"Angry" moments in debates - Hillary versus Ronald Reagan

For all of you who are criticizing Hillary for her forceful response in tonight's debate, I want you to look at this clip of Ronald Reagan. I'm sure that most of you have seen it - it's been shown many times in the media throughout the years. It's almost always talked about as a positive moment for Reagan in the debates.

Now, compare his outburst - which wasn't exactly substantive - to Hillary's response in tonight's debate. Please tell me why Hillary's response is seen by some as "bickering and angry" and why Reagan's outburst was seen by many as "strong" and "admirable".

Ironically, Reagan's "moment" was also at a New Hampshire debate.
