Voters see Clinton as the most trustworthy on battling terror

.................A crescendo of tough talk on Syrian refugees and terrorism seems to be elevating the toughest talkers in the GOP primary – most notably Donald Trump. But among the broader American public, the most trusted person to handle the issue is Hillary Clinton. […]

By 50 percent to 42 percent, more Americans say they trust Clinton to handle the threat of terrorism than Trump, ........................

Clinton’s eight-point advantage over Trump wasn’t unique: the same poll showed the Democratic frontrunner also leading Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Jeb Bush when respondents were asked, “Who would you trust more to handle the threat of terrorism?”

This is obviously just one poll, and we’d need more data before drawing sweeping conclusions, but if the results are accurate, there’s a rational explanation. The question, after all, deals with preparedness. Clinton has the most foreign-policy experience of any presidential candidate in a generation, while nearly all of her Republican rivals are either literal or practical amateurs.

Why does this matter? Because of the degree to which it challenges preconceived ideas about which issues benefit which parties. Republicans widely believe they benefit most when elections focus on the issues where they’re strongest: national security, foreign policy, counter-terrorism, etc. Just so long as voters overlook their discredited ideas and track record of failure on the international stage, GOP officials are certain they’re on firmer ground when voters’ attention moves away from the economy, health care, education, and the environment.


But this poll is a reminder that Clinton’s resume is unique, and with her background comes an ability to speak with authority on an issue Republicans claim as their own.

1. Agreed HRC is the best Republican running.

[TM99]

3. Isn't that the sad truth.

This party has moved so far right and the American people have become so terrified of their own shadows that the Dem front runner who holds neocon foreign policy positions is considered trustworthy. ISIS is a direct result of our failed war in Iraq that Clinton cheerleadered for!

What. The. Fuck?!

[Vincardog]

4. This party has NOT moved so far right, the Politicians have followed their BIG DONORS to the right.

The members of the party are LEFT and so left that they refuse to vote for GOP lite.
That is why they stay home. That is why the map looks so red.

As soon as we run Liberal Democrats wanting to work FOR the People we will see a Tidal wave of support.

^G^O ^B^E^R^N^I^E

5. I will clarify that the Party heads

have definitely moved right. The New Dems have successfully taken the reigns of control in the party.

And I agree with everything else you correctly point out.

2. Bernie is LACKING in so many areas. His gruff and angry demeanor does not demonstrate strength,

... it seems to be something that's used to conceal a weakness. The last debates convinced me that he's one-dimensional and lacks the ability to have a panoramic view of the world. His narrow-vision and limited-focus are perfectly fine for angry single-issue voters who appear to be oblivious to the world at large, and for a senator who specializes in one or two domestic/social issues. I need more from a candidate than abrupt bluster and finger-wagging. That's just one of the reasons that I love Hillary!

[Dawgs]

6. Yeah, the strength he took when standing against the Iraq war was so lacking.

It would have been so much easier to vote for it.

[NurseJackie]

7. LOL!

[Orsino]

10. I think you're dodging Sanders' obvious lack of courage shown...

...by his failure to accept big corporate or Wall Street contributions.

9. This. nt.

[NCTraveler]

8. Pretty clear to most of us.

I got a kick out of the op this morning where the poster showed great confusion as to how she could poll higher in this area than republicans. It was very eye opening. K&R

[dirtydickcheney]

11. Of course!

The people who told of the wonderful things the Iraq war would bring are considered 'experts' as well. They are 'authorities' on terror as well.

How about those that treat terrorism as a criminal issue vs. a war issue, what are those people considered?

Anyway, Trump has said what a disaster going into Iraq would be (or so he says - and I trust that he did). HRC voted in favor of it.

Huge difference and I'd pick Trump over her on this and these 'free-trade' issues, anyday.

[riversedge]

12. umm "I'd pick Trump over her on this and these 'free-trade' issues, anyday." are you on

the right board?

[dirtydickcheney]

13. Primaries.....

I think Trump is 100% about trade vs. HRC and I believe that she's not to be trusted on any issue involving the Middle East or 'terrorism'.

Sell me on her merits about these two issues.

[riversedge]

16. Google is your friend.

[MoonRiver]

17. You support a Republican over a Democrat?

P.S. Nobody has to sell you on anything. Your statements speak volumes.

[dirtydickcheney]

19. I support non-Corporate candidates

HRC is the Corporate candidate on many issues I care about .
That's why I don't' trust her.

She's talks-the-talk about individual rights, but when the rubber-meets-the-road she will support what Big Money wants - always.

Stating 'she won't lobby against the TPP' doesn't sound like she's too much of a Democrat (at least a traditional one).

Part of Bernie's platform is anti-free trade! Trump seems to feel the same.

What? The only thing that matters is whether they have a D or an R next to their name?

I support Democratic Principles - not the Rahm Emanuel DLC-type democrat who things those progressive principles are "effing retarded".


Not that hard to figure out.

[MoonRiver]

20. Does all that mean Donald Trump is acceptable to you?

[firebrand80]

14. It's almost as though having experience with these things makes a difference

[morningfog]

15. No one running has more experience in pushing senseless acts of war.

No more war hawks.

[hootinholler]

18. "Voters see Clinton as the most trustworthy on battling terror"

They would have had to ask the question about all of the D candidates to reach that conclusion.

Correct the Record is making shit up for the record.

[Motown_Johnny]

21. Bwahahah!! You need to compare her to Trump!!!!

How about comparing her to 205 pounds of dog crap with a dead possum on top? Will she be more trusted than that?

[riversedge]

22. Your post is icky smelling but in the spirit of

T/G I will only say......
