renew Deal]

93. Maybe, but it was Obama that said it.

[virtualobserver]

103. I know....but It isn't the way that Obama normally speaks.

[JonLeibowitz]

164. Ben Affleck for President? n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

7. Lets start with something hard like. Just how much does President Obama love you?

[beam me up scottie]

14. LOL!

[Duckhunter935]

45. OMG

[Duckhunter935]

8. Wow, that

was a hard hitting question

[Duckhunter935]

9. now two

kissy kissy questions

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. she's wearing red!

shouldn't she be in blue?

[RoccoR5955]

173. She's wearing red

because she's trying to act like a RepubliCON.

[white_wolf]

11. Jesus, could this guy kiss any more ass? nt

[Gregorian]

24. Pretty chummy compared to O'Malley's intro.

[Duckhunter935]

52. I am sure he can

[OrwellwasRight]

12. I didn't respect him when I did the 3am phone call ad.

And when I mocked him in that speech about the heavens opening. And also when I said that sexism was worse than racism.

But then I loved him when he made me Secretary of State.

Now I am using the same tactics that failed against Obama against Sanders.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

58. +1

[azmom]

16. LOl

[ucrdem]

17. Ginger Rogers got some applause

And she's cheering up a little . . .

[firebrand80]

18. She was such a good Vice President

wait, what?

[Matariki]

19. I like Clinton

I won't hate voting for her if she wins.

I like Sanders much better of course and hope he wins, but I don't hate her.

I hate Chris Cuomo's moderation here though

[Renew Deal]

20. Horse race question

So far no substance in the questions

[beam me up scottie]

21. .

[Motown_Johnny]

26. +1

[beam me up scottie]

41. We called it!

Gush gush gush, fawn fawn fawn, kiss kiss kiss

[Joe Shlabotnik]

64. Wat!, No 'weepy' yet!?1! n/t

[restorefreedom]

30. ! lol nt

[firebrand80]

34. Nice

[Duckhunter935]

66. yep

Going just as we thought

[hrmjustin]

22. She is very gracious.

[Duckhunter935]

28. why not

all fluff questions

[hrmjustin]

37. Bitter?

[Duckhunter935]

74. nope just pointing

Out the obvious

[Duckhunter935]

23. of course he had to get socialist in

he describes himself a self described "DEMOCRATIC" socialist.

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. Wow, Chris. Really?

[azmom]

27. Fuck CNN. Turning this shit off.

[ucrdem]

35. Don't go, here come the sticky questions

[trueblue2007]

111. turning off the DEM townhall ?? Don't democrats want to listen to ALL our candidates???

Geesh could you be anymore
oh nevermind.

[Grassy Knoll]

29. A Little Too Obvious Whom CNN Likes...

Kiss, Kiss.

[Punkingal]

31. Love how Cuomo called Bernie a socialist as opposed to democratic socialist.

[aikoaiko]

32. Boom -- "We think you're dishonest."

[KittyWampus]

50. boom? He made an ass of himself. typical Sanders supporter though

[aikoaiko]

57. truth to power.

[ucrdem]

59. She was ready for it.

And she's off to the races . . .

[OrwellwasRight]

33. Did she just laugh at that guy for supporting Sanders?

I don't think I understood that laugh-"let me help you up"-laugh segment she just did.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

51. It's like the SNL laugh!

[OrwellwasRight]

68. I'm trying to be fair, but I don't get what she is doing.

Like here, by minimizing the economic inequality issues, she isn't doing herself any favors.

[Duckhunter935]

79. she screamed at him

[Motown_Johnny]

36. Young people think you are dishonest.

But not EVERYBODY thinks I am dishonest!

[elias49]

44. That was a stinger!

[OrwellwasRight]

56. Her answer to you're dishonest is

it's hard, don't give up, I'm a proven fighter?

What?

[unc70]

38. Cuomo is really acting biased

He just did everything he could to set her up as the heir to Obama.

[one_voice]

39. She looks nice..

red looks good on her.

[Duckhunter935]

90. that should off limits

Could be viewed as sexist

[one_voice]

109. Whatever. I comment on Martin's appearance..

all the time. He's hot. Also my candidate of choice. Take noise someplace else.

