Clinton Misses Chance to Erase Michigan Loss in Immigration-Heavy Debate

"Coming off a huge upset in Michigan, Bernie Sanders turned in a strong performance in a debate with the former secretary of state in Miami, Florida.

Hillary Clinton had a shot in Wednesday's Democratic debate at retooling her message to white working-class voters a day after they largely rejected her in Michigan, and just in time for a fresh set of primaries March 15.

But she found little traction to steer the conversation back to jobs and the economy under aggressive questioning from debate moderators. And in that way, the event was a lost opportunity ahead of contests in states very much like Michigan, including Ohio and Missouri."

We simply can't have her as our nominee. It is far too big a risk.

near the end of the debate. Right after his closing speech? Yep, I believe she blew it. We'll know after Florida votes.

It was a bit creepy.

I thought this was her worst debate, thus far.

She was so scripted. And she droned on and on.

I've never heard someone talk so much and say absolutely nothing.

if she tells the lies enough, people will give in an stop listening after the first few seconds and just say, "well she keeps saying it, and she tells the story the same way every time so it must be true. If not that, I have no reason why she is doing it. Any person with a thimble full of information knows the majority of what she is saying is half truths and out and out lies.
