Stewart has since posted a second time on the matter, as well as sharing an image of two police officers uploaded to Facebook by a group which backed the candidacy of Dr.
And no other moment has revealed more starkly how hard it is for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to be that candidate.
Trump is the “pitchfork” presidential candidate; he taps into American people’s fears and insecurities and riles them up by pointing fingers. “But all these things can be true at once”, and “surely we can all agree with those basic premises”. Johnson has not received very much media attention and many people do not know his name or his stance on issues, but if he performs well in the debates, it might just be enough to sway Trump and Clinton’s moderate votes.
Vernita Blocker, a retired social work administrator from Lindenwold, N.J., supports Clinton but said she worries that Trump may be better suited to capitalize on Americans’ concerns about fraying social order.
This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our fearless police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.
“A brutal attack on our police force is an attack on our country and an attack on our families”, Trump added.
Trump, whose poll ratings increased after his forceful responses to terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., tried to sound similarly resolute Friday evening, saying in a video that law enforcement was “the force between civilization and total chaos”.
Donald Trump has slammed Hillary Clinton for talking about the email controversy surrounding her USA presidential bid when five police officers were killed in a shootout by at least one sniper in Dallas, saying she was answering “softball questions” on a day of national tragedy.

“I think sometimes for whites it’s hard to appreciate how real that is and how it’s an everyday danger”, Gingrich said.
“And until we can have an open conversation both of how do you protect the police but also how do you protect the innocent I think we’re not going to solve this problem”, he said.
Later in the day, the statement on Trump’s campaign website was changed to say “two people”.
The remarks were a sharp contrast to the speech Trump delivered in the wake of the Orlando shooting, when he accused American Muslims of being too reluctant to cooperate with police.
Mary Darling, 59, is an Illinois Republican who said she won’t vote for Trump or Clinton.
“We’ll make it clear when deadly force is warranted, and when it isn’t”.
The Clinton campaign canceled a joint rally with Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania, scheduled for earlier Friday, citing the “tragic events” in Dallas.

Over the past several months, Trump has repeatedly blamed President Barack Obama for racially dividing the country, and he has been an outspoken defender of police officers, saying that many are afraid to do their jobs and that sometimes they have to be rough with suspected criminals.