[Renew Deal]

40. Another fluff question from "young Sanders supporter that thinks she's dishonest" about enthusiasm

[nolabear]

48. Seriously? "People think you're dishonest" is softball?

Jesus.

[Renew Deal]

69. The question was really about enthusiasm

Not really about any issues.

[nolabear]

42. Well that wan't exactly a softball question, was it?

[Gregorian]

43. Is this a talk show or is she going to talk about something substantial?

[restorefreedom]

46. cenk nails it on twitter!

Cenk Uygur ‏@cenkuygur
After challenging @SenSanders on every question, Cuomo starts with 2 softballs to Clinton about how much Obama likes her. #DemTownHall

[Duckhunter935]

95. Indeed he does

[Renew Deal]

47. I've been fighting for change and progress since I was your age

[beerandjesus]

75. I've been fighting for LGBT rights since... Hang on, what's the date?

[restorefreedom]

137. lol and sad at the same time. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

49. I'm the victim!

[Punkingal]

53. She's yelling....LOL

[cherokeeprogressive]

67. And waving her arms frantically. What's with the tomahawk chops?

[LettuceSea]

89. She polling poorly in the FL panhandle

[OrwellwasRight]

203. Took me a minute to get that one!

[JonLeibowitz]

208. I'm still trying to get it...

[OrwellwasRight]

237. It means she is trying to get the Florida State vote.

[JonLeibowitz]

276. Ah, thanks!

[OrwellwasRight]

281. I'm sorry the MSNBC woman just called Sanders a revolutionary.

In American politics, that is a slur. Not cool.

[JonLeibowitz]

284. That's not cool at all. But I think you responded to the wrong person. n/t

[OrwellwasRight]

290. My bad.

Was trying to respond to OP.

[senz]

54. She keeps talking out how she's been pummeled, pounded, and beat up.

[hrmjustin]

55. "They throw all this stuff at me and I'm still standing,"

[Duckhunter935]

60. quit yelling at the poor guy

[rufus dog]

85. Lol

I was afraid the kid would soil himself. Probably nervous just asking the question.

[Renew Deal]

61. Another question from a Sanders supporter about Bidens comments

"I have a 40 year record of going after inequality."

[elias49]

62. Heh. Hope you reconsider. Wink.

That was tacky.

[zazen]

63. sorry but that first question was planted--it's obvious n/t

[ucrdem]

76. I think she just answered it her way.

Could have been anything.

[zazen]

78. she tackled income inequality by cutting welfare!???? OMG n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

65. GOING AFTER HOMOPHOBIC INEQUALITY FOR 40 YEARS ?!?!??!

At least we now know why young people think she is dishonest.

[DaGimpster]

71. WOW. eom

[TCJ70]

80. Yeah...

...way to follow it up with more of the same...

[BigBearJohn]

70. I'll be right back. Have to go get a box of kleenex.... crying so much for Hillary

[nolabear]

73. It's so nice to hear her talking about what she's done, not just ideas but the red to do it.

[pangaia]

77. Fuck Chris Cuomo.

He certainly fell miles from the tree..

[marlakay]

81. Wow this is so obvious

she asked for this and is fighting to leave a better impression than the last debate.

[senz]

82. Pummeled and treated unequally?

Victim card?

[ViseGrip]

83. Hillary's yelling makes her sound and look mean. Men do it well, but women need to watch this.

Makes for many ugly pics.

[Agschmid]

145. ... Oh boy.

Just FYI women you are not allowed to be angry, "it makes you ugly"

WTF, DU?

[a la izquierda]

313. Results

I was #4, FWIW. Total bullshit.

[A Little Weird]

304. Do you know how sexist that sounds?

Yelling makes everyone sound and look mean. Everyone gets angry or frustrated and yells from time to time. I understand the impulse and give in to it from time to time myself. To say that she shouldn't yell because she is a woman is just flat out sexist.

[one_voice]

308. .

