5 Points On How Hillary Clinton Changed Her Whole Approach In Thursday's Debate (TPM)

Going mano a mano against Bernie Sanders -- and days after they essentially tied in Iowa -- Hillary Clinton’s performance at Thursday’s MSNBC debate reflected someone who no longer thought her nomination was inevitable. Her attacks were sharper, she responded to his criticisms more directly and she pushed new arguments that she had been holding back so far in the campaign.

Here are five things that changed during Thursday’s debate.

I love being a Democrat. We are the party of the people. At the end of the day it is permanent accomplishment that matters. Executive Orders end at the end of a term. Let's play to win now and Bernie enthusiasts at the mid-term.

being the first woman to win the Iowa caucuses. You can bet your bottom dollar if BS had gotten more there would be yelling from the rooftops that he won. But, he didn't and after all the garbage he and his supporters, the GOP, and the M$M threw at Hillary; it was she who came out on Top.

And, she won many more Dems, Union Members and POC.. that cannot be discounted. berni doesn't get to horn in on that.

The state was tailor made for his demographics and he failed to close the deal. that's my take.

Now for the interesting article!

"Enough is enough. If you've got something to say, say it directly,” she challenged.

Wow.. you go Girl!

“Senator Sanders is the only person who would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment," she said. “It’s really quite amusing to me.”

She got him! bern needs to get a new buzz word.. he's already worn that out. Not sure he knows from establishment.

Thank you, DejaVu

I don't think for a minute that Hillary EVER "thought her nomination was inevitable". She hasn't taken anything for granted.

I hope to hear her say more on being ready to lead, especially in foreign policy.
She exhibits leadership, he doesn't. K & R
