HILLARY CLINTON GOES FULL KHALEESI, SETS THE CNN DEBATE STAGE ON FIRE

Like Daenerys Targaryen, the warrior queen of Game of Thrones,  Hillary Clinton moved in on her opponents Tuesday night, reminding them one by one why she will ultimately rule. All this Khaleesi was missing, it seemed, was her three hungry dragons.

So here’s the question: was Clinton that good in the CNN debate, or were her opponents just that awful?

She certainly benefited from the comparison. Where Clinton was polished and prepared, the others all came off as comparatively amateurish. As they gave their answers, she stared through them as they avoided her gaze. She threw punches when she thought it was necessary. They, more or less, avoided every opportunity to punch back. She came across as strong. They all looked weak.

Clinton knew when to look in the camera, and when to look at her opponents. And it looked like she was loving every moment of devouring her rivals.

This is what you would get if Paris Hilton was in charge of CNN.

Clinton was trying to put out a dumpster fire. I did not see the mother of dragons, or even the mother of kittens.
