Chafee Slyly Attacks Hillary Clinton

In his opening argument, Lincoln Chafee successfully established his own ethos while tearing down that of Hillary Clinton. Chafee emphasized the fact that he stands on moral high ground, and has never been caught in a scandal during his years in office. This statement not only gives the audience a reason to trust him as a presidential candidate, but also highlights Clinton's recent debacle regarding her private emails. Chafee effectively set the stage for the rest of the debate in his opening argument.
