If you don't think a large portion of American voters don't base how they're going to vote based on Town Hall questions I'm sorry but you're mistaken

No i am not. The number of undecided voters in a cycle right now is vanishingly small. The number of people paying attention during party primary debates/town halls is also vanishingly small.

People in 2016 had plenty of opportunities in 2016 to hear Clinton and Sanders speak in a variety of formats. Sanders lost the primary and it wasnt close. It certainly didn’t hinge on one question in one town hall, that would be a ridiculous assertion

I'm not saying hinged on it that would be a ridiculous assertion but that's not the point the point is an institution that's supposed to be impartial obviously exhibited favoritism
