Bernie Sanders didn't get the most favorable review from the kids, although at least one thought he bore a striking resemblance to her grandfather. Some members of the group were excited that Clinton could end a long streak of exclusively male presidents, but they were also concerned about what her husband would be called if she did become Commander-in-Chief.
When it was Trump's time to be judged by the young critics, there was an instant uproar. In the midst of a takedown of his general appearance was an argument about exactly which minorities he isn't a fan of.
If there's one lesson we can take away from these kids, it's this: Cookies make even the most frustrating debates more watchable.
