CNN Derry, NH Democratic town hall @9pm ET **live commentary thread**

[Penelope]

Hillary - "My Iraq Vote was Bush's fault. " Is she a troll or what?

Hillary Middle of the road Answers. The poor guy asks a question about euthanasia so earnestly & he gives an irrelevant talk for 5 minutes. That guy must be so frustrated.

Hillary is getting massacred. Very embarrassing for her.

This is like Ultimate Warrior destroying HHH in 12s of something.

are you ok?

I don't think he is.

[Mr. Morden]

Whoa, these questions are getting pretty abstract.

2016 Election Part 2: Revenge Of The Two Pockets

[Likely Voter]

If you were a tree would you make a sound if one leaf clapped?

[Joe Biden 2020]

That was a long answer, thanks Rabbi.

[Pyro]

Clinton talking about how she's gonna "take on the banks" stronger than Sanders is so silly.

[The Other Castro]

Clinton is really waffling on this Wall street answer.

[Likely Voter]

Hillary should say she doesn't want her super PAC to do anything during the primary and that she only wants their support for a potential general election to counter GOP supper PACs, again Obama had one too.

[DrScholl]

Clinton talking about how she's gonna "take on the banks" stronger than Sanders is so silly.

The difference is in specific. Clinton pointed out clear instances of the system being gamed, whereas Sanders just repeats the same generic lines that are short on specifics.

[Pyro]

"I'm so totally very very not influenced by the millions of dollars I'm paid by Goldman Sachs."

[Joe Biden 2020]

The first half of her hour tonight was very strong.  The second half, not so much.  Anybody else get this vibe?

[YPestis25]

The first half of her hour tonight was very strong.  The second half, not so much.  Anybody else get this vibe?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Kind of the inverse of Sanders, who I thought got stronger as the night went on.

[The Other Castro]

The first half of her hour tonight was very strong.  The second half, not so much.  Anybody else get this vibe?

Pretty much, she's shifting into default Clinton candidate mode now.

[henster]

The Goldman Sachs answer sunk this for her the soundbites will surely be circulated for weeks after tonight.

[DrScholl]

Is there anyone in this thread that would not take speaking fees if offered to speak somewhere? I seriously doubt it.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I missed the Goldman Sachs part (I took a twenty minute smoking break) but so far, Hillary has been very....likable (I can't believe I just typed that).

[This account no longer in use.]

"I'm so totally very very not influenced by the millions of dollars I'm paid by Goldman Sachs."

The Hillary Clinton got one millyin from the Goldmain Sacks, who are the Fed.

[The Other Castro]

Is there anyone in this thread that would not take speaking fees if offered to speak somewhere? I seriously doubt it.

Obviously not but I would rightly deserve to be criticized for it if the money came from people I claimed to be taking on.

[Shadows]

You can't take 0.5M$ in speaking fees from Goldman & say you're against Wall Street. You can't take 20M$ every election from Wall Street & say you're against them.

It's stupid. GS or JPMC offers these huge sums to buy election - What can she add? I have a paper on unconventional monetary policy, GS never offers me sh*t to have me speak...lol...It's a legal bribe.

And I thought she was very bad with the euthanasia answer.
She was bad with blaming Bush for her vote
She started bad & it only sank & sank further

Horrible night for her, pretty embarassing. Last time Hillary chose the questions. There are videos of people saying "You have to ask Question X." We need real, original questions for which she has not prepared a 1000 times

[Lief 🗽]

[The Other Castro]

He's not running for President.

[Lyin' Steve]

Sanders has three attacks on Clinton.  She gave speeches to Goldman Sachs executives.  She takes donations from wall street.  She voted for the Iraq War thirteen years ago.  It must be frustrating for Clinton to hear people criticize her for "going negative" or "going on the attack" and then in the next breath talking about how much they love that Sanders has run a positive campaign, like that woman who was just on CNN five minutes ago.

In other news, I liked Hillary's answer about sneaking out of the White House in a baseball cap.

[indysaff]

I thought they both did well, but Sanders seemed more likeable and performed better when addressing the questions he was asked. His answers in regards to Veterans and the Heroin problems we're probably my favorite parts.
