While accusing them of bombing NY would be much more extreme, Clinton’s refusal to dismiss the idea out of hand suggests the campaign wants to keep that speculation alive, at least for the time being.

“And President Obama and Michelle Obama – they kept their heads high”, she said.
Citing former intelligence and counterterrorism officials who have criticized Trump, Clinton branded the Republican nominee as a “recruiting sergeant for the terrorists”.
As several Trump supporters shouted “Hang him!” the Republican presidential candidate bemoaned the fact that Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old USA citizen originally from Afghanistan, would receive quality medical care and legal representation. That was less than an hour after the explosion and before authorities had publicly said so.
“There’s a reason why we haven’t had a woman President”, he said.
But it informs her vision now of what she wants to do: lead a country “where barriers are knocked down, and little girls and little boys can feel like they can go as far as their hard work will take them without regard to race and ethnicity and gender and sexual orientation”.
In her news conference on Monday, Clinton also warned against the instinct to villainize entire groups of people based on religion. Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon responded: “The Trump campaign can call it whatever they want; Hillary Clinton will continue to call it out”.
Hillary Clinton led a rally specifically aimed at millennials today in Philadelphia.
She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with ISIS, are rooting for Trump to win the White House. On Sunday, Islamic State claimed responsibility, calling the man “a soldier”, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was investigating the attack as a potential act of terrorism.
“That’s as close as he’s gonna get to the wall“, Clinton said, according to NBC.
That in turn hampers Hillary Clinton’s ability to get voters thinking about positive things she has to offer, which means negative issues like her e-mails fester in their minds instead. But there is a wall called Donald Trump trying to stop you.
This election marks the first presidential campaign where millennials make up the single largest generation among US adults, having surpassed baby boomers during the past four years. They are ratcheting up advertising and dispatching their top supporters to Pennsylvania, from Bill Clinton to Joe Biden to last week’s visit from President Barack Obama.
“There have been Islamic terrorist attacks in Minnesota and in New York City and in New Jersey”.
In just one week, both nominees will head to Long Island, New York and participate in the first debate of the general election.
With world leaders gathered in NY for the United Nations conclave, Clinton was expected to meet leaders of Japan, Egypt and Ukraine later on Monday, while Trump was expected to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Trump has tried to appear more statesmanlike as the November election approaches. Still, he suggested that it’s a positive trait that some world leaders feel uneasy about him.
