I think she blew a gasket.

“Just when Hillary Clinton said she was going to start running a positive campaign, she ripped off her mask and revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans”, Miller said.
But pressed by Bash on the difference between the two nation’s governments – namely that in the United States democracy presidents share power with Congress, Pence acknowledged that Trump was not advocating for a dictatorship.
This was followed by a release from the Trump campaign hours later: “32 NEW MILITARY LEADERS ENDORSE DONALD J”.
The comments were notable because Pence often softens Trump’s controversial statements. But in this instance, he doubled down.
Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed over national security again on Friday, with Trump calling his Democratic rival “trigger-happy” and Clinton arguing his proposals would make the world a more risky place.
Just two months out from Election Day with the race between Clinton and Donald Trump tightening, the former secretary of state’s meeting Friday with a bipartisan group of foreign policy experts and the press conference that followed demonstrated the increasing prominence of national security in the 2016 campaign.
Pence also defended Trump’s comments that “the generals have been reduced to rubble” under the Obama administration, responding to critics that interpreted those words to mean Trump was putting down the U.S. military.
First of all, stop putting humans into sorting objects.
That has stood in contrast with statements Trump made previous year that he had a “foolproof” plan to defeat ISIS already.
A poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and Brookings in June found that 77% of Trump supporters agreed with the statement “it bothers me when I come into contact with immigrants who speak little or no English”.
The White House said it had no comment on Trump’s remarks.
“The military commanders serve at the pleasure of civilian authority”. Will women-particularly white, college-educated suburban women-be casting a vote for commander in chief based on entertainment value?
“We believe we have to work extra hard to make sure that the positive notion of what she wants to do breaks through, given the amount of interest that there is in what he says and also what we say about him”, Palmieri said. “Compared to where Trump is, where both Romney and McCain were, they had between 300 and 500”. And I said sure, I’ll do a podcast. “And he has lifted them up”, she added.
“I would love to date Matt Lauer, because getting busted would be impossible”.
He said that Trump supporters are “not a basket of anything”, adding, they are “members of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again”. This is not about me.
Lack also praised the ratings generated by the event, which outpaced nine of the Republican presidential primary debates and all but one from the Democratic side. At his education event in Cleveland on Thursday, he went further, saying that “had I been in Congress at the time of the invasion, I would have cast a vote in opposition”.
As for Pence, he noted that he’s been focused on his state as governor of IN, and is working to get up to speed on national and global policy.
“Take your time”, the unflappable Pence said to himself as the audience chuckled.
If nothing else, Donald Trump is colorful. And last night, Matt Lauer continued that tradition – because I don’t know what the fuck he was doing, and neither did he.
