"No"

Chafee said that he believed the next president should have the highest ethical standards, clearly alluding to himself. Chafee was also pointing a finger at Hillary and the scandal surrounding her emails. Anderson Cooper then asked if she wished to respond and she said in a resounding tone, "No." This refusal to respond seemed to resonate with the audience. Her response was so effective because it gave her a sense of confidence that was able to be felt on stage.

  1. This moment was also a very striking moment for me. However, I think the biggest moment in the debate was what happened right before this: the fact that Bernie Sanders agreed with his opponent in order to redefine politics.

  2. I was also very surprised by Hilary's short and assertive response. It seemed to create awkward tension in the room.