[Agschmid]

314. Yup. The "New" DU.

[one_voice]

315. It was mean spirited all around

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511066903

[ucrdem]

84. She learned the lesson of 2000 and is not forgetting Bill

[Renew Deal]

86. Hillary just tied progress in the 90's to herself

Got to get the transcript on that, but she made it sound like the 90's results were somehow hers.

[elleng]

94. Exactly!

She did that!

[OrwellwasRight]

126. And that the focus was inequality.

It actually wasn't. The 90s was the last hurrah of the rising tide lifting all boats -- and much of it was created by sending wives to work and the first efforts to expand credit (that eventually got out of control in the 2000s).

So was some poverty alleviated in the 90s? Yes. Absolutely.

Did she (and he husband) has specific income inequality policies? No. Absolutely not. TANF was not an equality program. Neither was cutting the tax rate on capital gains. Both were actually inequality programs.

[elleng]

87. 'HA, not talk, action,'

a la O'Malley, while promoting her HUSBAND's administration, 'never had it so good.' WTH?!

[Motown_Johnny]

88. The one questioner who Gushes over a candidate is for Hillary.

What were the odds?

[Punkingal]

91. OMG...Clinton worship from this old guy questioning her now.

[Renew Deal]

101. It was nice

He watched all 11 hours and wanted to punch Gowdy. I bet there are a lot of people like that.

[nc4bo]

119. I need a cigarette after that! nt

[HerbChestnut]

92. Questioner must not have been paying attention earlier

When Bernie went on a 5 minute foreign policy screed.

[Renew Deal]

96. Everybody gets asked questions.

[LittleBlue]

97. Thought these were supposed to be undecideds?

Could this be more blatant?

[Grassy Knoll]

98. Fox News is Under Suicide Watch.....

BEN GAHAHAHA ZEEE!!!!

[firebrand80]

99. Dick Goodson? Not even a real name

[Motown_Johnny]

102. He used his porn name.

[firebrand80]

105. LOL

[JonLeibowitz]

190. DUzy!!!

[Renew Deal]

107. Looks like a real person

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/iowa-view/2015/02/09/past-water-dispute-shows-opportunity-fix-nitrate-problem/23104915/

[firebrand80]

121. Well, I'll be damn nt

[ecstatic]

129. lol. nt

[OrwellwasRight]

201. Didn't he used to produce gameshows?

http://gameshows.wikia.com/wiki/Goodson-Todman_Productions

[BigBearJohn]

100. Jesus Christ... she is so damn intimidating. Feel sorry for the kids asking the questions.

[nolabear]

108. Good God. I see her as smart, on point, fact based and experienced.

Those kids are getting answers.

[senz]

112. Seems rather up. Energetic. Quick & speedy.

[LuvLoogie]

115. The Revolution has unresolved Mother issues...

[senz]

151. A Hill supporter tried that one on me

so I let them know I'm older than Hillary.

Hm, guess that makes me older than the hill(s).

[senz]

104. Hey! She's giving up war hawkery! Peace! Dove!

[Motown_Johnny]

106. Until the next question.

[ram2008]

110. 1-10 Hillary

What a longwinded response.

[Motown_Johnny]

114. Hoping people will forget the question by the time she is done.

[Gregorian]

113. What about the economy? She's rambling.

[Cheese Sandwich]

116. I can't focus on Hillary she always looks blurry. She gives me A.D.D.

[KittyWampus]

117. Hillary= zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[DaGimpster]

118. With all due respect...

... she is rambling.

[Motown_Johnny]

124. That was an "Angry Sarah Palin" impersonation.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

120. this place is totally fucked up

Never utter one word against bernie but go for it against Hillary. Both deserve respect.

[Motown_Johnny]

131. She keeps screaming and rambling!!

She was asked where she was as an interventionist on a scale from 1 to 10. What is the answer???

[Renew Deal]

122. Syria: We have to do it based on "our values, our interests, and out security."

[Punkingal]

123. She seems frantic....talking too fast and too much.

[nolabear]

125. Why didn't Bernie get these foreign policy questions?

I suppose they're playing to the candidates' perceived strengths but it's certainly important.

[nc4bo]

133. Very noticeably absent from O'Malley.

Didn't see Sanders.

How odd.

