Discussion: Fox News To Hold 2020 Town Hall With Bernie Sanders

bdtex · April 3, 2019, 5:13pm

What else happens on April 15th?

bdtex · April 3, 2019, 5:15pm

He may be out of the race by then. March 2020 will be another brutal month for Bern.

reggid · April 3, 2019, 5:18pm

Bernie still being a clueless, hypocritical dickhead, I guess. Quelle surpise.

musgrove · April 3, 2019, 5:18pm

The Town Hall is talking about April 15th 2019, not 2020 if iam reading it correctly.

Bernie will go on the network to validate the unique economic anxiety facing the white working class, and will take pot shots at the Democratic establishment. He’ll get cheers and praise and then that voter base will turn around and vote for Trump. Seen this movie before. Wake me up when he has a new wrinkle.

bdtex · April 3, 2019, 5:20pm

Guess that is it but the wording of the TPM blurb doesn’t make that clear.

bboerner · April 3, 2019, 5:22pm

It’s almost like Bernie’s role is one of chaos agent. Who could possibly benefit from having a chaos agent running amuck on our political system?

bdtex · April 3, 2019, 5:23pm

He’ll get asked about Biden’s " #MeToo problem" also.

occamscoin · April 3, 2019, 5:24pm

I think you are right, but had to go to external sources to verify. TPM dropped the ball here.

April 15 2019 makes a lot more sense for a campaign and primary crossover strategy.

I can help you out there:

k

Now one good thing that’ll come from this is that he’ll be asked about his taxes (likely by Martha), but k.

I’m taxing my brain, but can’t think of anything - maybe we can file this away and return to this question later?

greylady · April 3, 2019, 5:31pm

Ah, Bernie, if your last ten years of tax returns aren’t ready to release, holding a town hall on - April 15th - might not be a good idea…

pluckyinky · April 3, 2019, 5:43pm

I don’t think he cares one way or the other, so I don’t think his motives matter. It’s ultimately all about Bernie and nothing and no one else. Whether that unites or divides the party makes no never mind to him as long as it furthers his goal. He’s a lot like PP in that regard. I don’t think he cares one way or the other whether he tears the country apart or brings it together as long as it benefits him.

pluckyinky · April 3, 2019, 5:47pm

Hmmmm, could be, but this is FOX and it wouldn’t surprise me if they either “forget” to ask about his taxes or let whatever bullshit answer he comes up with slide. They have as much of a vested interest in seeing his campaign do well as do in getting PP reelected.

inversion · April 3, 2019, 5:52pm

Though it’s “pot meets kettle”, they’ll ask him.

They might accept whatever answer that he’ll give em, but Nanny Conway needs a new ‘talking points’ sheet and they’ll oblige her.

mames5 · April 3, 2019, 5:52pm

“Sanders, party of one?”

mike_in_houston · April 3, 2019, 5:58pm

His supporters will be all over social media bitching & moaning about Democratic Party operatives asking questions as soon as someone asks about:

his taxes
getting rid of Obamacare as part of Medicare for All
his history of demeaning women’s & other minority’s issues/concerns as “identity politics”
his lack of control over the Bernie Bros
his gun votes
his rape novel
his lack of legislative accomplishments
his 4 houses
his wife’s sketchy finances
his putting family on the payroll
his particular history of invading women’s personal space (he sticks his finger in people’s faces an awful lot)

tena · April 3, 2019, 6:04pm

He has 4 houses? I had no idea.

That’s a Populist. Tell us more about how you are for the common man.
