Anyone going to watch the cnn town hall tonight, and what are your predictions?

i am torn. i already know who i am voting for. i already know cnn will pander to Hillary and set up Bernie. i already know the audience will be stacked. i already know the "audience questions" will be planted.

so what is the point? and i have my blood pressure to think about....

my prediction: some fool, either an "audience member", or a moderator, will ask bernie when he is dropping out.

my advice to bernie: mention the transcripts and don't let up!

how about you guys?

2. I plan to watch and I've watched the last debates on CNN.

I disagree that CNN will pander to Hillary. I felt this question from a prior town hall was a pretty hard one directed toward her.

3. Bernie could just have a little homily about all of America's great leaders

and their famous speeches and what they meant to the country...Lincoln, Patrick Henry, FDR, JFK, MLK Jr., etc....

and say the word 'speeches' about 50 times...

and finish with, "and we are all still waiting to hear one of my esteemed opponent's Wall Street speeches..."

I don't want to miss any comments that I might be able to use in some future discussion. I suspect one question that will be asked of both will be about the SCOTUS.

I will follow the threads on DU. I do hope she gets a transcript question, though.

14. He needs to connect the dots for some people.

Try to show the insane disconnect between what Hillary says about being tough on banks, the amount of money they've paid her, and the fact that she won't release the transcripts. He should just hammer that home the entire night.
