22. I don't object to what Bernie did

I'm also not foolish enough to believe he won hearts and minds by entering the dragon's lair.

As this took place in my hometown I will say the way Fox conducted the town hall was fair. I have a married couple friends that are very big Bernie supporters. They were able to get tickets and the wife got to ask a question.

If they are going to conduct themselves the same way with the other town halls I don't object to any candidate doing them and if they continue to behave this way the debate position should be reconsidered.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
