http://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/14/hillary-clinton-delivers-commander-chief-level-performance-msnbc-town-hall.htmlHillary Clinton delivered a rock solid performance at an MSNBC town hall from Illinois where she looked like a candidate who would be ready to be Commander in Chief on day one.
Clinton was talking about Trump when she said the best form of protest against the Republican frontrunner is to vote against him. The former Sec. of State also called on the American people to organize against Trump.
Chris Matthews played clips of Robert F. Kennedy and Trump back to back and asked Clinton to compare them. Clinton compared RFKs language to calm people down to Trumps demagoguery. Clinton also called out Trumps birtherism. She called Trump more than wrong and offensive. Clinton called Trump dangerous.
...
Clinton admitted that she no longer trusts the polls because polling has become difficult. She said that the polling is going to have to get better because people rely on the information. Clinton was asked about Michigan. She said that she is building a broad, inclusive coalition, which shows in the fact that she has gotten more votes than any other candidate.
On trade, Clinton said that she is not the same as Bernie Sanders because she knows that the United States has to trade with the rest of the world. Chris Matthews asked Clinton if she was a hawk. She answered no that she is a smart power advocate.

as I watched tonight. She beats everyone else hands down in basic knowledge of both domestic policy and global matters.

his bluster and egotism vs. her calm intelligence.
