Town halls are ridiculously boring after you have had one or two. The only interesting soundbites normally come from softball questions meant to humanize that candidates.

Bill Clinton always held town hall meetings.

I should have said televised. Town Halls are obviously useful for campaign events when the candidates are meeting voters, but having each candidate come out and talk for half an hour when they could just be having a debate is boring.

This is another one where the candidates aren't on stage at the same time, right?

The only interesting thing to come out of this will be seeing if Fox News tries to earn credibility by giving HRC a fair town hall, or if they go out of their way to sabotage her and prop up Sanders.

I'd be willing to bet Sanders gets lots of questions about his lack of appeal to black people to give him the opportunity to earn back some points, and Hillary gets asked about Benghazi, the e-mail scandal and trust a lot.

Bernie needs to make it clear that Hillary wasn't honest when she insinuated that he opposed the auto bailout.

Any decent journalist not bought would naturally ask her about the emails when her lead staffer has been granted immunity & when she is under FBI Investigation. She should also get question on the Clinton Foundations Scandals & subpoena's.

Transcripts, NAFTA, Trump, etc will definitely pop up.

With Sanders what can you ask apart from Black voters & stuff, he is not a heavily scandalized candidate. But knowing Fox they will go hard about getting his plans passed through Congress, Big Govt vs Small Govt, Tax raises & "Socialism" which they still can't accept, even Single Payer or Free College, probably not guns because they love it.

I am okay with Sanders getting asked tough questions. You shouldn't be running for POTUS if you can't handle them, Clinton even being such a scandalized candidate has been overly protected by everyone.

Yes she was. He voted against it, and he joined with the tea party to vote against the import-export bank as well.

Moderator?

EDIT: Bret Baier. Hopefully he is fair. I would think he will be. Fox News has been tough on Republican candidates, but none of their tough questions have been really unfair. Hopefully that continues tonight.

Maybe the only people on Fox I can tolerate are Colmes and Wallace. I don't watch much.

Between Hannity, O'Reilly, Starnes, Carlson, Tantaros, Hasselbeck, I'm not sure who my least favorite Fox personality is.

Typical right, always showing concern for Christians as victims but not other people.

It's not you. I've noticed it too.

It's not the liberal media. It's the corporate media.

They always need to give the edge to Hillary in being able to respond to him and not vice versa.
