Why Clinton’s debate success could come back to hurt her in the end - The Washington Post

Why Clinton’s debate success could come back to hurt her in the end - The Washington Post:
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that becoming the nation's first female president would be "quite a change." She was asked how her presidency would differ from President Obama's. (CNN)
 

If Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the Democratic presidential nomination, her Republican opponents will not let her off so easy.On Tuesday night in Las Vegas, Clinton faced a set of Democratic rivals who seemed to lack the skill — or the will — to challenge her about her record on foreign policy, her changes­ in position, her handling of government data on a private e-mail server, or her claim to be an “outsider” after two decades in national politics.When the former secretary of state praised Libya — now a cauldron of chaos and Islamist militias — as “smart power at its best,” nobody scoffed. When she was challenged about her e-mail practices, a controversy that has concerned many voters, top rival Bernie Sanders actually stepped in to dismiss the question. Americans are “tired of hearing about” it, he said.
