CNN‘s Anderson Cooper chose Hillary Clinton as the first target of tonight’s first Democratic debate.
“We’re going to be discussing a lot of the issues, many of the important issues that you have brought up,” said Cooper. “I want to begin with concerns that voters have about each of the candidates here on the stage that they have about each of you. Secretary Clinton, I’ll start with you. Some Democrats believe you changed your positions based on political expediency. You were against same-sex marriage, now you’re for it. You defended President Obama’s immigration policies, now you say they’re too harsh. You supported his trade deal dozens of times, you even called it the gold standard… Now, suddenly last week you’re against it. Will you say anything to get elected?”
