Clinton May Have To Apologize For Using 9/11 To Justify — Bloomberg’s Halperin

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks as her husband and former President Bill Clinton looks on during the Central Iowa Democrats’ fall barbecue November 15, 2015 at Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

“Well, I’m sorry that whoever tweeted that had that impression because I worked closely with New Yorkers after 9/11 for my entire first term to rebuild”, Clinton said. “So I think she has clearly maintained the independence of her positions”. Let’s be frank here…You know, not only do I have hundreds of thousands of donors, a lot of them small.

He had criticized her ties to Wall Street at the debate, but said Sunday simply that they had a “real area of disagreement” over how to regulate the industry.

Compared to the Republican debate, this one had more structure and flow. So I – I represented NY.

The NY Times editorial board late Sunday accused Hillary Clinton of dodging a question on whether Wall Street money would influence her policy decisions as president, and for offering the “cynical” response that those donations poured in because she represented NY during 9/11.

“When we were attacked, where were we attacked?” “We were attacked in downtown Manhattan, where Wall Street is….I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. She was hit today by The NY Times editorial board”, explained Halperin. It was good for the economy. And it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country. “We need to get a consensus through this campaign, which is why I’m talking about it everywhere I go, and we need to join the rest of the advanced world in having it”.

But despite that, the number who tuned in was sharply down on the almost 16 million people who watched the first Democratic debate of the 2016 presidential campaign on October 13 on CNN.

Clinton and her aides have used that admission to knock the independent Vermont senator. When she dropped that line, Parisians were still hosing blood off the sidewalks, sweeping up the broken glass and trying to identify the dead.

“But no, that wasn’t the ideology that governed that administration and we were attacked on 9/11 – a searing, terrible experience for our country – and then two wars”. She wasted no time getting to the point.

“Our polls and theirs were the only scientific polls done on the debate that I’m aware of and were in agreement that it was a big win for Secretary Clinton”, Jensen wrote. Clinton set herself apart with razor-thin differences. “That would be like saying we weren’t at war with Nazis because we were afraid to offend a few Germans who may have been members of the Nazi Party but weren’t violent themselves”. Bush’s proposals, including a no-fly zone over Syria and better arms for Kurdish fighters, outclass those of Carson or Trump but aren’t as convincing as Marco Rubio’s 14-point “Stand against ISIS”.

That she would pivot a question about her questionable campaign financing into a self-serving harangue about 9/11, one day after the Paris catastrophe, is an act of verbal violence beyond moral fix. “So, yes, I did know people”.
