Where they stand: Trump, Clinton clash on Islamic extremism

Following attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has blasted the rhetoric of Republican nominee Donald Trump, asserting his comments about Muslim Americans only help the cause of ISIS. “Governor Pence, you said yourself Hillary Clinton is at fault, ” Raddatz said, putting words in his mouth, “And you just said it yourself, what is the proof, because we can’t find any”.

They said Trump’s comments Friday acknowledging that President Barack Obama was born in the United States cancels out Trump’s five years of suggesting otherwise.

The campaign also responded in 2008 to allegations, made by Matt Drudge, that “stressed Clinton staffers” were circulating a photo of Obama wearing a turban with a blanket denunciation.

When important events occur during the presidential campaign, we can get some sense of how the candidates would act if they were in the Oval Office.

The New York Times says the letter was written after Newsweek reported on business dealings Trump had n China, India and Russian Federation, as well as with the former dictator of Libya.

On Sunday, Pence called that interpretation “absolute nonsense”, adding on ABC that Trump was only suggesting Clinton has been protected by gun-toting security guards for decades.

There is no evidence that Clinton in 2007 or 2008 bolstered, supported or much less “started” the birther crusade.

Clinton, who returned to the campaign trail Thursday after a bout with pneumonia, has pressed the theme that her Republican rival is unfit to be president. “Well, we do have challenges, but we’re not stupid”, Obama said. “There is no erasing it in history”. “It’s a bad thing that’s going on in our world, in our country and we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant”.

At first, Pence tried to stick to the issues by noting that the American people don’t care about the birther issue and are not talking about it. “Look, I understand why Hillary Clinton and many of her defenders in the national media want to distract attention from her dishonesty and her disastrous record on the foreign stage”, Pence stated, “I promise you, the American people see through all of this”.

“What they were trying to do”, he said at a rally, “is to de-legitimize the presidency of the first African-American president we have ever had”.

“If she treats me with respect, I will treat her with respect”. “Take their guns away, she doesn’t want guns”.

Clinton and her team see her experience and what they say is her steady judgment as key selling points for her candidacy. “OK, it would be very risky”.
