Why are there no people at Secretary Clinton's town hall at the Apollo?

I honestly am asking because I thought it would be a town hall?

On edit: Please don't think I'm mocking Secretary Clinton. It's just the Trump and Kasich segments were actual town halls. I was hoping for the same with Secretary Clinton.

...the optics of that aren't favorable for Secretary Clinton (who I admire - ON EDIT: and will certainly vote for in the GE).

I'm glad! Besides, Rachel is a much better person to ask questions.

But why is it in an empty theater rather than a studio? I'm confused too.

Jimmy Carter? One of my favorite and most under-appreciated presidents.

I just posted below that I'm currently listening to his latest, A Full Life, was given the audio book (read by the author) for my birthday. He certainly has led a full life and I recommend it highly. And I think I've had Jimmy Carter as my avatar since we've had them on DU.

I'm currently listening to the audio book, A Full Life, read by the author himself, and learning so much I never knew. From his childhood on the farm in rural Georgia, to his Navy career, to his first runs for office, it's absolutely fascinating! I think I'm on disc #5 and he was just elected president! He certainly has led a full life and the longest part was post presidency! He was always moving forward, still is, and I recommend it highly!

after the rally they brought Rachel in to set-up. It allows the candidate to stay in one place.

Maddow got a couple of short interviews with Hillary that they put on tape and it was billed as an hour with Hillary to try to pull some ratings. I suspect the Bernie hour will be the same thing. If there was any real news from it we would already have seen it as with the Tweety-Trump thing on abortion that was all over TV and the internet hours before MSNBC aired the taped event.
