A 24-Year-Old Bernie Fan Debated Bill Clinton for 30 Minutes — And Made a Good Point
https://mic.com/articles/144508/a-24-year-old-bernie-fan-debated-bill-clinton-for-30-minutes-and-made-a-good-point#.f4vlRqn8xBill Clinton is a double-edged sword as a campaign surrogate.
On the one hand, he and his presidency are viewed so positively that his efforts on behalf of candidates often provide them with a positive boost. On the other hand, he has a way of drawing attention to himself — especially when defending of his own legacy — in a manner that can jeopardize the mission of helping the candidate he's rallying for.
His spontaneous 30-minute debate Wednesday with a 24-year-old Bernie Sanders supporter at a restaurant in New Mexico probably falls into the second bucket.
