Is The Upcoming Dem Town Hall On CNN A Sanctioned And Scheduled Event By DWS Or....

[global1]

did this just come about recently? Did DWS approve of this?

Are the CNN moderators going to ask the questions or are there Iowans that will be present in an audience asking the questions?

1. Just came up

set up by Iowa democrats but guy running them is Hillary supporter. I have heard in 2008 something like this happened and she got the questions in advance.

It will be questions asked by voters but they get to pick who comes and who asks the questions. so almost a set up against Bernie and O'Malley.

2. It's a 'Townhall" forum, not a debate, so it doesn't violate the DNC 'ban' on more debates.

as I understand it, they will have each candidate (one at a time) come before the audience, then questions
will be asked of the candidate, either by mods, or the audience, or some such.

I'm suspicious of the timing and the 'out of the blue' nature of this event, which is purportedly being hosted
by a well-known Hillary Team-player, whose name I don't recall, but there was anther OP about it.
