Hillary Clinton roars, Bernie Sanders stumbles on guns, and more

[RandySF]

Check out five opinions trending online, from the NRA’s fact-checking unit to the “Cadillac tax.”

Clinton roars: Hillary Clinton deftly threaded the needle on policy positions during Tuesday night’s CNN debate, writes New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, dubbing her a “seamstress.” And Bernie Sanders made her seem like a young comer with little to lose.

“For much of the debate, Sanders somehow came across as the embattled incumbent, targeted by the other four candidates, while Clinton came across as the energetic upstart. He seemed bowed, irascible. She seemed buoyant, effervescent. It was as poised a performance as she’s finessed in a long time, and while I’ve just about given up making predictions about this confounding election — I never thought Donald Trump would last so long, and I never saw Ben Carson coming — I think Clinton benefited more from Tuesday’s stage than Sanders did. She mixed confidence and moments of passion with instances of humor, and her manner was less didactic and robotic than it can often be.”

2. more hyperbole

No mention of "cut it out"? The Iranians?

They just lose credibility with this nonsense. She did well but this is ridiculous.

3. This much is clear - people see what they want to see

They both did really well in the debate. Seems the fighting over who "won" is more emotional reaction and mental filtering on the part of both candidate's supporters.

4. Who would've thought Hillary

would be the young whippersnapper at 67? Who was it that was saying she was too old a while back?

5. Bermie just stumps. Clinton talked about more specific

policy proposals.

Hating billionaires is not a policy proposal. It's no wonder she is considered the winner amongst real Dems.

Let's hope Sanders steps it up and quits just stumping and offers some insight on issues instead of just variations of his vanity speeches.

6. Reads like a review of a Broadway opening..

If she doesn't get the nomination, maybe she'll be a favorite for the Tony.

7. The media should try to make their fiction more believable
