Vulnerable Democratic senator tries really hard in debate to avoid association with Obama

Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., was tripped up during a debate Tuesday night with her Republican midterm challenger, businessman Thom Tillis, when asked whether President Obama’s policies are on the ballot this fall.

The moment occurred after the debate moderator, ABC News’ George Stephanopolous, asked the following: “You know, of course, the Affordable Care Act, the heart of Obama’s legislative program. And Speaker Tillis mentioned the comments the president made last week, and [Obama] said, ‘His policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.’ Do you agree?”
