"Hillary Clinton went presidential. At Stanford University just an hour ago [on Wed, 3/23], a seated audience was waiting for Clinton to appear, behind her were large American flags. When she did speak it was in measured firm tones.  She sounded quietly and reassuringly in control, and she sounded and acted presidential. She made Trump and Cruz look like mere boys, not with small hands, but with small minds. She bested her performance in front of the Benghazi committee.

"She presented a three-step plan to prevent another Brussels. The speech was amazing for its detailed explication of the complexities involved, and yet at the same time the speech was easy to understand and convincing. She pulled the carpet out from underneath both Trump and Cruz’s thoughtless and incendiary anti-Muslim rhetoric. She reminded Trump that a mere wall could not stop the internet and excoriated Cruz for his plan to police Muslim communities in the U.S.

"Clinton would do well to repeat and repeat this kind of presentation. It suits her very well."
