The Veterans town hall discussion thread - 9.7.16

So there’s no confusion, this is the thread to discuss the Town Hall that’s about to begin.

Predictions: Trump won’t be able to lay off Hillary Clinton bashing. Hillary will stay on message.

They both will exhibit symptons of Throat Chlamydia.

Hillary opens with experience, Matt responds with emails.

First Q. About emails? Yup.

Great linguistic move, turning the mans experience to her advantage. “As you know and as I know…”

That first question was a total setup. Wonder if they will ask Trump about wall?

I just don’t get it – why does she keep giving serious answers to these loaded questions? Seriously, this is why she’s hanging on for dear life against the most defective candidate of all time.

You know what? These are the same questions that I keep hearing conservative say: “She needs to be asked this!”

I’m glad they are out of the way. She is taking on Libya without being specifically addressed.

Yes, it’s a set-up. Hillary is going to get set up. It’s her responsibility to defend herself. Complaining about being set up is like a UFC fighter complaining that the other guy throws punches or tries to sweep the leg. It’s going to happen. Deal.

One thing about Hillary. She doesn’t ever appear rattled under the pressure.

Also the moderator is a bit of an ass.

Again, it’s called leadership.

Hillary has hit her rhythm.

Are you watching the same thing I’m watching?

He’s assertive. OK, she knew what was on tap. Will Trump have the same guy?

Love the Reagan shout-out.

(RR used to quote “Trust, but verify”. Hillary did it with a twist.)

My wife wants me to go for a walk, in case y’all think I died due to non-responsiveness. :wink:

I did get her to agree to wait 7 minutes.

Hillary doesn’t lose her cool. Got to give her that.

Accepting the challenge of the question (and it is a bit of a softball, given her policy announcements of the past week) is always a good strategy.

Now… Benghazi? Haven’t heard that yet.

Yes, I absolutely am.

She has faced far harder cases then Matt Lauer, believe me.

Walk around the living room? Y’all got stairs to exercise on right?
