Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI think Hillary kicked ass tonight (HILLARY GROUP)!
I absolutely loved it when she said we need to embrace Muslim-Americans rather than alienate them (as Trump would do).
There were three fine candidates on that stage tonight and they all did well.
But Hillary has my vote. Her experience and her knowledge of world affairs just shines.
Madam President 2016! Right on!

MADem
(135,425 posts)We know your team swarms the online polls--big whoop!
She was refreshed, and assertive but attentive, sharp and cordial at the same time. Very professional. And she came out with a lot of fresh stuff. I hate it when debaters rattle on, bloviating and using the same old buzzwords.

(91,960 posts)In fairness I thought they all did fine though.

(4,309 posts)But I think Hillary did a remarkable job with some tough questions.

(3,580 posts)What a contrast to the whiney baby debate from the GOP. Hillary killed it. I admire her so much.

(4,309 posts)I think she sealed it tonight.

He did not fare well tonight. This was Hillary's night!

(135,425 posts)But after the third time he dragged it out, it was like "Huh? Come on--say something different for a change....that CAN'T be the answer to every question you're having trouble answering."
Sanders gave his ardent fans a bit of bluster and "big banks money campaign finance ya ya ya" but he was repetitive. He didn't grow his base with his performance, but he probably didn't lose any of those diehards, either.
I do think Clinton helped herself greatly with her superb grasp of policy issues--and she was lightning quick on the draw, too--no hesitation.
The Flint finish was genius.
gwheezie
(3,580 posts)But he was all over the place, shouted most if the time, sounded like he lost his point a few times, veered off to his regular talking points. His foriegn policy answers were very vague and highlighted his lack of experience and knowledge of the mid east issues. It's all well and good he wants Saudi Arabia to team up with Iran but he entirely misses the point this has all been a proxie war between Iran and Saudi Arabia all along. Very naive.

(4,309 posts)That is fine with me because I have LOVED the Obama Presidency and I want PROGRESS to continue!

(3,580 posts)I've said this before the next president is going to have a big space to fill. Glad that Hillary wants to build on it.
Kath1
(4,309 posts)Hillary has been a part of his administration and she wants to move forward with it.
I think she looked very Presidential tonight. Cool, calm and in complete control of all the issues.
Cha
(295,912 posts)President Obama has accomplished all these years.. in spite of all the Obstruction!
I have so much loved his administration and I hate to see it end.
But there is hope with Hillary. I am very confident that she will continue an Obama-style Progressive agenda.
Cha
(295,912 posts)wings such as Hillary!

(4,309 posts)Good things ahead. I can feel it.
Hope you don't mind but I just had to use this on my Hillary Facebook page tonight.

(54,770 posts)convinced Sanders can not win the General Election. I like Sanders passion a lot, but we need more than passion - - an experienced, pragmatic person in the White House who can get things done. Sanders would be another McGovern or Dukakis, I'm afraid.

(41,921 posts)I honestly thought Sanders was floundering, although he looked great--except for the booger thing, but that can happen to anybody.
All three looked polished and ready, but as usual Hillary shone, and I agree with other mentioning Flint was a big A+
