Really? Not fixed?

Seems legit.

2. So Are You Saying That....

the person that composed the question may not actually be selected to ask their own question? Are you saying that they give what they consider a good question to someone they select?

3. It's much simpler than that.

When you go in as an audience member, you get a card to write down your name along with 5-6 questions that you may want to ask. There's s very good chance that other people in the audience are asking the same questions. The show managers pick the most popular ones, then hand the cards back to the people they've selected to ask them. The audience members get their own cards back if they've been selected. When they're up, the show managers give them a cue to ask the question. Simple.

Notice in the OP, there's no *gasp* or reaction from the audience when Clinton makes her comment. There's no fucking conspiracy here. The audience knows what's going on.

4. So according to you someone, we don't know who, gets to pick the questions.

OK, thanks for telling us that the questions are indeed being hand picked. Explains why Bernie had more hardball questions than softball and Hillary had more softball questions than hardball.

Of course the popularity of the questions depends on who is doing the selections. Seems that random would be a much fairer selection process by removing the "selection" part from the equation.

5. There's no secret about how these forums work.

As anyone who's actually been to one can tell you.

Just because your boy didn't do very well doesn't mean there's some nefarious RW conspiracy going on. It just means your boy didn't do so well.

6. My boy? Who is this boy that I would have as my own?

The only thing I noted in my post was the difference in the questions for the two main contenders.

If we are allowed to have a boy, which one is yours?

7. Feining impartiality is dishonest ... and just about what I would expect.

"Candidates like Hillary are why I left the Democratic party 20 years ago. I came back this year so I could vote for Bernie..."

8. You are saying Bernie is a boy? That was my confusion, to me Bernie is a candidate

running for the Democratic nomination much like Hillary is a candidate running for the Democratic nomination.

I would never stoop to calling Hillary "your girl" just because I don't support her. You on the other hand don't seem to mind in the least being disrespectful. I'm surprised that someone calling themselves a Democrat would be dis... No I'm not.

Rattle on if you want but I'm done with you.

9. So someone called me a dumb..... fine.

I am not the kid in the video. I did not prompt him to ask this question. I did not hear any other candidate asked such a soft ball question. And to top it off, the questioner decided to couch his "approved" question with this clear statement.

I report, you decide, or decide to ignore. I expect to be confronted for my beliefs. What I don't expect is this video to be seen for any more than it is. Like the kid said.

"I can see why they gave you (Mrs. Clinton) this question".
