2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Admitted Just NOW That She Watched Bernie's Segment... Town Hall SET UP! [View all]Bubzer
(4,211 posts)124. What it is, is yet another demonstration of hillary's willingness to ignore rules for personal gain.
If she's willing to do it at this level, how can we reasonably expect anything less should she get to the oval office?
We need less of this type of behavior, not more.

OP
When did these town halls become game shows with the participants waiting in soundproof booths?

So, my question is - does he agree to this and if so, WHY? or if it 's not his choice

No big deal, Bernie doesn't need the same advantages as Hillary.... he's got authenticity on his side.

I think you summed it up perfectly. Bernie is the real deal.... some people's inability to see thru Hillary's "schtick" just amazes me.

Does a 'win' mean you go first, or does it mean you get to pick whether you go first or second?

Good question- a friend of mine pointed out viewership can drop off after 10 PM, so I think first is

Listen carefully: That's not the same as the host networks allowing her to listen in. nt

I guess that this explains why this lady NEVER goes first in these debates!

That was implied, but I don't think it was clear that it was his *choice* to go first!

If she's allowed to listen in, that's a distinct advantage and why she chooses to be last.

Are you freaking kidding? Bernie doesn't make the rules. He follows them. Unlike HRC.

Whether that is or is not the case, the fact is Bernie did not say anything that he hasn't said

Oh geez. Some people can't stay up past 10PM so it's not 100% advantage to go second! nt

Not at all... Hillary was at her worst tonight. No doubt lost a lot of votes.

Don't beat up on hillary, She's trying to save the democratic party from a socialist insurgency.
