Yeah, it wasn't just his aide who didn't want to talk about Paris. Not Presidential at all. Cha Nov 2015 #3

Hillary came across as in total control and her comment about the president also being the commander in chief resonated with me. We need a firm, sane hand to lead this country and if anyone has any thought of her not being exactly that then they were watching a different debate.

Now Bernie looked like he was irritated he had to talk about anything other than economic ideas. He came across as anything but a commander in chief.

With attacks and challenges coming from either side (and the moderator too). The whole thing was about her really. To me this debate was a little like the Benghazi hearing. Her attitude throughout was, "No, you aren't going to take me down with that crap." I generally like O'Malley but his "weak tea" accusation was really lame.

Although Hillary could take it, I was surprised that the moderator allowed BS and MM to attack Hillary without being questioned more about their own positions. The 911 comment may have been the result of her taking a lot of one-two punches and being quite frustrated that the others could simply repeat their stump speeches without being challenged. If challenges like she's been, I could see BS's and MM's heads spinning while they babble on.

A more appropriate fit for the two on the end.
