I think that candidates that truely answer a question are the real candidates that deserve to be noticed. Hillary runs arround this question as she does with most answers. But I thought that the cadidates that actually answered and even made a joke of the question are the people that can be real and are the people that will make a president that can do something positive for this country.
Indeed, Hillary avoided the question like always. Truth is she hates the fact that Obama is giving her a run for her money...
I think that was a valid question; a good question. It strays away from their "political agenda" and challenges the candidates to reveal their character. It demonstrates the fact that although they may not agree with the other candidates views they can still find the positive in them.
I just finished watching CNN's 2-hour debate and am unimpressed. I am curious as to why questions about our trade deficit, illegal immigration, national security, etc., WEREN'T asked, but there was time for ' videos that summed up the candidates' and the hard-hitting questions like, 'Tell me one thing you like and dislike about the candidate to your left.' Clearly the person(s) responsible for selecting the debate questions had an agenda. I find it hard to believe that no one in America submitted thoughtful questions on any of those issues.
I agree w/ you Christy. What a waste. I also think ALL the candidates should have answered each question. I think youtube was running the debate. It sounded more like an infomercial.
Your dead on Christy. CNN must have some stupid people working for them. This last question was a JOKE. WE want to know what the issues are, I don't care about what one candidate thinks of the other. And I thought CNN was FAIR and Balanced. What the hell happened to Mike Gravel. Anderson Cooper totally ignored him all night. What a waste of having a debate. Mike Gravel was the only one trying to spark any type of meaningful DEBATE.
Like Coy commented above, so many of the candidates failed to actually answer the question. Clinton seemed to be the worst offender; I don't think she actually provided a clear answer for this or any of the questions she was asked. If a candidate can't follow the simple instructions stated in a question like this, how can we trust them to handle the infinitely more difficult issues facing this country?
