MSNBC wrote these questions for audience. People might have wanted to ask questions on these topics but @MSNBC wrote them. #MSNBCTownhall

Almost every question is against @SenSanders while last night almost every question was on GOP side.

Did Hillary Clinton write these questions for @MSNBC or was it Morning Joe on behalf of @realDonaldTrump? #MSNBCTownhall

every single question has been framed against @SenSanders so far. Most skeptical about how he will treat minorities. #MSNBCTownhall

head out to clean the horse barn stalls (I am watching 1/2 hour behind). In the dark. MUCH better than listening to Hillary. I used to listen but since I learned she will sell out all or any of us I am pretty much not interested. I have no time to listen to her anymore, the only truth there is what you hear at that moment because then she feels it because that is what she needs at that moment. Blech, no thanks.

There is the low road of the scorpion and the high road of the eagle. I'm a Scorpio and was told all my life it was up to me to chose the right arc of the sign. It can be a difficult sun sign to deal with, but my Sagittarius rising helped to balance things out.

Aries (Sag rising here too). I read somewhere that the various consistencies in astrological signs are due to the amount of sunlight the mother received while pregnant. Kind of makes sense, since vitamin D plays such an important role in mood and energy levels.

Her fans in the audience are lapping it up, but I think the electorate isn't all that impressed. And when they look at her multitude of issues, especially her refusal once again to release her transcripts, they'll reject her for being too closely tied to the elite.

I am tired of Bill and Hillary. Voted for Bill twice. Saw both of them campaigning way back in 1992. They talked like liberals but sure didn't act like it. Used to respect them. As Michael Moore said, "Bill Clinton is the best moderate Republican President we've had in a long time.

I will listen to Bernie any time I can, but will never listen to Bill or Hillary again. That's what's changed in 24 years. The Clintons are rich and just as bought off as any corporate Republican, but better on social issues. Which is not enough for a third-generation liberal Democrat like me.

I still want my single-payer health care. I make too much money to be on Medicaid and I'm not old enough for Medicare. I am in an HMO as of this year. Not great, but it sure beats being uninsured for the last ten years.

I got a statement from BCBS saying that my new doctor charged almost $5,000 just for some routine blood tests.

She was the only candidate up there tonight who got booed when she again tried to smear Bernie as "not a democrat". She has no idea how that sours people on her.

I never thought I would get sick of looking at Democrats that seemed to be far smarter and more knowledgeable than any Republicans. But I did. I think Bill got forgiven for a lot of things because when he burst on the scene in 1992, he was young, good-looking, smart as hell and had the most unbelievable charisma I have ever seen in a person. I swear he had a force field around him.

When I saw him campaigning in 1992, I turned into a blubbering idiot who could barely speak. There were a few million other women that had the same reaction. But now we know how rich they are, and Bill has gotten old, and it just seems like now they run on greed and entitlement.

…release her transcripts regardless of what any one else does.

She said she'd do it after all the other candidates release theirs.

WTF?

Where is the leadership? Why does it matter what others do? Where's her own inner rudder?
