Hillary is tough and smart tonight

[bigtree]

Hillary:

"I love Brooklyn!"

(my birth borough )

[woolldog]

1. Definitely brought out her A game tonite

[morningfog]

2. Man she dodged and danced all over her Goldman Sachs transcripts.

No good answer there. Look like a caught animal.

[woolldog]

4. Such a stupid nonissue. nt

[morningfog]

6. Except it isn't.

[PatrickforO]

10. No, I'd like to read those transcripts.

[laruemtt]

3. Brooklyn - my birth borough,

and she doesn't belong.

[bigtree]

11. lol

...glued to the fireworks.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Yeah, great line there.

I love Brooklyn.

Really deep.

[apcalc]

7. Very smart

Never afraid. I like that.

[Chasstev365]

8. Someone who constantly interrupted does not get an A

She is rude and always talks through Bernie and the moderators.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Gash Gallop

that is what she is doing

[PatrickforO]

9. You don't think she's being a bit disingenuous about the minimum wage? Because she

supported $12/hr nationally, but just now says she was for $15 all along. Then she yelled over Sanders when he tried to refute that point.

I guess you and I are maybe seeing her differently...which is OK.

[bigtree]

12. she's scrambling on shaky ground there

...I think Sanders is in a stronger position for making that happen with an unequivocal call for $15.

[Lucinda]

13. That has been her position all along. 12 federal, 15 where the economy can handle it. n/t

[bigtree]

16. I agree, that's been her position

...i don't agree that it's the same as an unequivocal call for $15.

What I will say is that there's going to be a progression in any plan to raise the wage which will likely begin somewhere north or south of $12.

I don't agree with the politics, though, of our presidential nominee accepting a lesser proposal, especially since neither actually has a chance in this republican Congress, much less the Senate.

[PatrickforO]

17. He was also brilliant about the Palestinian question. Not so much on guns though.

But you know, as fervent a Bernie supporter as I am, I've got to admit that BOTH of our candidates are an order of magnitude better than Lyin' Ted or Fascist Trump. Not to mention 'Says he's moderate but he's really not' Kasich.

Now, I do not think Clinton is as far left as she is by choice, and in that sense Bernie's campaign has been a very good thing for all of us. He can still win, but if Clinton is the nominee, we have a hell of a lot better chance of keeping her honest (left of center) than we do ANY of the Republicans.

Bernie? Well, he'll be Bernie and if he wins I will be one of the millions who exert pressure on Congress to do things our way instead of catering to the MIC and Wall Street.

[bigtree]

18. I agree with Sanders on Palestinians

...but I think Clinton is on solid ground in her priorities.

There isn't enough of a recognizable and dependable government in Gaza or elsewhere which the US can rely on as accountable or responsible to our ally, Israel's security. As long as Hamas is ingratiated into Palestinian politics, there will resistance to support for an independent Palestine state, which both agree is our goal.

With issues of Israel and guns, he was speaking to his prospects in NY, where he seemed to be speaking to a campaign which is fast slipping away from him. On guns and Israel, Hillary was brilliant for a NY campaign; Bernie's positions on those issues were critically confrontational there and likely worked against him.

15. She's killing it!

Debating is her strong suit and she's brought her A-game to the party. Sorry, Bernie. You're no match here.

[anotherproletariat]

19. She's always done well in these high pressure situations. One of the reasons I think she will make

a great president.
