Pardon my ignorance on this, but the Iowa 'town hall' debate -

[elias49]

was this in the debate schedule all along, or is this rump-sprung from DWS because Clinton's in trouble?

[NorthCarolina]

1. I believe it was recently added to the schedule.

eom

[highprincipleswork]

2. This has magically sprung up because she is in trouble. Outrageous.

[elias49]

4. Oh how I want this to backfire!

What bullshit.

[emulatorloo]

20. So? Bernie will kick ass. Nothing 'outrageous' about that.

[Voice for Peace]

3. Door #2 is the correct answer

[Kalidurga]

5. Remember when Coke blinked and changed their formula?

I think the same thing is going to happen here.

[razorman]

7. Coke had to change the formula if they wanted to survive.

'New Coke' was nasty.

[Kalidurga]

11. Um that was the new formula

Old Coke wasn't in trouble in the slightest. It was an unforced error.

[razorman]

13. I see. I thought you meant they "blinked" afer the huge public outcry

that rejected 'New Coke'.

[Bjorn Against]

21. Although in order to drink Old Coke these days you have to get it imported

Classic Coke is not actually the classic formula, before the switch to New Coke the old formula was made with real sugar, they switched to High Fructose Corn Syrup at the same time they introduced New Coke. When people complained about the taste of New Coke the company marketed Classic Coke as a return of the old product, but we never saw real sugar in their soda after that.

You can still get the actual classic Coke product with real sugar imported from Mexico and there is a difference in taste.

[Paulie]

22. New Coke still lives

It's the base flavor of Diet Coke, which pretty much replaced Tab (which used sodium saccharin)

[Juicy_Bellows]

29. You can still buy Tab - it's readily available.

Weird, but true. I believe it still contains saccharin!

[Metric System]

6. It's not a debate. But, hey, nobody is forcing Sanders to attend.

[morningfog]

12. Is it DNC sanctioned?

[emulatorloo]

23. Who cares? The more exposure Bernie gets, the better.

[FloridaBlues]

27. A town hall is not a debate and town halls don't have to sanctioned by DNC

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Last minute DWS/DNC Hail Mary, Save the Queen Town Hall because HRH is 8 points behind in Iowa.

It's a set-up on Bernie. The person who organized the whole thing is a huge Hillary supporter. She'll have the audience stacked with BROCK OPERATIVES to go after Bernie.

Just more corruption and filth from HRH and DWS.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[onecaliberal]

9. The moderator is in the bag for Clinton, a former employee or something like that.

[firebrand80]

10. I thought Bernie wanted more debates? nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I wish I was in as much "trouble" as Hillary

CLINTON MAINTAINS LEAD, NEW LORAS COLLEGE POLL FINDS
1/22/2016

With the 2016 Iowa precinct caucuses only ten days away, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton maintains a strong lead over her nearest rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, according to the newest Loras College Poll. The statewide poll of 500 likely voters in the Democratic caucus was conducted Jan. 13-18.

The newest Loras College Poll finds Clinton leading in terms of which candidate people intend to vote for, which candidate people expect will actually win the precinct caucuses, as well as who they expect will be the eventual nominee. While Sanders has made small gains since the last Loras College Poll released in December, he remains well behind Clinton in this poll.

“These last days are crunch time for the campaigns,” said Christopher Budzisz, Ph.D, associate professor of politics and director of the Loras College Poll. “The ground games and turnout efforts of the Democratic candidates are in high gear, and with Iowa’s election-day registration rules, it will be a fascinating 10 days. In little more than a week the voters of Iowa will have their say in this remarkable and memorable election year.”

15. Self-destructive are you

or just a run-of-the-mill masochist?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Yes... I couldn't stand being thirty one points ahead of my competitor.

My heart would be breaking in sorrow for him or her.

[elias49]

17. What? Hill has a heart?

I call bullshit.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. As is your right, sir or madame.

Perhaps when she is our president her good works will win you over.



I can hope.



Respectfully,
DSB

[bvf]

24. Give credit where credit is due.

Too much practice to still be considered "run-of-the-mill."

[KingFlorez]

18. Seems good to me

It's always good to hear from the candidates.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. It isn't really a debate.

They did a different town hall earlier.


Yes, this is DWS and Clinton Inc. trying to get Hillary out front to try and knock Bernie one last time.


Don't worry about it. Hillary will go negative and hurt herself yet again.

[liberal N proud]

26. Complain there aren't enough debates, then turn the tables and complain about too many!

[tazkcmo]

28. Limit the debates.

6 is enough. We consulted many people and all agreed, 6. We don't need more. We're losing, we need more debates.

[gwheezie]

30. Are there too many or not enough

I'm confused what Bernie wants.
