We know what Fox is up to. They will fill the audience with Bernie supporters.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Most of our candidates are talking to Democrats, who are primarily responsible for choosing... George II Apr 2019 #15

How does this strategy help? floppyboo Apr 2019 #16

I guess the strategy is Fox viewers aren't real Americans and don't get to vote.. bahrbearian Apr 2019 #26

If you don't want what you call "divisive" then... Cary Apr 2019 #76

How many of those viewing last night, or the other Democratic town halls on Fox.... George II Apr 2019 #31

Quite a few I think. floppyboo Apr 2019 #35

I already told you where to find it. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #46

Post something as fact with no links to back it up? Autumn Apr 2019 #47

If you don't want to look for the link, TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #48

I watched that video, your site is"mistaken" when it says most of the audience were in Autumn Apr 2019 #49

That's convenient. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #51

The truth hurts I guess!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #60

Read. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #50

Thanks for the link. But it doesn't say most of the audience were in Sanders gear. nt Autumn Apr 2019 #53

The live blog did. the TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #58

Just to let you know that I wasn't lying. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #70

You have gone from most of the audience was wearing Sanders gear to they were mostly Sanders Autumn Apr 2019 #73

Despite my misstatement on what people were wearing, TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #82

Really? Is this one debate going to make Fox credible? floppyboo Apr 2019 #17

With Sanders supporters, apparently so. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #24

They can debate all they want on FOX Skidmore Apr 2019 #6

Lol. As if they won't slice and dice footage without these town halls. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #8

It's one thing for our nominee to woo the "fully ONE THIRD of the electorate" after July 2020.... George II Apr 2019 #13

Most Democrats already know who they'll vote for Instant Liberal Apr 2019 #23

Fox news watchers wont vote for a democrat. drray23 Apr 2019 #55

Exactly. And the clips of running down the Democratic R B Garr Apr 2019 #11

This. nt Skidmore Apr 2019 #12

which didn't happen on Fox. Sanders constantly represented his views as Democratic. floppyboo Apr 2019 #18

It's pretty well-known what Sanders has to say about Democrats. R B Garr Apr 2019 #19

"It's pretty well known what Sanders has said about Corporate Dems." bahrbearian Apr 2019 #27

LOL corporate Dems, yet another smear along R B Garr Apr 2019 #37

He does it all the time. Instant Liberal Apr 2019 #22

Is voting for the Iraq war part of the party Platform Now? bahrbearian Apr 2019 #28

There never would have been an Iraq war except for R B Garr Apr 2019 #38

So no Democrats voted for IWR, interesting it was all the Repugs fault? bahrbearian Apr 2019 #39

LMAO, yes, the Iraq war was started by a Republican! R B Garr Apr 2019 #40

But it did happen and these Dems voted for it... bahrbearian Apr 2019 #41

The Nader voters were responsible for the Iraq war. There would R B Garr Apr 2019 #77

I wish they would Instant Liberal Apr 2019 #20

Good. elleng Apr 2019 #21

If you have a good message don't pass up an opportunity to broadcast it. Snotcicles Apr 2019 #72

Glad he could boost their ratings... SidDithers Apr 2019 #25

Yeah...I can't imagine Democrats would do this. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #43

"Glad he could boost their ratings" bernie59 Apr 2019 #65

frankly i dont give a rats behind if they go on faux news... samnsara Apr 2019 #29

Probably no one on DU is the target audience for Fox bernie59 Apr 2019 #66

Why were so many of his supporters in the audience, then? (nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #78

Bernie leads the way workinclasszero Apr 2019 #34

Abso-fuckin-lutely!! Bernie is a born leader and a true original!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #61

Yep...leadership workinclasszero Apr 2019 #62

Right let's give Fox ratings. Seriously bad idea. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #42

A boost in Fox ratings to see Bernie? bernie59 Apr 2019 #67

Frankly, I think some candidates don't go on Fox due to fear bernie59 Apr 2019 #44

if they are invited, every dem nominee should go on fox AlexSFCA Apr 2019 #52

Pardon the attitude but screw Fox. We shouldn't t be helping their rating and they will cherry pick CentralMass Apr 2019 #59

Did you watch the videos? rgbecker Apr 2019 #63

No. However to prove a point I just clicked on Fox News for the first time in 7 or 8 year. CentralMass Apr 2019 #64

Yep, Bernie held his ground. He's a natural. bernie59 Apr 2019 #68

I do think Elizabeth and Mayor Pete would do VERY well going on Faux News... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #69

Yes they would do well. Both are very focused on their message and are not easily distracted. Autumn Apr 2019 #74

because 🔩 our boycott of the Nazis! robbedvoter Apr 2019 #75

Will their audience be full of their supporters, too? (nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #79

More likely itsrobert Apr 2019 #81
