Question: did any of the GOP primary "town halls" have a format

[pnwmom]

like the one the Debate Commission has scheduled for October 9?

I watched a few minutes of one on youtube, but it was just Donald Trump sitting by himself with the moderator. There were two other candidates, but it appeared they would be speaking later.

1. I don't think they did any town halls...nt

2. They were called Town Halls, but the one I looked at didn't have a format

like what we're expecting.

It was similar to some that Hillary had with Bernie, where they each spoke separately to the moderator, in front of an audience.

3. This Town Hall will be like the 2012 Obama vs Romney Town Hall debate

Both candidates will be on the stage at the same time. There were no Town Hall debates like this previously this year.

4. Good!

5. Except this one will be a lot more like one of those weird Japanese game shows

6. What does your crystal ball say about . . .

this little item?

And the new co-counsel, J. Cheney Mason (of Casey Anthony fame)?


Is there any "there" there?

7. no coddling of the candidates with questions from the audience, so trump will be

facing some serious questions I imagine on his views of women, taxes, and his tax returns...and being the combative asshole, we could see him lose it against an average american citizen....and I'm sure hillary will be setting him up all the time

as for hillary...nothing in a townhall will phase her....any questions on email, Benghazi, monica, Bill......will never get her to lose her composure

8. I know -- it will be very interesting to see how he confronts audience members

who aren't part of his fan club.

9. we will see the expected response from trump when he is asked a combative question..a

narcissist is always a narcissist....even more so in trump's case. Another dagger in his and the gOP's heart. The flaws of conservatives in general is believing their reality is really the only reality of everyone else....its believing their own press releases and not understanding that most of us have reasonable intelligence and can actually rationally THINK for ourselves.

the rantings to inflame hate on women, minorities , immigrants and working people just don't work with us...and trump needs (and gop) needs some votes from the "us" portion of voters and why he is losing the educated demographic so badly


and thank god for trump and his self importance as that in the end is what defeats him
