Proposed questions to be asked at the NY Debate, add your own!

[blueintelligentsia]

They usually pull a question or two from twitter to ask the candidates.

What question would you like asked? I'm going to aggregate the most popular questions, poll them, and push them to be asked.

1. Both: Do you endorse a $15 minimum wage increase nation wide?
Follow up: Secretary Clinton, after endorsing NY's 15/hr minimum wage increase, are you still in favor of 12/hr on the federal level?
2. Both: Do you think you are a stronger advocate/leader for Women's rights?
3. Both: Are you a moderate or a progressive?
4. (Leave the email scandal alone?) The FBI just interviewed your four top aides, do you care to comment? Or do you believe the FBI over-classified your
5. Both: Where do you stand on fracking and environmental issues?
6. Senator Sanders: Clearly, you focus on Wall-Street often, is it fair to characterized you as a one issue candidate?
7. With the #panamapapers making headlines last week, what does it confirm in your mind about the legal, but questionable practices of Corporations using tax havens to avoid paying taxes?
8. (question for CNN) Why did you not report on the #occupyCNN protests outside many of your buildings?

Edit: Questions that are commented more frequently will be added on an ongoing basis here.

Edit 1: Why do you think so few individuals have been prosecuted for the 2008 financial debacle? Do you think we should have had a more vigorous investigation into why it happened and who was responsible?
Edit 2: What comprehensive services would you put on the table to deal with the many issues that people in dire poverty face, such as disabilities both mental and physical to obtain and retain employment? And for others who have difficulties retaining or obtaining employment who face multiple issues such as finding a reliable car, daycare, and other essential services to be able to work?

1. It would be great if they actually had a kind of debate where they ask each other questions.

[blueintelligentsia]

2. They would just dodge and not get anywhere, they need a moderator...

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters need moderators as well, hah.

[Duval]

3. I like that format, also.

And, yes, they need a moderator!

4. It gives a better indication of the candidate.

Limit each debate to a specific topic and find out where they stand.

[blueintelligentsia]

6. Brooklyn is pretty close to Wall Street....n/t

[jalan48]

7. Good topic-especially given the big problems there just a few years ago.

[blueintelligentsia]

9. Ok great, do you have a question regarding that topic? n/t

[jalan48]

10. Why do you think so few individuals have been prosecuted for the 2008 financial debacle?

Do you think we should have had a more vigorous investigation into why it happened and who was responsible?

[blueintelligentsia]

11. Love it! I'm going to add that. Thanks! n/t

12. Great!

5. I have a questions that will never be asked

1. Hillary you have said that Nancy Reagan was a "very effective, low-key" advocate on AIDS/HIV. But, where were you on the issue when it was apparent that AIDS was spreading much faster into communities particularly AA communities due to blood mining in prisons. A practice that should have been eliminated at the federal level, but wasn't. Do you think that Bill Clinton should have stopped it in Arkansas as many other Governors did in their states?

2. This one won't be asked of Bernie and it's a tough question as well I think. Bernie, you are a strong advocate for income equality what would your proposals be for creating affordable housing for every citizen and ending homelessness? What comprehensive services would you put on the table to deal with the many issues that people in dire poverty face, such as disabilities both mental and physical? And what do you propose for people who often times have difficulty in holding down a job when faced with multiple crisis's such as vehicle with too high a repair price tag and loss of day care and other family issues that our system currently doesn't acknowledge as employment barriers.

[blueintelligentsia]

8. I agree on the first question.....

1. Though, I would like for it to be asked.
2. Excellent question, would you mind tailoring it, making more succinct? I'm going to poll the most popular questions.

[Kalidurga]

13. I am afraid this is the best I can do.

Bernie:
What comprehensive services would you put on the table to deal with the many issues that people in dire poverty face, such as disabilities both mental and physical to obtain and retain employment? And for other's who have difficulties retaining or obtaining employment who face multiple issues such as finding a reliable car, daycare, and other essential services to be able to work?

[blueintelligentsia]

14. Excellent, added up top, n/t

[DebDoo]

15. For Hillary: Do you still use your blackberry?

[jillan]

16. I just hope they will talk about climate change!

[Lone_Wolf]

17. I would ask if "They think fracking is safe?"

It's a huge issue in NY and will highlight $hillary's coziness with Big Oil and Gas.

[Duckfan]

18. I would ask something on NAFTA

Since the late 90's, this country has been bleeding good paying manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China as a result of NAFTA. This trade policy has decimated families and communities across the country. As president, what action would you take to bring back high wage manufacturing jobs back to this country and would you end NAFTA and other crippling trade agreements?

[hopemountain]

19. for both:

regardless of which of you is elected president, would you both be willing and committed to work diligently with one another to institute single payer health care and lower the costs of medical care and pharmaceuticals for every single american in every community across this country?
