Shouldn't she go first, since she's leading the polls?? I think Bernie is placed at a disadvantage by going before her.

(Democratic Forum live at MSNBC tonite at 8pmET).

[darkangel218]

17. MSNBC has an app

Not sure if you need to log in or not. Let me see if I can find the link

[retrowire]

22. please do! :) n/t

[darkangel218]

24. OK, here is what I found

The event from Rock Hill, SC will air live on MSNBC at 8 p.m. For viewers who are eager to watch the forum through their computers, the option to use the MSNBC TV app is available as well. The app is a free download from NBC News Digital. Additionally, a cable or satellite subscription with an active log-in account can access the content through www.msnbc.com/now as it airs.

9. Use the restroom, I think

If he leaves the seat up, we'll hear no end of it.

[retrowire]

14. *slaps knee, guffaws loudly* XD n/t

[jberryhill]

16. Over on Fox, they are shouting "SEE! SEE! DO WOMEN WANT BERNIE SANDERS USING THEIR BATHROOM!"

If we pass these LGBT non-discrimination laws, then any woman might have to face Bernie Sanders in the bathroom.

People have been talking about his butt-crack for days!

[jberryhill]

4. Go before her and do what?

Bow?

Kneel?

Strew rose petals in her path?

Make offerings of incense?

[darkangel218]

6. Speak in the Democratic Forum tonite

Sheesh! Lol

[99th_Monkey]

5. It is what it is. We can't complain ..

or we'll be called complainers.

[darkangel218]

8. True that.. I just don't think it's fair

I admire Rachel greatly, I just hope she will be fair though, since she's a Hillary supporter.

[99th_Monkey]

10. Well, I see your point

given how it's Hillary's DNC that won't allow actual debates (where candidates
get to ANSWER charges leveled at them); but no, no debate unless it's only six,
where DNC arranges for them, and dictates many of the terms thereof.

I was mostly joshing you.

[jberryhill]

13. What would be fair?

Doesn't someone have to go first?

Should they open with a staring contest and the first one to say something has to keep talking first?

Or should they talk at the same time on different stereo channels?

[darkangel218]

15. Since this is not a debate, whatever points anyone might bring cannot be answered

By the other candidates, unless they follow. Whoever is last has the advantage.

[jberryhill]

20. I understand that

I'm not particularly aware of whether the format will have any rebuttal.

But, you said it wasn't "fair" for Bernie to go first. Does that mean it would be "fair" for Hillary to go first, if there are no rebuttals?

[darkangel218]

21. She's leading in polls, she should go first.

[jberryhill]

25. Well, that would have to be a rule agreed in advance

I'm inclined to believe that the order of appearance was chosen by a method that was agreed in advance.

[darkangel218]

27. I agree with you on that.

We probably disagree on the parties involved in the said agreement.

[jberryhill]

33. I have no idea what that sentence means

But the candidates would have agreed on the method - coin flip or whatever - since someone has to go first.

As for your intution, it sucks:

36. K.

[Ed Suspicious]

28. I would like that but I'm not sure I understand your rationale.

[darkangel218]

34. Let the "underdogs" have the last word.

Even though I don't really consider Bernie an underdog. But at least by media and polls standards.

[retrowire]

31. i thought she was pro Bernie? n/t

[darkangel218]

32. She is?

Not so sure about that. I've been following her for a while, just not lately, due to lack of time. I may be wrong.

[retrowire]

35. my wife says shes pro bernie

and that she hides it to be unbiased on television. that's the impression that I've known at least.

[darkangel218]

37. That would be great if it was true!

[appalachiablue]

38. This week she said on Meredith Vieira's TV show that Bernie couldn't get his plans

passed, and she'll ask him about it tonight. Also Rachel does not, or cannot bring up on her show important issues like TPP, Net Neutrality and Climate Change (corporate taboos?) which Bernie emphasizes. He's too liberal and she's not for him is the consensus.

[darkangel218]

39. Thats the impression I had as well, as far as her opinion about Bernie

I don't mind a forum hosted by her, but it really bothered me that Bernie is going before Hillary. Why let the leader in the polls have the last word??

[appalachiablue]

40. That will go against Bernie but I don't know how they determine order at these forums.

Tweety is disgusting, a real windbag interrupter with 3 points who seriously needs to take up golf, full time. What an embarrassment.

You know there's another Forum on Immigration with Bernie and O'Malley on Sunday livestreamed from Las Vegas, 4 PM PT according to The Nation. The info. is posted in GD-P by elleng.

[darkangel218]

41. No, I wasn't aware of that! Thank you for posting this and I encourage you to start a short OP

I bet many are not aware of it either!

Cheers!!

[SoapBox]

11. Fine with me...

Then I can turn it of!

Oh gawd...but right now...Tweety and his, Is Bernie a Democrat?

Kiss my ass Tweety...it's the way our system is set up.

He makes me nuts...

[darkangel218]

12. Yah, I had to mute him.

[SoapBox]

18. Hey Tweety...your bias and stoopid are showing!

[darkangel218]

23. Look at all the Bernie signs behind Tweety

Tweety is uncomfortable.

[Kalidurga]

19. They should do rock paper scissors to see who goes first.

[merrily]

42. Of course. She gets to rebut whatever he says. Also, we know subliminally that

shows build to what the show considers the main attraction because we've seen it so many times. They don't put Bieber on first and the lady who saw Jesus in a potato chip on at the end. They want the audience to hang in there throughout.

Don't expect anyone in media to favor Sanders or you will be continually disappointed.

[RoccoR5955]

43. No....

Because this way people will hear Bernie's message FIRST. This way they will know that Hillary is just parroting him, and trying to woo the Left. If Clinton went on first, she could mention that she is for ALL of Bernie's points, and people would think that Hillary came up with them first!

[darkangel218]

44. Good point!!!!!!!!

Thank you!! X

[glinda]

45. Thought it out and it is better he went first in some ways.

If she repeats anything he says well then.....
on the down side she had the advantage to take notes and add or subtract. I thought her video was unfortunate in the sense that she used the "screaming thing" again.
Sad really.
