7. Politics 101 - pivot to the question you want instead of the one you get

1. This is Seth Meyers show, not Meet the Press. An in depth answer would not have played well in this format.

2. She's asked a question that will inevitably lead to a conversation about which Democrat failed. Either the candidates were right to turn away from the President's "failed" policies, or they "failed" to support and clarify the President's successes. Either way, you'll end up talking about Dems failing. Is that what we want?

She answered like a pro - highlighting a policy that could have been campaign gold (the ACA), and then pivoting to talk about REPUBLICAN failures. She did exactly what she should have done.

Scary how quickly she learns, right?
