She initially defended the program as a good idea without saying that she supported it. She then fell back to the tried and true 'blame Bush' argument for failing to pass 'immigration reform'. When that did not work, all of the other candidates took her to task for being dishonest and manipulative. Dodd, Obama, Edwards, and even the moderators were trying to figure out what she said. At the end of the exchange, most of the candidates used it as an example of why nobody should consider voting for Hillary.
Most of the debate she spent dodging questions and figuring out how to sound statesmanlike. But for the most part, she came across as a pandering candidate only interested in telling people what they wanted to hear. She tried very hard not to say anything bad. But most people including the author of this article seem to believe that she failed miserably in this debate. Enjoy the article.
