      She baited Donald alot, but the other half of the time like this comment, she was speaking to the voters. She doesn’t need to spend minutes explaining why she won’t ban guns when she can just casually mention owning one in a few seconds. She gave a master class on messaging to many, many distinctive groups of the voters, sometimes to try to win votes, sometimes to deflate enthusiasm of opponents by undermining lies and distortions about her or dem positions.

        She really did do some masterful needle-threading that night. Despite my issues with some of her policies (yes, I’m still voting for her), that was just some masterful politicking that I couldn’t help but be very impressed by.
