I have to give a bit of a pat on the back to MSNBC tonight for two good town halls they did

[napi21]

and are just completing now. First was with Bernie, the second with Hillary. The moderator in BOTH cases took off all the gloves when asking questions. The on that surprised me the most was Chris Matthews with Hillary. He asked her if she was a hawk? Then he delved into why SHE voted for the Iraq, and did she really believe h had nuclear weapons? She said she did, and Chris wouldn't let it go. He asked who told you, what proof was there? It went on for quite a while, even getting into why she supported regime change,, why we think it's OK to just go overthrow other countries leaders? For sure he put her through a grilling!

1. Why is Bernie always first?

I know it is not a big deal but would it be to much to ask for them to rotate.

2. Sanders was pretaped because they showed excerpts from it earlier. I don't know about Clinton.

3. I don't know. I thought of that too, weird.

They weren't as tough on Bernie (at least I didn't think so) but it wasn't a walk in the park either. He did a great job at answering all the questions thrown at him, as usual.

4. Watched both.

Surprised that Todd didn't trigger my reflux like he usually does. Sanders did well.

Matthews' questions were fine, but would have preferred that he let her complete her answers. His trademark rudeness tends to be contemptuous at times, and today was no exception. Clinton did well in spite of him.

5. Didn't Chris surprose you with how much he pushed her on the "hawk" thinking?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I've heard ANYONE push her that hard on anything let alone war.

7. That was over pretty quick

And then he was commenting on how she was ready to be commander-in-chief. Sheesh.
