supporters. The video clearly shows that most of the audience was not in Sanders gear. That's the only fact I will acknowledge. There may have been a few in Sanders gear but they were not noticeable

30. I don't know if or who staged it.

But according to PennLive.com most of the audience was in Sanders gear. If it was first come, first admitted then it would be easy to pack the audience.

I'm on my cell phone or I would provide the link.

As for packing the audience?

I don't know about you but I don't go to town halls unless I'm a supporter or curious about the candidate or the candidate represents me. .

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

How does this strategy help? floppyboo Apr 2019 #16

Really? Is this one debate going to make Fox credible? floppyboo Apr 2019 #17

With Sanders supporters, apparently so. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #24

It's pretty well-known what Sanders has to say about Democrats. R B Garr Apr 2019 #19

"It's pretty well known what Sanders has said about Corporate Dems." bahrbearian Apr 2019 #27

LOL corporate Dems, yet another smear along R B Garr Apr 2019 #37

He does it all the time. Instant Liberal Apr 2019 #22

There never would have been an Iraq war except for R B Garr Apr 2019 #38

So no Democrats voted for IWR, interesting it was all the Repugs fault? bahrbearian Apr 2019 #39

LMAO, yes, the Iraq war was started by a Republican! R B Garr Apr 2019 #40

But it did happen and these Dems voted for it... bahrbearian Apr 2019 #41

A boost in Fox ratings to see Bernie? bernie59 Apr 2019 #67

Frankly, I think some candidates don't go on Fox due to fear bernie59 Apr 2019 #44

if they are invited, every dem nominee should go on fox AlexSFCA Apr 2019 #52

Pardon the attitude but screw Fox. We shouldn't t be helping their rating and they will cherry pick CentralMass Apr 2019 #59

Did you watch the videos? rgbecker Apr 2019 #63

No. However to prove a point I just clicked on Fox News for the first time in 7 or 8 year. CentralMass Apr 2019 #64

Yep, Bernie held his ground. He's a natural. bernie59 Apr 2019 #68

I do think Elizabeth and Mayor Pete would do VERY well going on Faux News... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #69

Yes they would do well. Both are very focused on their message and are not easily distracted. Autumn Apr 2019 #74