[HerbChestnut]

140. He talked at length about foreign policy during his time on stage.

[nolabear]

152. What's his stand?

[HerbChestnut]

159. There's plenty of videos with Bernie talking about foreign policy.

You'd be better off listening to those than asking me or anyone else on a message board.

[nolabear]

253. You just told me you had listened to him. I figured you'd remember what he said.

[HerbChestnut]

257. I know his positions, but you're still better hearing it from him.

That way nothing gets lost in translation.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

127. She just blamed Bush et all for her vote on Iraq!

[HerbChestnut]

128. And here's the reason she gets to go last

Has a chance to respond to criticisms of her made by the earlier candidates. How is that fair?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

138. sounds like she's been practicing

because she knew what the questions would be

[Renew Deal]

170. I think her answers were pre-planned

Probably regardless of the question. She had those first two answers ready to go.

[Funtatlaguy]

207. Funny you said this

Exactly what my household said.
This was a DWS production.
Well, there just happens to be my friend, Senator Harkin....imagine that.

[marlakay]

142. Well we knew this was a set up because she needed another chance

to fight for Iowa.

[Renew Deal]

146. Somebody has to go last

Others were complaining that Bernie got to go first because he'll get the most eyeballs.

[Agschmid]

155. Everyone complains about something...

Just the way it is.

[HerbChestnut]

165. Sure, but why does she get the opportunity...

To respond to other candidates when the others don't?

[Purveyor]

166. I'm pleased that Bernie went first. Nt

[Gregorian]

130. If she's antiwar, why is she going on and on about war?

[restorefreedom]

132. cenk nails it again

Clinton keeps saying she has a lot of experience in foreign policy,but if that experience led to the wrong decisions, then what good was it?"

[Motown_Johnny]

141. +1

[Duckhunter935]

156. love it

[LovingA2andMI]

134. Lord BeJezzus

She just said 9/11......

[Duckhunter935]

135. quit YELLING

[DefenseLawyer]

136. Looks like I picked a bad week to quit amphetamines. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

148. Any week is a bad week to quit amphetamines.

But this one may be worse than most.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

161. whoah, I'm with ya brother,

Tough week here too.

Why hasn't @ChrisCuomo demanded @HillaryClinton to answer questions directly like he did @BernieSanders? #IACaucus #DemTownHall

[nolabear]

143. I'm pretty disgusted at the "she's too loud, she's too mean, she's too ..." comments.

They have nothing to do with anything except snark.

[Motown_Johnny]

153. Not Presidential n/t

[all american girl]

167. Bernie does it, why is it OK for him?

(my y key likes to sticks....oops

[Motown_Johnny]

172. Not like that. She comes off as arrogant. n/t

[all american girl]

181. A woman talking loud is arrogant....thanks for that

[senz]

225. Ah yes, she is everywoman.

All of us rolled up into one.

[all american girl]

236. What does that even mean

[senz]

288. It means that when someone criticizes Hillary Clinton

they are not necessarily criticizing "all women."

[all american girl]

297. But it's always told to women and not all the time to women. I'm just tired of the same

stupid crap. Criticize her on her issues, why does it have to go to the same old sexists crap?

[senz]

307. I found her grating.

But I often do; she has an unpleasant voice, imo, almost no range. Compare her to Elizabeth Warren. Or Donna Brazil, who's talking now. I could listen to her all night.

I also think Bernie's voice could be better, although lately he's hoarse all the time.

[one_voice]

186. Jesus.

[nolabear]

217. Oh my God. Arrogant? She comes across as strong. What should she do, knit while talking?

[Purveyor]

185. It's the sound of her voice, something she can't help.

It's best if she tries not to be loud.

[one_voice]

270. .

[zazen]

188. fair enough--she has every right to be loud and passionate. n/t

[DaGimpster]

144. It took 20 minutes.

but she managed to get 9/11 in there.

[HerbChestnut]

149. LOL

Yup, noticed that too.

[Motown_Johnny]

162. She was asked about her interventionism on a scale from 1-10

So I guess the number between 9 and 11 came to mind.

[LovingA2andMI]

147. Does The Secretary of State....

Advance "Internet Freedom"?? WTH Hillary?

