Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump is “becoming ISIS’s best recruiter”

Clinton and Sanders, her closest challenger, entered the debate in the midst of one of their fiercest fights – about the campaign itself rather than a national or worldwide issue.

She gave her rival, Vermont Sen. “She can beat Donald Trump. But she just made this up in thin air”.

“I believe we stand together to address the real issues facing this country, not allow them to divide us by race or where we come from”.

Clinton got a late start to the stage in the second half of the debate, which focused on the economy. Bernie Sanders seemed during the debate to bury the hatchet over the acquisition of Clinton campaign data by the Sanders campaign, which was able to gain access to the information because a glitch at the DNC. “Not only do I apologize, I want to apologize to my supporters”.

But such a policy would require “substantial” ground forces and would put the USA military at risk of a direct confrontation with Syrian regime and Russian forces, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said at a Senate hearing on December 9.

She particularly took aim at Donald Trump, whom Democrats hope to paint not as an outlier from Republican Party orthodoxy but as a representative of a party that could alienate more moderate Americans. “Mr. Trump has a great capacity to use bluster and bigotry to inflame people and to make think there are easy answers to very complex questions”, she said.

She called Trump a threat to the nation’s safety, saying he was fast “becoming IS’s best recruiter”.

Clinton said that ISIS is going to be “showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”. “But she just made this up in thin air”.

Clinton has sought to thread that needle, retaining Democratic support while expanding her appeal on the key issue of national security in preparation for the general election.

He ended his debate performance by congratulating Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, for doing “an outstanding job” as first lady. And he said Clinton’s criticism of payroll taxes is out of step with Democratic giants such as Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, who oversaw the creation of Social Security, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who shepherded Medicare into law.

“We now finally are where we need to be”.

John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, said after the debate that Clinton’s willingness to use all the tools at the U.S.’s disposal, including diplomacy, will help Clinton, not hurt her, in the primary.

Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley said the United States could rise to the challenge of ISIS if it “holds true to the values and the freedoms that unite us” instead of surrendering to “the fascist pleas of billionaires with big mouths”.

The statement also pointed to polls taken after the debate that found the self-proclaimed democratic socialist won the contest. Do you know the names of the reporters that he’s killed?
