The town hall is the first Democratic candidate event that Fox has hosted in years, and will be attended by both Clinton and Sanders. Sanders was originally going to attend alone as Clinton had cited a scheduling conflict, but it appears that conflict is now resolved. The event will be this Monday at 6 PM in Detroit, Michigan.

Interesting. I'm actually quite curious to see how politicians and hosts with such radically different attitudes will handle each other.

I'm still willing to bet there will be less whining about muh biased media here than in the GOP debate, though.

I would be very surprised if Fox doesn't go out of its way to be fair and impartial.  Clinton and Sanders had been hesitant to participate in the network up until now, and any apparent bias would burn any remaining bridges with future Democratic candidates.  Not to mention, they would be very stupid to confirm the narrative that Fox is a branch of the Republican Party.

Wonder what they must have promised Clinton behind the scenes to get her to walk into the Lion's Den like this.  FNC's relationship with the Clinton's is akin to North Korea's relationship with the US.

I personally don't think we should be rewarding FOX with ad dollars to host something like this, but I guess Sanders feels on FOX News will give him fair and balanced coverage.

"Secretariat Clinton, we'd like to ask you a question sent in from 'v.foster45@aol.com': "Hey Hillary is it cool if I come out and endorse you yet or are we still on the DL about that whole thing?"  We assume he is referring to Benghazi, and furthermore this email was "sent in" by our researchers who found it in your hard drive.  Also, how many months has your doctor given you to live?  You have fifteen seconds to respond, which will begin at the start of this question."

"Senator Sanderstein, we believe you are a rapist.  We will now proceed to closing statements."

Well Sanders is setting the Democrat agenda once again, did an interview with Chris Wallace & now agreed to do a Fox Townhall when Clinton refused & Fox went ahead with it.

Michigan is a clutch state & the debate is in Flint while Detroit where the townhall will is a huge city comparatively. It is very obvious Clinton would loose something, a chance to connect with people if she didn't attend.

I am bet she is seething @ Sanders now. Personally I am okay with going to lion's hole
