Less than 24 hours after ABC News announced Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton would participate in a town hall with George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts tomorrow morning on Good Morning America, Clinton canceled.
“Due to a scheduling issue, the Good Morning America town hall event with Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton will not be airing tomorrow,” ABC News said this afternoon, adding, “Information regarding a rescheduled appearance with Clinton to come.”
But, given that GMA has another town hall set for Monday, with Sen. Ted Cruz, and that the New York primary is set for the next day, April 19, it’s unlikely Clinton’s sit down will happen before that key primary.
Clinton was to have been GMA town hall-ing as her Dem rival Bernie Sanders was attending a Vatican City economic conference. Both candidates are set to debate tonight in Brooklyn, hosted by CNN. Sanders’ decision to take a break from the campaign after that, to head to Rome, leaves the local field open to Clinton for a short window, though she’s jetting to California for a Bay Area fundraising dinner tomorrow, followed by another at the George and Amal Clooney residence on Saturday.
Realistically, tonight’s debate probably will own tomorrow morning’s news cycle. And, Sanders is scheduled to return to town on Saturday, ahead of Clinton.
Clinton is expected to win the New York primary where she’s leading in recent polls by double digits.
Probably concerned the ratings would go through the floor and display the lack of interest and enthusiasm in her candidacy.
Nah, she had to make a decision: Talk to voters, or fund raise with her true constituents at George Clooney’s house.
Hong Kong, actually, but still $2700 a plate. Politics, priorities, et cetera, et cetera…
Clinton is obviously running scared. Bernie is pulling huge crowds in NYC and closing the gap. Is she worried about how she is going to be perceived the morning after the CNN debate? Whatever — it doesn’t look good for her.
I hope the Vatican City conference is covered. That really intrigues me as something special.
It is something special, and I hope they cover it, too…but I wouldn’t hold my breath that the corporate media will do that. I betcha we’ll have to look to the foreign papers for that.
Hillary is fund raising in Hong Kong tomorrow.
And that should tell us all something because it speaks volumes. No one lives in Hong Kong unless they’re filthy rich. Just sayin’.
She was expected to win Michigan…Wisconsin…and several others, too….but she didn’t. And some of those that she did win, she won by the hairs of her chinney-chin-chin…. She might consider herself a New Yorker, but she once claimed to be an Arkansan, too…replete with a fake Southern drawl, now long gone as it’s no longer “needed”.
Sanders actually IS a New Yorker. While he may no longer live there, he was raised in Brooklyn and his roots are in New York. Maybe Clinton shouldn’t count her chickens until they’re actually hatched.
I absolutlely LOVE this man!!!
I am a registered Republican and I really like Trump.
Cruz is a joke!!!
This man…..Bernie Sanders has heart.
I am getting swayed because I feel he really wants to bring us back to our “America”
I will NEVER EVER support Hillary!!!
She is all show.
Not even a TRUE New Yorker!!!
I have a personal story about her however I will not post it due to the fact that my family is involved.
There is a plethora of things wrong with her and her use of sick children to win votes.
Love the fact that Mr. Sanders used an iconic song for his campaign which appeals to all.
I am weighing out the campaign …….

He is a good man, definitely, research and consider all candidates in the race. I get the Trump appeal because of his candid behaviors and willingness to call the system out for what it is and I respect that about him. But when it comes to running a country we need someone who unites us all not just a select few, Bernie is the only man in my 44 years of life that has managed not only to bring America together but every single other country as well.
In which case he should have been winning a lot of primaries with diverse populations, which he hasn’t. Instead he has been mostly winning through the caucus system in largely white states. His percentage of black and Latin supporters is way too low for him to be a unifier of any kind.
There is a lot of voter suppression going on too, you must realize. A recount was done in Nevada and Bernie won it back. Arizona was a complete scam turning thousands of independents away. New York has been doing the same as well. 15,000 people have been thrown off the voting polls in Staten Island; Suffolk County just received 7000 letters that said, you just didn’t change your party affiliation in time. It’s been happening since the start of this process. It blatant and in our faces, yet, it continues. It’s Bernie or Oligarchy imo. We’re out of time for this kind of crap. If people cannot see the establishment rigging all this;with it in our faces, there is no chance to educate people then, I have a hard time wrapping my head around this self destruction. Always voting against the best interest of, themselves.
Clinton is a lock for President
Whatever.
For Hillary $2500 per plate fundraisers are taking precedent over keeping her commitment to Good Morning America’s town hall. Plus the people of NY would tear her up on not releasing the Wall Street speech transcripts and much more. She knows the less she has to answer for the better. Its one of the main reasons she fought for weeks against doing the NY debate.
She’s running: the electorate is starting to find out more – her performance as usual was beige & low on actual policy implementation & albeit as a defence hitching her britches with Obama.. Cause he’s still popular..
No one watches GMA, the entire ABC morning lineup is literally a bunch of rich people pissing in the wind.
every time she opens her mouth lies come out. The people are starting to find out she is full of it. so better shut up and let the already bought DNC cronies handle your election. (she is after all running a very lazy campaign)
She headed off to the Bay area and Hollywood for big-donor fundraisers and “bundled donor” $35,000-per-couple events.
Meanwhile at the Vatican, Bernie Sanders is speaking regarding economic inequality and aid to the poor.
America needs Bernie.
Both Hillary and Ted Cruz force me to switch channels as soon as they start talking…can’t stand either of them…
Clinton is the Democratic version of Ted Cruz: a shrewd lying politician who will do anything to get elected as President.
If you truly believe in the things Democrats believe in, vote Bernie. He believes what he says and says what he believes. Hillary only believes in her$1bn Clinton Foundation
