Hillary consistently refuses to choose a single issue that she will push from day one. She does not see a rationale for, nor accept the necessity for, a single-issue agenda. She will have an ambitious agenda.
She said that, if elected, she will commission a top to bottom review of government agencies and departments - something like her QDDR at the State Department on a larger scale. I knew it! When she did the QDDR at State I said she would have done that in every department as POTUS.
The moderators asked some excellent questions and were even-handed. Nice job.
For the readers among you, here is the transcript >>>>
.
For the record, Hillary does not own the transcripts of the speeches she was paid to deliver. The organizations that hired her own those transcripts. A precious few made them public, and that is why some transcripts were made available here, but the decision to release the Goldman Sachs transcripts is not hers to make. She does not own those texts. They do. When this becomes a media battle making Hillary look shady, please remember that. They were never her personal property.
Some highlights from Hillary's Twitter feed and my camera.

The president is also the commander in chief. Only one candidate has the experience, judgment, and plans to keep us safe. #DemDebate— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 5, 2016
The president doesn't get to choose what issues come to her desk. Navigating foreign policy challenges is part of the job. #DemDebate— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 5, 2016