[Renew Deal]

154. Probably

There are a lot of closed countries out there like China

[LovingA2andMI]

175. But....The Secretary of State...

Doesn't advance INTERNET FREEDOM and she knows that...so why say that untruthful thing....

[Renew Deal]

196. Here it is on the State Department website

http://www.state.gov/e/eb/cip/netfreedom/index.htm

Indeed, during his time in Congress, Secretary Kerry worked closely with then-Secretary Clinton to make certain that we could effectively promote long-standing values of openness and human rights in a networked world.

[LovingA2andMI]

224. BUT, the US Secretary of State...

Does not control or demand the FREEDOM of the INTERNET anywhere in America or overseas for that matter. Their job is foreign policy not Chief Technology International Officer of the Internet.

[Renew Deal]

150. Hillary proud of defending various freedoms including "internet freedom"

Pretty nice that she included that. Very important.

[zazen]

157. she's clearly been told to rev it up to seem younger & more passionate

If she's really naturally animated that's great. But if she's putting on yet another persona, well, I'm just tired . . . . .

[Broward]

168. Now, she's trying to talk like Bernie too.

[HerbChestnut]

171. I thought the same thing.

It's pretty obvious that's what she's trying to do. Enthusiasm has been lacking in her campaign after all.

[BigBearJohn]

158. She is SCOLDING the audience

[restorefreedom]

169. here ya go..an lol for ya

My volume is all the way down, lol

[restorefreedom]

[RoccoR5955]

179. Don't question the pre0-ordained queen

Just shut up and eat the damn cake!

[Gregorian]

163. Kaboom! Trump, you've been schlonged.

[DaGimpster]

174. Where is Chris Cuomo? He basically left the stage...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

177. That's why it is a set up

[RoccoR5955]

183. The little boy had to go to

the little boy's room.

[laruemtt]

176. WAY too much Red Bull!

[Matariki]

184. Maybe she was snorting lines off of O'Malley while they waited their turns

[senz]

200. ...

[JonLeibowitz]

215. . .

This thread is amazing!

[LovingA2andMI]

193. Hillary is going Zero to 100....

Did she have a energy drink before hitting the stage?

[cherokeeprogressive]

194. Vitamin B-12 intravenously methinks.

[Renew Deal]

180. When you are elected president, what will you say to republican voters.

"I want to be the president for everyone"

I think that's the only answer possible other than FEMA Camps. Wait, did I say that?

[TCJ70]

182. She's supposed to be undecided...

...shouldn't her question start with "If"?

[Renew Deal]

199. They've had other candidates supporters asks questions to each candidates.

[RoccoR5955]

195. Do you actually think that she will admit

that she is going to be President of the 1%, and queen of the rest of us?

[Renew Deal]

198. I don't think that's what she has in mind either way

[RoccoR5955]

211. Actions shall speak louder than words. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

187. Hillary hurt herself tonight.

You can't come out and yell at the audience and ramble off topic and help your attempt to become President.

[OrwellwasRight]

222. She seems to be trying to use the strategy of building a wall of anecdotes.

How many names can she name, stories can she tell.

I think it must be part of her "I have specifics, Bernie doesn't" approach.

It's coming off weird though, and not coming off well.

[Motown_Johnny]

228. Not a strong showing. I wonder if DWS will now schedule a debate for Friday.

[azmom]

296. LOL

[elias49]

189. My goodness, she's humorless. Gotta give her that!

[firebrand80]

191. Hillary plays the Harkin card

[senz]

192. She's too speedy. Love it.

[nc4bo]

202. Have any of the candidates answered any TPP questions?

[OrwellwasRight]

293. Nope.

Bernie brought it up though.

[Motown_Johnny]

204. Yes, Benghazi is Bull Shit.

Lets spend 10 minutes on it.

[Beaverhausen]

206. I'm guessing sound in that hall isn't loud

The house sound might be lowered so the TV feed doesn't feed back

I think that's why she and Bernie were being a bit yelly.

I went to A live taping of Bill Maher's show recently and the same thing happened. We in the audience could hardly hear them onstage.

