Why is Hillary's 2008 campaign chair directing this town hall?

Set-up? IF it walks like a duck..........

No possible conflict of interest here. I hope Sanders reams them for this during the event.



History:
Let's understand The CLintons and the DLC and who these people are and what they value.

The Rightwing Koch Brothers Fund the DLC

... the Koch brothers have also been funding the Democratic Leadership Council. Welcome fellow Democrat! ..

On a side note, trust me when I say you do not want George Stephanopoulos moderating a debate. He moderated one between Hillary and Obama in 2008 and he was the absolute worst moderator I have ever seen in a debate. Nearly every question to Obama was based on a right-wing smear such as Reverend Wright while Hillary got all softballs.

It was a major shit storm on DU at the time, all of Obama's supporters were pissed.

is a very good friend and colleague of Hillary Clinton. She's also the chair of the Iowa Democratic Party.

That's how she's in a position to head up this "Town Hall."

I'm outraged that it was foisted on us, on the Iowa electorate--simply because Hillary is behind and her camp decided that they needed to do something. Well, where were the debates when MOM and Sanders needed them?

The deck is so stacked for her. I don't think she'll end up winning, but you can bet she's got plans for this Town Hall. They didn't organize this so Hillary could give a stump speech. I think they're planning on trying to lob some grenades at Bernie.

And yes, this Town Hall is moderated by Chris Cuomo, but all the questioners are Iowa voters. Who attends the debate (who gets in the audience) is determined by who responds to the Iowa Democratic Party email. If you respond, your name is put into consideration and they'll draw names. I sent the email back. I assume that they will chose questioners from the pool of audience attendees.

If they want to plant questions, this is the easiest way to do it. And yes, Hillary has planted questions at a Town Hall in Iowa in 2008.

On second thought i think visegrip is commenting on the BS of the situation. He sid write the OP after all.

Like you said, given that he wrote the OP ...

"Da FIXXX" IS In on this one... Wait and see! The Clinton Bunch are as snivelly a bunch as you'll ever find. Sniveling bunch of cheaters!

this Town Hall will somehow help Hillary instead of Bernie.



Reality check: most if not all of the Iowa party leadership endorsed Hillary long ago. Bernie knew that going in, and he's successfully dealing with it.

You lose. Next question.

Her current Campaign Chair is too busy lobbying for Saudi Arabia and Weapons Manufacturers...?

Hopefully Bernie and the people of Iowa will be ready for it.

Social media might help with the latter.

People should take notes and report on it so everyone will know what happened.

I'm not a good note taker, but the idea is marvelous. I hope some will do this and report back.

there are efforts to counteract the rigging being assembled as we speak...protests in and out of the venue, and some folks are posing as hillary supporters to get in and maybe ask a question.

i don't plan to watch but i am sure it will totallly backfire on hillary. the veil is off now. people know her game and that of her minions.

bernie will do great despite the collusion to take him down...i smell a another million headed his way!

Fortunately for you, Bernie Sanders doesn't believe in these idiotic charges.

It's in their DNA.

Bernie's known that all along. It's not a conspiracy, just reality.

The dishonesty is what is really killing her now. It only more firmly entrenches her sordid history going back in the minds of the voting public. Hillary is her own worst enemy and she has zero people to blame other than herself!

the Democratic Party. Maybe if he hadn't he'd have more important allies within the Democratic Party.

And by whom? REALLY by whom?

They've paid a lot of money to buy the Democratic party. They aren't just going to give it back. We have to take it back.

The oligarchy has long tentacles.

Bernie waited a bit too long to start making connections outside of Vermont and the Senate.
