Bernie Sanders' Fox News town hall wasn't a debate. Bernie won anyway.

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

When speaking directly to audience members or to the TV audience watching at home, Sanders was sincere and open. When asked about President Donald Trump, he spoke with emotion about how he hoped everyone could agree a ‘pathological liar” should not be president; in his closing statement, he practically begged for more comity in the country, without backing off his insistence that the rich need to do more to provide for working families.

When speaking to Baier and McCallum, however — or, in a couple of moments, directly to the Fox News-watcher-in-chief — Sanders was as prickly as you’d expect. “The president watches your network a bit, right?” he needled. He hectored the hosts for making more money than he did. He huffed that he’d give fair answers only if asked fair questions.

The Fox News hosts provided the perfect foil.

Sanders directed his irritations at them, giving the audience plenty of the authentic-seeming “Bernie from Brooklyn” without actually being irritated with any potential voters, and without saying anything negative about any of his fellow Democrats also running for the presidency. When McCallum invited him to attack Biden as a centrist or South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg for suggesting Sanders might be too old, Sanders demurred — pointing out that Biden was a friend and that the primary was for voters to hear differences and make up their minds, or half-joking about his distant past as a long-distance runner.

4. I couldn't agree more sfwriter.

6. YES

7. Reminds me of when he went to Liberty University in 2016.

I was appalled when I first head he was going to do it but it needs to be done. I don't know if he made any converts but his message of caring for each other resonated with some of the students I think.

15. I have to disagree. Fox should be shunned.

5. I'm glad it went well for Bernie ova there at Faux. I wonder do they fill the audience with

friendlies or are they really hardcore pukes.

[Uncle Joe]

8. No doubt there were some of both but the national viewing audience of

FOX were exposed unfiltered to Bernie's message as well.
