Hillary Clinton warned in a Monday morning press conference .....................


Clinton said that she will be meeting later today with former Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and other world leaders as well as emphasizing that she has the "support and advice" from national security leaders who have worked for both Republican and Democratic president. That's in contrast to Trump, who she said is "giving aid and comfort to our adversaries" with his rhetoric.

We know that a lot of the rhetoric we've heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS. Because they are looking to make this into a war against Islam. People who number in the tens of thousand, not the tens of millions, they want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause. By turning it into a religious conflict. That's why I've been very clear, we're going after the bad guys and we're going to get them. But we're not going to go after an entire religion and give ISIS exactly what it's wanting in order for them top enhance their position.

Secondly, we know that Donald Trump's comments have been used online for recruitment of terrorists. We've heard that from former CIA director Michael Hayden who made it a very clear point when he said, Donald Trump is being used as a recruiting sergeant in and for the terrorists. We know from the former head of the counter terrorist center, Mike Olsen, that the language that Mr. Trump has used is giving aid and comfort to our adversaries.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is congratulating himself for having "called it" when he said Saturday night—before authorities had determined anything—

Looks cold and wet in NY.

Hillary up early--and the press is up also

[ffr]

1. She's already in her POTUS look, but I think she needs an entourage behind her

It looks more fitting, to me anyway, at this stage of her campaign.

[maxsolomon]

2. Too fucking late

she's shouting into a hurricane.

the American press and public is hypnotized, and I mean that literally. they can't look away and don't know what to do.

3. Unfortunately the media are already pushing the distraction by asking if trump is better

able to handle this

The media is an absolute disgrace

[lucca18]

4. I don't get it. Are they trying to get Trump elected?

Trump makes deplorable statements. He lies and sounds like an idiot on a daily basis.
The media has a lot of power and can greatly influence this election.

Someone said that if the media obsessed about Trump not releasing his tax returns, like they obsess over Hillary's emails, Hillary would be 20 points ahead.

Trump gets away with so much. The press is legitimizing him, which is deplorable.

And, I don't get these polls.
Trump is such a polarizing person, how can anyone still be undecided?

I shudder at the thought that this disgusting person would become President.

5. I suspect it is more of a rating game with them, but wouldn't it be refreshing if they actually

discussed the issues, and where the candidates stand?

6. Yes !

10. Of course he is - He'll send a strongly worded tweet!

That's his toughness right therew: name-calling and taunts.

The terrorists will be so scared.

I despise the sorry excuse we have for a media in the country

[Beartracks]

19. 'His track record of boasts and tweets speaks for itself!"

==================

20. It sure does Beartracks

7. Work for the night is coming.

"She doesn’t do dreaminess. What some people see as a relentless quest for power strikes me as the good habits of a serious Methodist. Be steady. Don’t give up. It’s not about you. Work for the night is coming." - Garrison Keillor

8. She desperately needs to change her campaign strategy.

Half of this country LOVES irresponsible, reckless rhetoric. How do you think dubya the cowboy got elected twice? These people want someone to say nuke the middle east, deport all the mexicans, and start trade wars with he chinese.

Fear-mongering/name calling Trump isn't really going to work this time around-- people are angry and they want to see someone make everything burn.

Hillary needs to tack back to the issues which the majority of people agree with HER and contrast that with Trump. She desperately needs some sort of clear stance which shows courage rather than political calculation, which will fire up liberals in the face of Trump's brashness. Public option in healthcare plan is a good one, maybe Medicare expansion. GO harder on Wall Street, call for an end to the death penalty. Propose a radical idea-- something! Right now it looks like she's just going through the motions of a campaign. Combative Hillary is the best Hillary-- the 11 hour testimony, the Benghazi hearings, that's when she shined brightest.

Hopefully we see some of that at the debates.

15. No. There is nothing she can do to get favorable coverage from the prostitutes in the MSM.

I trust Hillary's judgment. She is running a good campaign. If she starts being more like Trump, the scumbuckets will use it against her.

Don't you remember the responsed when she called out Trump's supporters as bigots? Trump and his brothel in the MSM widened their innocent eyes and said OMG!

9. Those millennials not voting or throwing away their votes to Johnson and stein

Better be prepared to be fighting in a war in the next couple of years because Cheeto has the temperament to get us into ww3. And those cells phones they are so attached to will not be allowed in war.

[still_one]

12. I have more faith in the millennials than what the talking heads are spewing

[kimbutgar]

13. I do know one who is supporting stein because she has been brainwashed

On that Hillary is a liar. Her mother my best friend has tried to talk her out of wasting her vote to no avail.

[still_one]

14. I know. There are also millenials who are supporting trump, but I think most will vote

for Hillary

[KALD]

16. Just clean his clock in the first debate and we'll be okay.

[AngryAmish]

17. Emails are coming back up in a really, really bad way.

Fuck this.

18. "Looks cold and wet in NY."

It was actually warm and humid and wet!
