Fox News Town Hall Thread

[MSMITH33156]

Bernie Sanders up first. Nothing new so far.

[Her Sister]

1. audience is interesting.

[MSMITH33156]

2. He is very

Rubioish in his robotic responses.

He was asked a question on debt - said Healthcare is a right.

Asked again - talked about free college, and the Wall Street bailout.

Never answered the actual question. It's becoming annoying now.

[FloridaBlues]

3. He's Back!! One note Bern do you think he will tell him to stand

Fox audience this could get nasty for her wish she didn't agree to attend although I know she will hold her own

[MSMITH33156]

4. Yes

There are asking him questions off right wing talking points. It's going to be brutal on Hillary.

[MSMITH33156]

5. His answer on Healthcare

is embarrassing. A doctor asked for specifics on how exactly you would transition from the current system to his system.

He basically said, "don't worry about it." Then she reiterated that she doesn't see how you can get from where we are to where he wants to go. And he reiterated again that his plan would be better. But he never answered how.

[Thinkingabout]

7. He says medicare for all, he doesn't know about medicare, he has a good

Policy provided by Congress. If he was aware of issues about Medicare he would not ask this be the medical care in the US. It is not close to the systems enjoyed in other countries he continues to refer.

[riversedge]

10. Well, first he dissed Hillary for saying SHIP and other programs would be

demolished. crowd clapped. But I waited and he did not provide any information regarding a 'transistion"

[giftedgirl77]

38. Bc he has no answers....

I doubt he has a clue about how to implement any of his proposals.

[Her Sister]

6. wondering if he is going to mention the revloution

[Thinkingabout]

8. Well, he doesn't want the VP slot.

[riversedge]

9. Bret asked him what he meant by blacks and the ghetto. I did

not hear anything different from last night.

[FloridaBlues]

11. She's on here we go

[riversedge]

12. asked Hillary about Bloomberg deciding not to run. Hillary just said she had worked with

him previously and looked forward to working with him again

[FloridaBlues]

13. No soft ball questions for her

[Her Sister]

14. a lot tougher questions form the let go

yep!!!!

[Stand and Fight]

15. She needs to reject the premise of the question about emails being classified very directly.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!
She needs to say that anything that now marked classified was not at the time. Saying that things were classified at the time they were sent or received is a lie.

The longer answer she gets, the more people get confused and the smear machine has more material to splice and put into a video defaming her or impugning her integrity.

[MSMITH33156]

19. I would just use an analogy

Classification is confusing. She should simply say this:

Imagine if the speed limit on a highway was 60 MPH 5 years ago, and 5 years ago you drove 60 MPH on that highway. Then 5 years later, they reduced the speed limit to 50 MPH. Would it make sense for you to get a ticket for driving 60 MPH on a highway that was 60 MPH at the time just because it has since been reduced to 50 MPH? Of course not.

[Stand and Fight]

24. That is a FIRST RATE analogy! Thank you!

I'm going to use that next time I'm talking about this issue. You're great!

[Her Sister]

16. Like her first answer

to the first audience member question

[Stand and Fight]

18. It was very good. She's pivoting for the general election very smartly.

[Stand and Fight]

17. I'm happy that they didn't stack the audience with right-wing shills.

It's refreshing that the audience is receptive to the Secretary's message. No yelling. No screaming. No booing.

[Stand and Fight]

20. Question on why she supported the crime bill and if she would do so today.

Secretary Clinton is giving a thorough answer as to why she voted for it then - there was some positive things in it and going into detail about the mistakes (like high rates of incarceration).

[Stand and Fight]

21. "We have to rip away the school to prison pipeline and replac

- Senator Clinton on the 1994 Crime Bill's Mistakes and how to fix them...

[Stand and Fight]

22. Some rude jerk screamed from the audience asking what her college payment plans are...

I really can't stand the rude.

Hannibal Lecter called them, "Free range rude." That's who he preferred to eat. I don't aspire to eat anyone. I wouldn't mind however stapling their mouths closed for a time. lol

[book_worm]

25. I agree-I would hate rudeness on both sides

[misterhighwasted]

28. I agree. Enough is enough

Nothing positive gets done when "rude" is the most some have to offer.

[Her Sister]

33. but ended up being a great moment for her!

she was able to explain her ideas for education. Well done!!

[misterhighwasted]

34. Always impressed with her depth of knowledge.

[Stand and Fight]

37. She handled it very well.

She didn't respond with a snap or growl.
She displayed not annoyance or frown.
She didn't wag a finger on the prowl.
She displayed class in Fox News town.

[sheshe2]

43. She nailed it!

She was animated when it was asked. Said something to like 'I am glad you asked that question'!

[riversedge]

39. after the show--Bret said it was a Sanders supporter (discussion with Greta for short peroid after

the Town Hall).

[Stand and Fight]

42. Somehow I am not surprised. n/t

[EileenFB]

26. Thanks for this thread and updates

Cable is out and internet is shaky at best.

Appreciate this greatly.

[misterhighwasted]

27. Well very nice job Hillary. Good audience & her honesty came through clearly.

Hillary proved her Presidential professionalism & smarts as to how a successful governance works.

[FloridaBlues]

31. Nice performance very thoughtful and got some zingers to republic party

[Her Sister]

29. she did great!

She was so perfect! beautiful, smart, funny, serious, great answers, great energy!!

[Stand and Fight]

30. Secretary Clinton talking about encouraging her supporters...

Secretary Clinton talking about encouraging her supporters to vote for Obama in 2008 despite the deep feelings of her supporters. Compared the difference between the Republicans "debate" and the Democratic debate. Talking about how she thinks her supporters and Senator Sanders' supporters will unite to ensure a Republican doesn't win the White House.

All in response to a question about a middle schooler about the difference between Democrats and Republicans this election cycle.

[Stand and Fight]

32. All done. Fox News was surprisingly very -- dare I say -- fair and balanced in their questions.

Secretary Clinton did great and provided detailed and no-nonsense answers. Senator Sanders stayed on message. Both candidates represented the left very well.

[Her Sister]

36. you are actually right!!

They did us proud!

[EileenFB]

40. I'm thinking Fox did this on purpose

They want to be included with other networks in the primary and what better way than to be respectful to the democratic candidates. If it would have been how they usually are with dems, they would have been shut out of anything in the primaries.

[Stand and Fight]

41. If only they would continue this behavior going forward.

I suppose I'm asking for too much!

[mcar]

44. Thanks for this report

Youngest is home on spring break so we were catching up with "our baby." FOX couldn't compete with that.

[SharonClark]

45. She did great!

So proud of her.
