You can see which questions got the most votes here. The promise is to consider the top 30.
The top ten are:
1) Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?
2) How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?
3) Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits?
4) As president, What are the steps you will take to address climate change?
5) Would you act to repeal citizens united?
6) Would you support term limits for members of Congress and the Supreme Court?
7) Social Security is not an entitlement or a handout, how are you going to save it?
8) How do you plan to make healthcare affordable for EVERYONE?
9) If you deport my parents, what happens to me?
10) What is your plan to combat climate change & build a green economy?0 -

In Trump world I suppose this is what the role of a wife actually is. We are, however, in the real world.
What is the supposed intimidation? I'd seen about HRC thanking her at some event 'for all you've done' but that can't be it (I mean, what else do you say to supporters at an event?)

The line that Broaddrick recanted the allegations seems to be completely false. It's the other way round. She initially denied the allegation (despite having told friends contempraneously about it) and only confirmed it when she was forced to testify.0

The last thing Corbyn wants is a semi-competent front bencher which makes his position as leader look even more ridiculous. Abbott, Gardiner, Thornberry, etc, are a perfect foil for Corbyn. Benn, Starmer, etc , are not. The public will be once again thinking 'hhmm, how come HE'S not the leader?' Corbyn will not stand for it.0

I assume it will be a young lady asking the question.
You can see which questions got the most votes here. The promise is to consider the top 30.
The top ten are:
1) Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?
2) How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?
3) Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits?
4) As president, What are the steps you will take to address climate change?
5) Would you act to repeal citizens united?
6) Would you support term limits for members of Congress and the Supreme Court?
7) Social Security is not an entitlement or a handout, how are you going to save it?
8) How do you plan to make healthcare affordable for EVERYONE?
9) If you deport my parents, what happens to me?
10) What is your plan to combat climate change & build a green economy?
For 3, yeah that could simply be 'would you expand or cut social security', and merged with 7.0 -

Well, I think Trump is going to have to be very careful with his angles. It's difficult to get away from the fact that his attack on Clinton arises out of her husband being unfaithful to her, and given the position he's currently in, such an action might seem rather unchivalrous (though admittedly not as unchivalrous as groping a woman's vagina).Alistair said:
The angle is that Hilary intimidated her into silence.

I don't understand why Trump thinks that going after Bill Clinton helps him. Other than those who hate her already for whatever reason it just creates sympathy for Hillary and reminds people what a sexually aggressive man as President might get up to.619 said:

Yeah and Labour is going to win a landslide based in his increased "mandate". Trouble for Trump tonight is he is now seen as a joke.

The high-performance Atlas computer was developed in the period 1956 – 1962 by a team led by Professor Tom Kilburn at the University of Manchester. The local company Ferranti Ltd. joined the project in 1959. The first production Atlas was inaugurated at Manchester University on 7th December 1962 by Sir John Cockcroft, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who was Director of the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority. At the time of its inauguration, Atlas was reckoned to be the world’s most powerful computer. A total of six Atlas 1 and Atlas 2 computers were delivered between 1962 and 1966.HurstLlama said:

Yeah and Labour is going to win a landslide based in his increased "mandate". Trouble for Trump tonight is he is now seen as a joke.

We used to use Awk to translate said dumps into a format that could be read by a search engine provided by a Scottish company which provided full boolean (including wildcard)search capability on any and every field. I did the first translation of the Police National Computer vehicle index into a fully searchable database. If memory serves it took about eighty cigarettes, a bottle of scotch and two kebabs to get the whole job done over one Friday night.

FYI, some feedback from a HRC fundraising my wife attended:
"It was clear that, while HC has a lot of support, not all of them are enthusiastic about her.
What was worrisome was that with 32 days to go (from that eve), the questions people were asking were very much along the lines of campaign strategy: How to appeal to the millenials, how to reach out to the white working class, how to reach the college students, etc. These were justified questions, but questions to which the answers should be clear much earlier in the campaign, I would have thought. If those who have been hanging on HC's every word are still unclear on this, wow, what this must mean to those voter groups she still wants to reach.
A lot of the mantra and discourse of the evening was around gender and the "importance of a woman as President". While it was interesting and there were real HC lovers there in the majority, it felt very much like hard-core Democrats who would have been there no matter who the candidate."0 -
