“. I don’t like either of them, but Trump is gaining on her and they’re rattled”. But he was also forcefully criticized for not asking Trump about his criticism of the family of slain Army soldier Humayun Khan, a Muslim who died fighting in Iraq, Trump’s deferments during Vietnam and failing to challenge the candidate on his widely debunked assertion that he was against the War in Iraq from the beginning.

“Trump has an ability to manipulate situations like that to his advantage, which we saw over and over in the primary”, said Sarah Isgur Flores, the former campaign manager for Republican candidate Carly Fiorina. Hillary then cited the fact that Republicans were willing to denounce Trump’s temperament saying “they are so concerned about this man and how totally unqualified he is to be president”. He routinely complains about the sound of her voice, at one point calling it “very shrill”.
