She wasn't though. He had a better hand until the river card was turned over. Unless you mean if she could see not only his private cards, but also the turn and the river. But that would require collusion with the house.

No he didn't have a better hand. He may have had better odds to get the cards he needed to win, but he never had a better hand.
Pre flop:
  he had 87s
she had j4o
She's ahead. J high beats 8 high.
Odds might be in his favor but if the board doesn't improve for him, she wins.

Flop is 10 10 9 with 2 clubs
She still has the winning hand (her J high beats the 8 high he's holding)
he has a great chance to come out ahead if he hits his club or straight draw. the odds are good for him with 2 cards left , but again right now she still has the winning hand if he doesn't find a club or straight

Turn is a 3 of hearts (10 10 9 3)
Her J high is still winning vs his 8 high at the moment
at this point the percentages are still in his favor with card left since any club, J,7, or 6 can give him the winning hand(straight or flush) but at the moment she is still ahead with J high vs 8 high since they're both playing the board

River is is A of spades (10 10 9 3 A)
now its official that if he can't get this bluff through her cards of 10 10 9 A and J from her hand beats the
10 10 9 A 8 of his.

He had better odds till the river but he never had a better hand than her. It was always his 8 vs her J.

Because she was able to see each street before deciding to bet or call, she only had to know his hand to make the right decision on each street.

That makes no sense.

If she could see his hand, she absolutely calls because she's winning on every street.

Clarifying that she would be able to call pre, flop, turn, and river because she could see she's ahead every step. It would be a different story if he went all in pre flop, she called, and the run out went how it did.

Did you read the tweet thread you linked to?
The guy replied to his own thread with:

And AlxThomp's tweet said:

Fwiw: I asked Twitter about this and a spox said that CNN and Amazon had an advertising partnership on Twitter around the democratic debate....This was a prearranged ad deal before the debate and CNN had complete editorial control over the content

While you might have issues with Amazon, this is the work of CNN, not Amazon.

so they adjust their prices to compensate).

If they've already adjusted their prices to account for this, then there isn't an incentive to pay with cash since you're paying the same price whether you're paying with cash or card (yes, there are a few places that charge less for cash, but they are far and few between).

Personally, I would rather have a person who has run several large non-profits over a business mogul as President, because they know how to make an organization run on limited funds and making do with what they have.

I would think you'd want someone who has ran several small to medium size non-profits then because the large non profits (Gates Foundation as one example) operates on a fairly large budget and has very little chance of ever running out of money. One of the perks of being large.
