Sanders and Clinton will be on the same CNN stage tonight, but no debating! Thanks, DNC. (edited)

Washington Post

DNC has scheduled a last minute Town Hall style event that will be broadcast on CNN tonight. Seems like an emergency call, to me, to get Hillary in front of the Iowa voters one last time before next Monday, Feb.1, when Iowa chooses their Democratic nominee. Bernie just pulled up even with Hillary in several Iowa polls.

I heard mention too that President Bill, is canceling campaign events he had planned this week in California and will instead stay in Iowa and campaign for the rest of the week.



Edit to add I won't change the OP but I was incorrect... this is not the DNC. It's not a debate because of the DNC rules on candidates debating outside their scheduled debates. My mistake.

Maybe Bernie would have done better to run under the "Socialist Party" rather than pretending to be a Democrat? Would he have the same support if he did and if not why?

I am still trying to wrap my head around how an Independent is running on another party ticket! Isn't that the main reason Ron Paul went Republican?

Bernie should have learned from that, unless of course it is just another part of the script to fool the masses?

Interesting...

IMO, it remains to be seen who this is intended to benefit, though.

On the other hand, Trump has changed parties five times in fifteen years. He only recently became a republican (again). If Bernie joined the democratic party and then spent all his time fracturing and criticizing it, I would think he was up to no good.

a reply to: seeker1963

He ran on the Democratic ticket so as not to split the moderate, liberal, left vote.

It's crystal clear as to whom this is supposed to benefit. I just don't think it actually will.

Sounds to me that after the first 30 minutes there is no point in continuing to watch.

Hopefuly people tune out before hillary gets her turn.

I'm not so sure. There is an Iowa State basketball game on tonight and there will be a lot more focus on that, rather than the Drake University town hall event.

If it benefits Hillary, then I am inclined to agree with your reasoning. If it benefits Bernie, then I'll have to respectfully disagree.

Bernie does have the biggest spending plan. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that he's the Chosen One, part 2. Congress represents the Establishment because Congress diverts all of America's resources into endeavors of the Establishment's choosing.

If it doesn't benefit Hillary, it's not because 'the plan' failed. I don't believe that for a moment.

I guess it depends, not everyone likes basketball.

That's silly, sorry. Every trick Hillary uses ends up blowing up in her face so far.

Yep. They sure do all seem to blow up in her face. Odd considering the 'Establishment' has so much control, eh?

Hillary won the popular vote, in 2008, yet the DNC Establishment gave Obama 600,000 votes cast for her in Michigan -- which gave Obama the nomination.

At some point it becomes crystal clear the Establishment (and Hillary) were pulling for Obama and they may just be pulling for Bernie, too. I am sure Hillary will profit from Congress spending $18 trillion under Bernie.

You're simply believing that only the "chosen" can win. It isn't so, just no outsider has been as successful as Bernie has been (so far). He's in the game but refusing to play by the unfair rules everyone else insists on.

True there.

Do you happen to know if this even will be live streamed?

a reply to: introvert

I'm looking but I don't see one. I'll go to CNN.go at 9:00 and see if they have it.

a reply to: Kali74

Damn.

cnn.go doesn''t work for because you have to sign in through a cable provider and I do not have satellite or cable.

Because that's my entire life's experience. Every. Single. Time.

And I don't believe any of the major two party candidates are outsiders. They are all players -- win or lose.

All I could find.. hopefully something helps

I don't have CNN with my cable package. So I'm SOL as well. Maybe it will be on YouTube tomorrow.

I found a live stream, but I don't think it's on the up-and-up. Perhaps a torrent site?
