“If he wasn’t good with Hillary Clinton, he was awful when handling Donald Trump”, the host said.

The response came after being asked her reaction to Trump’s appearance on the state-funded Russian Television. A qualified Commander-in-Chief wouldn’t even discuss a classified intelligence briefing in public, let alone make the absurd assertions Trump did to Lauer.
“They [ISIS leaders] have. said they hoped that Allah delivers America to Trump”, she said.
“Can I say I was surprised?”
Corey Lewandowski, the former Donald Trump campaign manager turned CNN political analyst, showered praise on Vladimir Putin and shrugged off concerns over his tyrannical rule over Russian Federation.
Trump has faced heavy backlash after stating that Russia’s Vladimir Putin has been a stronger president than Barack Obama, a “bold” claim which Pence called unpopular but true.
Nonwhite voters favor her by an even wider margin, with 67 percent backing Clinton and 25 percent choosing Trump. The current average of polls by website RealClearPolitics puts her at 45.6 percent support, compared to Trump’s 42.8 percent.
Trump mentioned that the tougher questions addressed to Clinton at the forum on Wednesday came not from Lauer but audience members.
Clinton then circled back to her national security meeting, characterizing Trump’s actions as “reckless” for the country’s security. “That’s what’s scary.” Trump said Wednesday night, as he has many times before, that he does not want to share the details of his strategy because he does not “want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is”.
Some of Trump’s foreign policy positions, such as his proposal to fight terrorism by imposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, have alarmed not just Democrats but many in his own party’s leadership. Trump then attacked Obama and Clinton, the president’s first secretary of state, for their roles in the USA troop withdrawal from Iraq. “That’s not only risky, it should be disqualifying”.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant would view a victory for Mr Trump as a “gift” from Allah, and believed it would provide “more motivation to every jihadi”, the Democratic nominee said. Afterwards, some of his supporters shrugged off his comments about Putin.
“I think that for his people, Vladimir Putin has been a fighter”, he said.
Also yesterday, Clinton’s team in MA announced they will open a general election campaign office in Boston.

The Daily Show host said the event was meant to focus on national security, and he pointed to the moment when a veteran asked Clinton about fighting ISIS and Lauer told Clinton to answer “as briefly as you can”.
