Town Hall Thread

[MrChuck]

Just used up my preview of CNNgo. Thanks CNN.

Bernie was on fire, not giving the "yes or no" answer on the big government question and sticking to his message.

I'll try to stay in the thread if it survives. I'll have to wait and see the other candidates and the rest of Bernie later.

2. The CNN liveblog is here.

CNN's bias is showing. They keep focusing on Bernie's speaking volume as if they're hoping for a dean scream moment.

Also, they seem elated that they got a sound bite of bernie saying, "We will raise taxes, yes we will."

ugh...

[winter is coming]

8. That sound bite will be played endlessly from now 'til November. n/t

10. And what we the supporters need to repeat is this...

"If raising my taxes a little bit earns me THAT MUCH, then yes PLEASE raise my taxes!"

3. Awesome tweet from the town hall.

During commercial break, audience member just shouted "feel the Bern" to scattered applause #DemTownHall

4. Love it.

His honesty will sell his ideas. Even the ones on tax increases. If he's not bought, he has no ulterior motive and voters will trust him. Polling shows that to be true. And that's why Clinton is having a difficult time attacking him.

7. Is Chris C. dense?

He seems not to be able follow basic statements.

[MrChuck]

9. I thought that a number of times. He would pose a question and

Bernie would answer but then he would ask it again, like when he asked about the way to pay for his plans.

11. because they are waiting for certain sound-bytes for

msm and clinton/corporate propaganda machine.

[hopemountain]

12. yes, cnn was waiting for the "raise taxes"

soundbyte.
