For many viewers, last night’s town hall was the final chance to see the Democratic candidates on a big stage—at least until the Iowa caucuses. Whether pushing for Muslim inclusivity, demanding equal rights for all, or standing up to negative takedowns, Hillary stole the spotlight with dignity, warmth, and confidence. Hillary no doubt won over undecided voters and reminded everyone why she’d make the best president.
And we’re not the only ones to think so. Check out the praise on Twitter:
#Hillary had a really good night. She laid off attacks on #Bernie while stressing her key argument that she was more plausible president.
