Kudos to HRC for not putting down single payer last night when baited by Trump

Anyone else pick up on how she responded when Trump tried to pin single-payer on her like a badge of dishonor (OMG, she wants to turn us into that third-world hellhole, Canada!)? Instead of disputing his lie and declaring herself against it, she instead shut down his attack by tying the concept of single payer with Medicare. Very smart, I thought!

Although officially it is not her position, the public option would essentially get us there.
