"Hillary's Town Hall" - I don't follow 2016 speculation at this point, so that aside -

I found her much more personable, approachable and yes, even funny than in her past public appearances that I've seen. Articulate, as always, but not pedantic. Really enjoyed it.

And good questions were posed.

Hillary seems to be well aware of the really big question:

"Why would anyone want to run for President of the United States?"

A nice respite from the vitriol around here.

Hillary has always been funny and approachable. Read the crap that it's spewed here, then multiply it by 10 and that's what she has gotten day in and day out since she entered the public arena. Now tell me how you would feel as a human being getting treated like that every single day of your life. People forget that she's not an automaton, she's a normal person with normal feelings and fears.

If you get a good video of this event or any other of her current appearances, please post them.

So far I've heard what she said about pot, Benghazi, Iraq, Guns but did they ask her any questions about the US economy, inequality, trade policies or financial regulations????

I'm really more interested in where she stands on issues that would help the workers and middle class.
