Clinton's buy informed Democrats how she would perform in the presidential "town hall" debates

[Proud2BAmurkin]

The worst format of any in my view but she's mastered it.

Another test passed with flying colors.

1. yeah but she wasnt shouting how much she loves jesus. nt

2. Yeah, I hate that format. *shudder*

Personally, I think she had an awkward start, but she got into things after 15 minutes or so. She's really at her best when talking policy while making it personal. Heavy on detail, but far from dry. Nice job.

3. It was immediate and fresh - very innovative.

Her presidency will be the same way.

BTW Every candidate from now on will imitate this.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. I agree that it will be imitated nt

[chascarrillo]

6. I don't find infomercials fresh nor innovative.

I hope people don't imitate this! Your mileage may vary.

That said, I do think that Clinton made the most of it. There were moments where she really shone.

5. I never understood the point of making them walk around in the middle of a bunch of people

They're not running for talk show host

Not saying it's substantively worse if the questions are good but the setup makes no sense. When does a president do that?

7. I love how the yanked the welcome mat away from her right on the hour mark!

Hilarious

8. She did great with it.

9. It's more of a visual platform than a debate and allows candidates to explain themselves in depth

Many people don't have internet connections to look up candidates policy explanations. This gives them a chance to explain themselves outside of the rally environment and away from the built in adversarialism of debates.

10. It's a LOT better than listening to a campaign speech.

I like the format. Some things could be improved, but overall I enjoyed it. Hillary did great.
