The Town Hall Forum on CNN enabled each Democratic Candidate to have equal time to put forth their platform.
Bernie, the first of the three Democrats to speak, began by sounding absolutely presidential, impressing several Hillary fans to switch to his camp. Martin O'Malley, although struggling in the polls, still sounded like an amazingly sane alternative to those on the radical right side of the aisle.
Lastly, Hillary Clinton spoke, and she managed to comfort those who had any doubts she would be a well-qualified Commander in Chief. She also gave a few anecdotes as to where her 'dishonest' reputation originated: her time as First Lady when she wholly dedicated herself to the idea of Universal Healthcare. It's been a battle ever since.
At one point during her Q & A time, she was asked by a Muslim woman, wearing a hijab, who served in the U.S. Military.
(Sadly, we don't have to wonder how she would be treated at a Trump rally.)

(3,133 posts)They just used this event to get Sanders out as a tax and spend liberal. That is all the talking points today. So Hillary will do the things she says without raising taxes?
Such utter bullshit.
