Eager to chime in after Monday night’s CNN Iowa Democratic presidential town hall, the cast assembled on CNN Tonight gushed over how it was “like a slam dunk contest” for the three candidates as Bernie Sanders “did a helluva job” while Hillary Clinton “knocked it completely out of the park,” and continued addressing critics who’ve disliked her since the 1990s because she’s “a figure of cultural change.”

Host Don Lemon admitted to the panel from the beginning that it was “very interesting” and told chief political analyst Gloria Borger that “Hillary Clinton showed up” to which Borger repeated that sentiment and hyped that Clinton, Sanders, and Martin O’Malley “had to stand up because they had so much energy.”
