WaPo’s Cillizza: Clinton ‘Struggled’ Defending Obama’s Foreign Policy in Debate

Cillizza: Clinton Defending Obama’s Foreign Policy, But She Needs to Differentiate Herself (The Washington Free Beacon)

Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton sounded like she was defending Obama’s foreign policy in the Democratic debate Saturday, despite her need to differentiate herself from the president.

Cillizza said she “struggled” during the foreign policy-focused opening of the debate and demonstrated acceptance of the Obama administration’s policies.

“I think she struggled a little bit in the first 30 minutes or so of the debate,” in that she sounded like a “a defender of the status quo of President Obama, essentially saying, ‘Well, we did what we could. I agree with the president,’” he said.
