Clinton unloads on Trump: ‘Hateful,’ ‘inflammatory,’ ‘bigotry’
Statistician and writer Nate Silver disputed the term’s supposedly regular usage, linking to a database he said showed “schlonged” had only been used nine times on U.S. news sources since 1980 – most of which very much did not mean “beaten badly”.
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has said she won’t respond directly to Republican counterpart Donald Trump’s recent controversial comments, but the former Secretary of State said she deplores the tone of the real estate tycoon’s campaign.
Clinton was absent from her podium for the first minute of the second debate block, for which she sheepishly apologized for her tardiness.
Mrs Clinton instead focused on Mr Trump’s past remarks about Muslims – among which is a call to ban them from entering the US. “I think that’s what that really was about”. “She will be a disaster about everything as president of the United States”.
Meanwhile, Clinton, who drew criticism from opponents and independent fact-checkers for claiming during the debate that Islamic State recruiters use videos featuring Trump as recruitment tools, doubled down on the sentiment. “In a lot of ways, I feel like Hillary stands for the status quo and Bernie is fighting that status quo”. What happened to her? “She lost, I mean she lost”.
“It reminds the women who love her so much of the kinds of things that professional and successful women have to go through every day. But I thought that, wasn’t that a weird deal”. Where did Hillary go? “They had to start the debate without her. … Where did she go?!” he said at a rally in MI. “It’s disgusting. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s too disgusting”. “Don’t say it, it’s disgusting”.
Hillary Clinton also appears acutely aware the GOP has hit a nerve with an American public that is feeling insecure, frequently telling voters “It is OK to be afraid”.
Quinnipiac has Trump leading the Republican field with 28 percent support, followed by Senator Ted Cruz at 24 percent and Senator Marco Rubio at 12.
It turns out to be a useful observation about Trump.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in an email to supporters that Sanders “is on track to outraise us this month”, hyperbolically warning that “we might not have the resources we’ll need to really compete” down the stretch in Iowa and New Hampshire. Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, saying that the Republican’s presidential candidate’s comment was racist because it invoked the image of a “black rapist”. “They should all grow up”. “They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”, added Clinton.
