“He said he doesn’t care if other countries get them, doesn’t know why they haven’t been used already”.

Trump said Monday on CNBC that he fears he won’t be treated fairly.
The Daily Show host was the first to note kamikaze planes had crashed into the USS Intrepid, now docked in New York City and where the forum was held, and point out Lauer had continued that tradition with his moderating gig. As nominees for the November 8 presidential election, she and Trump are entitled to receive intelligence briefings. No, Hillary Clinton’s most unsafe foe is the entire political news media, whose idea of objectivity is, as Chait hints at, is to treat every liability as equal, at best, and to hunt for a liability when one is needed to provide “balance”.
He was criticized for allegedly lobbing softball questions at Trump, while grilling Hillary Clinton on her use of a private email server, reported Business Insider’s Mark Abadi. They relentlessly (and often erroneously) fact-check the Republican candidate while letting the Democrat say things like what Obama said about Russian Federation in 2012.
Clinton, meanwhile, metes tomorrow with bipartisan military leaders, including General David Petraeus and former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, for a work session on terrorism and national security. The current average of polls by website RealClearPolitics puts her at 45.6 percent support, compared to Trump’s 42.8 percent. Clinton said the remarks show Trump has “failed” at a key test of being the nation’s commander in chief. Still, the stark opposition in those words not only helps to illustrate how Clinton and Trump define leadership, but how incredibly different they appear poised to treat the job.
“But I would say just analytically in terms of what happened, I thought Trump actually did pretty well and this should have been Hillary Clinton’s strongest evening, really”.
“Our foreign enemies were in a position to hack our most sensitive national security interests”, he said.
Trump, who has never held elected office, has criticized Clinton’s judgment, attacking her vote in favor of the 2003 Iraq war and her support for the US intervention in Libya in 2011.

On NBC Nightly News, reporter Andrea Mitchell was as giddy about the verbal attacks as a Clinton fangirl could be. “That’s not only risky, it should be disqualifying”.
The forum underscored a debate that’s rapidly becoming a focal point in the race: Is the first female presidential nominee of a major USA party being judged fairly?
The New York real estate mogul’s campaign swiftly shot back, with Trump spokesman Jason Miller calling Clinton’s attacks “unhinged and dishonest”. Afterwards, some of his supporters shrugged off his comments about Putin. Asked about his statement that he knows more about the Islamic State than American generals, Trump said, “The generals have been reduced to rubble”, with no request from Lauer to explain what that means.

Lauer also received blowback for interrupting Clinton, who attempted to provide longer and more detailed answers during her portion of the forum.
