Hell, even Cuomo admitted that when he said he didn't care about Bernie's athleticism.

Its a conspiracy I tell you! hrmjustin Jan 2016 #3

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but what is the alternative explanation? n/t ram2008 Jan 2016 #15

Her husband was a former president as was her boss. hrmjustin Jan 2016 #18

Why did he say "I can see why they gave you this question" ram2008 Jan 2016 #20

You do understand they picked the questions and those who asked them? hrmjustin Jan 2016 #28

Do you understand that the questions were supposed to be from the audience? Fawke Em Jan 2016 #93

He submitted the question "for any candidate". One candidate would get the question. CNN decided. nt ieoeja Jan 2016 #114

But why would he say, "I can see why THEY GAVE YOU this question." JDPriestly Jan 2016 #62

Probably when they selected the people who would get to ask their questions, they also decided tblue37 Jan 2016 #79

The evening was set up to favor Hillary. But for me, she talked too much about herself and JDPriestly Jan 2016 #81

So, you make more crap up to contribute to this conspiray OP. Shame on you. riversedge Jan 2016 #85

In teaching older students for 40 years, this young man seems to have come in to - listen and DhhD Jan 2016 #111

He also called her Secretary Sanders... Agschmid Jan 2016 #4

Yeah, that's some real out there stuff thinking that they might load some questions for her. Ed Suspicious Jan 2016 #13

Maybe it was a Sanders supporter..... FrenchieCat Jan 2016 #27

No, that's not how you leapt there. merrily Jan 2016 #108

Maybe at the next Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas JustABozoOnThisBus Jan 2016 #110

And that is a totally nasty smear. murielm99 Jan 2016 #47

HA HA HA HA HA! "He gives the same speech over and over." Yes, he does. Whereas Hillary Clinton Gene Debs Jan 2016 #65

She has detailed plans. murielm99 Jan 2016 #66

and her details change too. As far as Sanders' plans�None are so blind as those Gene Debs Jan 2016 #67

As are Hillary's murielm99 Jan 2016 #70

Not only does Sanders give the same answers but he avoids the question asked politicaljunkie41910 Jan 2016 #76

Correct. murielm99 Jan 2016 #83

Calling someone sexist ridiculously is not a nasty smear? merrily Jan 2016 #105

DUzy... Agschmid Jan 2016 #39

Why, is Bill's now missing? LOL John Poet Jan 2016 #68

As if continuous accusations of sexism aren't nasty? merrily Jan 2016 #103

Oh, she's definitely a gifted orator. VulgarPoet Jan 2016 #101

Who Gave Who The Question?..... global1 Jan 2016 #7

very well could be Duckhunter935 Jan 2016 #10

I read that post. Most 840high Jan 2016 #69

I saw that too Duckhunter935 Jan 2016 #8

He was called to ask the question he submitted. joshcryer Jan 2016 #11

Too late. Agschmid Jan 2016 #42

are you serious? nt retrowire Jan 2016 #63

Yes, that's how they almost always take questions. joshcryer Jan 2016 #64

the guy said retrowire Jan 2016 #71

He was referring to his question. joshcryer Jan 2016 #74

yes my wife found this out last night retrowire Jan 2016 #112

Why they gave YOU this (my) question whatthehey Jan 2016 #106

I noticed that as well oberliner Jan 2016 #12

I don't understand what happened there Renew Deal Jan 2016 #14

That question certainly raised questions. Broward Jan 2016 #17

I think it answered a few as well. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #19

+1 OrwellwasRight Jan 2016 #23

Lol, well done. draa Jan 2016 #36

Wow! I hope the media caught that CoffeeCat Jan 2016 #22

Obviously all the questions were pre-selected. Each questioner was introduced by name ecstatic Jan 2016 #25

Yep. That's how I look at it too. n/t Contrary1 Jan 2016 #77

Caught that as well. Sadly, we knew there would be plants and softballs for HRC. Jackilope Jan 2016 #26

Cause your brother said you were really a great athelete.... FrenchieCat Jan 2016 #33

That was a trap. This was canned. There's a difference berni_mccoy Jan 2016 #37

Yeah....cause the question about her being called dishonest.... FrenchieCat Jan 2016 #49

If she knew they were coming they were. berni_mccoy Jan 2016 #51

That was a set up to talk about his age. Fawke Em Jan 2016 #94

What did the moderator say at the beginning? toshiba783 Jan 2016 #29

The person acted as if it was not his question. berni_mccoy Jan 2016 #34

The person also adressed her as Senator Sanders... toshiba783 Jan 2016 #52

Yes, the questionners were introduced by name and school. --FOR ALL 3 CANDIIDATES. NO riversedge Jan 2016 #40

There is a story somewhere on DU, I read it earlier today about a girl being onecaliberal Jan 2016 #38

all 3 CANDIDATES QUESTIONS FOR AUDIANCE WERE INTRODUCED BY NAME AND SCHOOL riversedge Jan 2016 #43

I actually missed the opening. Rilgin Jan 2016 #48

I think the question we should be asking is... draa Jan 2016 #44

My guess? Chris Cuomo. Townhalls are a frickin farce these days -- it is all just optics. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #82

I caught this as well Rilgin Jan 2016 #45

Does anyone think... quickesst Jan 2016 #46

Could be... MrMickeysMom Jan 2016 #50

Maybe he meant the question to be for Bernie not Hillary and they had him switch oberliner Jan 2016 #53

Why would they have him switch? Maybe my clock is wrong but one thing I noticed on that last Uncle Joe Jan 2016 #56

CNN's post show discussion played Hillary up & ended with her. senz Jan 2016 #57

yeah the post show was all about Hillary. retrowire Jan 2016 #72

What do you think he meant by his remark? oberliner Jan 2016 #88

On the face of it this sounds like someone other than him selected the question, although Uncle Joe Jan 2016 #95

That might be. On the other hand one could say her answer was well prepared Matariki Jan 2016 #61

One other thing I noticed. Rilgin Jan 2016 #54

Good point. Very observant. senz Jan 2016 #58

OMGGGGOO>>>>>>>>>>>Another fricking Make up piece of crap by a Sanders fan that is bound to riversedge Jan 2016 #87

so busted Matariki Jan 2016 #59

I can understand why CNN would have varied questions lovemydog Jan 2016 #60

Damn,...nothing on but reruns. Spitfire of ATJ Jan 2016 #73

Another stupid conspiracy theory debunked. Anyone think people will ever wise up? Hoyt Jan 2016 #78

Chuckle. 53 RECs. Sad for DU riversedge Jan 2016 #84

+1, LOL n/t FSogol Jan 2016 #86

Right, so they decided to have that question go to HRC oberliner Jan 2016 #89

They did not "write the question for him." That's implication. Clinton had a 1 out of 3 chance to Hoyt Jan 2016 #102

Agreed oberliner Jan 2016 #113

Who said it was a conspiracy? I stand by my observation. berni_mccoy Jan 2016 #91

I predict a dozen more OPs about this mcar Jan 2016 #98

That does not debunk it. n/t Skwmom Jan 2016 #100

it's such a dumb fucking question-- no real person cares about that shit Fast Walker 52 Jan 2016 #90

Agreed. berni_mccoy Jan 2016 #92

Yep. nt thereismore Jan 2016 #104

Seems glaringly obvious. 99Forever Jan 2016 #96

Looked to me like the young man was a Sanders supporter... ljm2002 Jan 2016 #97

At least it wasn't "Boxers or Briefs?". Buns_of_Fire Jan 2016 #99

I loved her answer CajunBlazer Jan 2016 #109
