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