Johnson responded, “What is Aleppo?” “We already know, from experienced intelligence and counter-terrorism experts, that leaders within ISIS are rooting for his victory”, Clinton said. The New York Times pronounced that the “consensus afterwards was not kind”. That’s the threshold needed for him to have a spot in the first presidential debate on September 26.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battled Wednesday to stake out ground on national security during a “Commander in Chief” forum hosted by NBC News. Clinton’s remarks followed a Wednesday night national security forum where the presidential candidates made back-to-back appearances. He also had new praise for Putin.
And regarding the nuclear threat from North Korea, Clinton said it was “vital we bring the world together to stop North Korea’s unsafe game”. “But certainly in that system he’s been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”.
Clinton wrongly claimed Trump supported the war in Iraq after it started, while Trump was wrong, once again, in saying he was against the war before it started. “If (Putin) says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him”.
Trump said Clinton made “a awful mistake on Libya” when she was secretary of state.
“We should make it a top priority to hunt down the leader of ISIS”, she said, adding, “I believe it will send a resounding message that no one directs or inspires attacks against the USA and gets away with it”. “I’m proud to support Secretary Clinton”. She reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator.
Last month her campaign launched the “Together for America” campaign, which features prominent Republicans, including many former Bush administration officials, working on behalf on Clinton. And the Wisconsin Republican says when you do that prematurely, you’re likely to lose anyway. “But I will be as careful as I can about making any decision that a president or commander-in-chief can make about sending our men and women into harm’s way”. But many have declared a loser: “Matt Lauer”, Colbert said. And he said, “When you play not to lose so early in the game, you probably end up losing”.
The Trump campaign announced Wednesday it would get rid of its widely maligned “blacklist”.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson now knows what Aleppo is.
“Here is what I want you to really hear, because even I was shocked by this”. Johnson said no, he wasn’t kidding. “It’s the reason we were watching, and now because Matt Lauer spent so much time on his questions about emails, the actual questions from the actual veterans about the actual Commander-in-Chiefing gets reduced to a speed date”.
But King said that the interview for his TV show was set up by his producers, so he’s not sure what they told Trump about the interview.
The Republican nominee used a different tactic.
Clinton’s campaign has seized on criticism of Trump for lauding Putin, frequently pointing to the Republican’s praise of the Russian president as disqualifying for the White House.
Trump cited Cleveland’s voucher program as a model, though a recent study found that the 20,000 students who receive the vouchers performed worse on standardized tests than their public school peers.
Trump has blasted Obama’s policy toward China as weak and said the president was humiliated by the Chinese during his visit to Asia this week.

“Since last night wasn’t technically a debate, there’s no real victor”.
