NBC’s Trump Clinton forum draws big ratings despite criticism

Just over 6 in 10, 62%, say the way Clinton handled her email while serving as secretary of state is an important indicator of her character and ability to serve as president, just 36% say it has no bearing on her character or abilities.

“A political candidate has used professional intelligence officers briefing him in a totally non-political setting as props to buttress an argument for his political campaign”, said [Former CIA chief Michael Hayden].

But when asked who is most likely to be elected president, 49% of the poll’s respondents gave the nod to the former secretary of state.

Clinton said Republicans holding or seeking office across the country should be pressed on whether they agree with Trump’s comments, including his views on Putin and US generals that surfaced during the forum. “It’s a very different system and I don’t happen to like the system, but certainly, in that system, he’s been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”.

When pressed about Trump in particular, the Speaker deflected: “I made my points about Putin right there let’s leave it at that”.

During a speech in the state of Florida this week, Clinton said Trump is “temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be President of the U.S”.

“I don’t understand how any candidate to be leader of the free world could praise Putin, who’s a thug and an autocratic dictator”, Graham continued. Trump was asked at a presidential forum how he would de-escalate tensions between the US and Russian Federation if he’s elected to the White House. She will strengthen protections, so women don’t fear of retaliation from reporting.

“Dr. Richard Costlow, resident of Montgomery County:”Donald Trump embodies the least attractive and least inclusive messaging the Republican party has espoused in the more than 40 years I’ve been a Republican”. The opposition to him from multiple levels within the GOP belies their broad mistrust of him as a person and a potential Commander-in Chief.

Donald Trump has already asserted that he is smarter than all the nation’s generals, so it should hardly be a surprise that he has superhuman body-language-reading powers able to discern exactly what he wants to see from professionals specifically trained not to betray those thoughts. “My choice is Hilary Clinton as our next President”.

The forum also dealt with the treatment of veterans and their families, but Lauer never questioned Trump about his rhetorical attacks on the parents of Army Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim who was killed by a auto bomb in Iraq. America needs a tested and steady leader and we have that in Hillary Clinton. “Her experience and demeanor are a stark contrast to Trump’s divisive behavior”.

Despite having some positive expectations for her, Graham wasn’t impressed with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s performance, calling her “defensive”.

The Republican nominee is winning among independents by 5 points, 34 percent to 29 percent.

The Republican presidential candidate told supporters he would ask generals to craft a road-map to the Daesh annihilation. I can not stand by as Donald Trump hate mongers and bullies hard-working Americans around.

We found this Clinton statement, which left out some context, Mostly True.
