I think the Townhall format agrees with Clinton

I'm currently watching the CNN townhall. I have to admit even though I am a Sanders supporter the townhall format agrees with Clinton. It is so much more calm then the standard debate, I feel like I can actually hear her actual thoughts in this format.

2. It is a better format in general. I like it.

I hate the 30 second buzzer and moderator interruptions in a debate.

I like the that the public asks questions. I think they're much more clearer because they're more relaxed. They're not trying to beat a buzzer or score points, instead it's their time to earn votes.

In debates they spend far too much time on defense, imo. it seems they never really get to fully answer a question.

4. The questions she's being asked are a lot tougher than Bernie's questions.

Deck is stacked against her. And yet she's doing well.