[Renew Deal]

209. Benghazi continues for partisan political purposes

That's the truth

[all american girl]

210. Done with the sexist crap here....

Shes's loud
She's arrogant
She's rambling

Men can be loud...women they are shrill and screechy. Thanks for reminding me that our side is just as crappy as the republicans.

[TCJ70]

218. Same stuff's been said about Bernie...

...better just to ignore it and move on.

[all american girl]

269. No, because we are way better than that. Bernie supports love him doing that

but when she does, it's nothing but crap and that is unexceptionable.

[alcibiades_mystery]

220. Sad display tonight for sure

On this thread, that is.

[nolabear]

227. Horrifying, isn't it? And entirely a biased perspective.

[all american girl]

252. It's making me sad....talk about the issues,

not...ooooo she's loud....screw that. Women need to be louder and not told to be "lady like"

[nolabear]

260. Compare the two threads, Bernie vs Hillary and see the tenor of the comments.

It says a lot.

[LovingA2andMI]

212. We had Terrorist Attacks Many Times in Our Country...

Way to Scare The S**T Outta Folks, Hillary.

[JonLeibowitz]

216. She also warned us in 2008 about presidential assassinations wrt Obama

How kind-hearted.

[RoccoR5955]

213. Does Clinton think that the CONs are going to go away.

They are going to bring up Benghazi every chance they can.
The CONs are not going away, at least some of them will still be around.

[ram2008]

214. Lots of rambling and jumping from topic to topic

Very hard to keep up-- manic as someone else put it, by the time she's done answering I forget what the question was. She does look in command, but I'm not sure if that's what people are looking for.

[hrmjustin]

219. Very effective on Benghazi.

[Gregorian]

221. On the bright side. she'd talk Putin into submission.

[HerbChestnut]

223. Two 9/11 references so far...

[Renew Deal]

226. Private Email was a convencience that didn't work out

[RoccoR5955]

229. Nothing that Clinton EVER did was wrong

according to her. Not even campaigning for Goldwater, while Bernie was going out against discrimination.

[Duckhunter935]

230. she blew that one

Lol, I did nothing wrong and do not need to apologize. My judgement is great

[LittleBlue]

231. When she's challenged, it's like watching Bambi on ice

[Renew Deal]

232. Asking about Bernie's "look for America" ad

"She likes the ad."

"You campaign in poetry and govern in prose."

Respect Sanders, etc, but I am the best person to be president.

[restorefreedom]

233. tweet from cnn

yup, no bias there

Breaking News ‏@cnnbrk
.@HillaryClinton: "I want to be the president for everyone." Follow #DemTownHall

[Duckhunter935]

251. lol

So right: CNN

[nolabear]

234. Oh look. The Bernie ad. Where are those howling when hers was played now?

[Gregorian]

250. It seems pretty mean to play another candidate's ad, and ask an opinion.

[ecstatic]

256. Not mean. nt

[Duckhunter935]

259. I am glad they played half his ad

Shows the difference.

[nolabear]

266. It does.

[Motown_Johnny]

235. THEY ONLY PLAY 20% OF BERNIE'S AD!!!!

What The Fuck!!!

They played her entire ad.


I am calling Bull Shit!!!

[nolabear]

245. Well hers had actual content.

[Motown_Johnny]

261. Still favoritism. If she can't deal with an ad how will she deal with the Republicans?

[ucrdem]

238. Great answer on Sanders' ad -- "I love it"

[Gregorian]

239. She was the first to have emails investigated? That can't be true.

[Renew Deal]

240. Which one previous president has inspired you and why? Lincoln

[ram2008]

241. LOL, "I think that's great"

You could tell that's not what she was thinking behind the faux smile.

[Matariki]

242. Did that kid just say about *his* question "I can see why they gave you this question"?

[ram2008]

244. He did.

Oops

[Matariki]

254. I thought that's what I heard, but thought I must have imagined it.

wonder if that was clever subterfuge on his part

[TCJ70]

247. Yes, yes he did...

...do we know how these questions were chosen?

[Matariki]

263. And sheesh, her answer wasn't clearly scripted

[HerbChestnut]

255. Yup

Your ears did not deceive you.

