Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton Terrifies Republicans With A Presidential Performance At CNN Town Hall [View all]
Despite the hyperbolic headline, I believe that the article is essentially correct.
Republicans should be very afraid because Hillary Clinton delivered nothing less than a presidential performance at the CNN Democratic Town Hall.

Former Sec. Clinton was asked how voters can be sure that income inequality will be a top priority for her. She talked about her decades of fighting for equality in all areas. She said, I have a really long history of taking on all inequality. One thing that is becoming clear is a lot of younger voters might not be familiar with Clinton and her record.
Her next question was a foreign policy question that asked where she stood on a scale from 1-10 on military intervention. She said that she thinks it is imperative to avoid military action, which should only be used as a last resort, not a first choice. Clinton repeated her promise of no American ground forces in Syria and Iraq. Speaking of Iraq, Clinton said that he has more of record of judgement than one vote on the war in Iraq. She repeated for roughly the billionth time that her vote for the Iraq war was a mistake.
...
Clinton was played Bernie Sanders America ad. She responded that she loved it. Clinton said that you in campaign poetry and govern in prose. She said we need more poetry like the Sanders ad.
Former Sec. Clinton was asked which former president inspired her most, and she answered Abraham Lincoln.
Hillary Clintons performance at the CNN Town Hall was nothing less than presidential level. Clinton was intelligent, passionate, and it was clear that there is not another candidate in this race that possesses her level of knowledge.

As with the debates, this town hall showed that the real losers are GOPers.

Alleged "enthusiasm" is NOT a substitute for know-how & I think this will be eventually be borne out