[white_wolf]

258. I like to think he did that on purpose.

[nc4bo]

264. Whoopsie!! Curtain peekaboo right there. nt

[Duckhunter935]

267. yes, I think they were just outed

[Mike__M]

289. Damn

I'm not watching live...
wonder if it will be there if its replayed.

[Matariki]

309. It's all up on Youtube already

The whole thing might be up, but so far I found it broken into sections

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=CNN+Democratic+Presidential+Town+Hall

[Bread and Circus]

275. Are the questions fed to the participants? His comment suggests they are. Strange.

[Matariki]

285. I would love to get a clip of that.

wonder if the townhall will be available on youtube...

[joshcryer]

291. They screen the questions.

The questions are real by the person asking but they were submitted hours earlier and chosen after the fact. It's not like they call on random people.

[Bread and Circus]

299. Thanks. So it is anbit stage managed. Is anything real anymore?

[Autumn]

301. "I can see why they gave you this question" Cats out of the bag

[RoccoR5955]

243. It figures

That Clinton would be inspired by a REPUBLICAN!!!!!!
I guess FDR who was a REAL Democrat was chopped liver according to her!

[ecstatic]

246. lmao @ "Which president has inspired you the most?"

Sorry President Obama, sorry Bill... Abraham Lincoln.

Awkward!

[Motown_Johnny]

273. It was just about her only lighter moment. I kinda liked it.

[OrwellwasRight]

248. She got a softball commercial question.

vis a vis Bernie. Jus' sayin'

[senz]

249. I knew Abe Lincoln. You ain't no Abe Lincoln.

He said government of, by and for the people, not government of by and for the Big Banks.

[RoccoR5955]

265. Inspired by a REPUBLICAN?!?!?!

What was FDR, chopped liver?

[OrwellwasRight]

294. To someone who campaigned for Goldwater?

Yes, chopped liver.

[DaGimpster]

262. When did HRC go on-air?

Perhaps its the content, but this feels longer. I wish I had noted the time for each candidate.

[ucrdem]

268. O'Malley didn't get a commercial break, so he probably had a short segment.

[Renew Deal]

271. Approx 10:25

[elleng]

286. 45 minutes for Bernie.. then 35 minutes for Martin..

FUCKERS!

[nolabear]

272. Once again I'll say this. All three are head and shoulders above the GOP. Good meeting.

[LovingA2andMI]

274. Hillary in Reverse...

From Zero to 100 and 100 to Zero....

Ratings:
Sanders 90
O Malley 80 + 5 points for almost taking off his shirt
Clinton - 65

[nolabear]

279. My mileage varies considerably. All were quite good. Hillary is the best.

[hrmjustin]

277. Well done Hillary!

[nolabear]

282. Yes! She makes me feel better and better.

[stopbush]

278. Damn, she's good.

[BigBearJohn]

280. The Republicans hated her for 23 years. They will hate her 3x as much if elected President.

[nolabear]

283. They might hate her but they'd hamstring Bernie. He'd get nothing done.

[Renew Deal]

287. Hillary did a good job

I feel like she's going for a different voter than Bernie

[BigBearJohn]

292. Her favorite President was a Republican.

Nice

[Renew Deal]

295. You have a problem with Lincoln?

He's also generally the most popular American president.

[Bobbie Jo]

298. Whooooosh

[ecstatic]

302. Seriously? nt

[ProudToBeLiberal]

300. Wow, Hillary did very well. Her performance here was better than the first debate. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

303. You can tell she did well by the contingent claiming a fix

If you're disputing the polls or the moderators, you're losing.

Hillary people have been guilty of the first over the last few weeks to be sure. But the performance tonight by *some* Sanders people has been beyond bizarre.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

306. Yep, this is how I know she did well. People know she did well, so they are making excuses. nt

[Matariki]

305. Last question to Clinton

The kid asking the question says "I can see why *they* gave you this question"

[senz]

310. ^^ THIS ^^

Thank you. I hope this gets circulated widely. It's very telling.

[Matariki]

311. yeah, very interesting

312. There's another thread on it.
