Still, intelligence experts agree Trump’s comments have become an ISIS recruitment tool in other ways. “If the United States does not lead, there is not another leader”, she said.

Trump Retains Lead Among GOP Voters Despite Comments on Muslims
He is defending it against calls of unconstitutionality, pointing out that his proposal would apply only to non-U.S. citizens. They also largely agree with Trump that President Obama was not born in America, and many questioned whether he’s Christian.
“He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter”, Ms Clinton said, claiming that jihadists are “showing videos of Mr Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists”. “When he says, “No Muslims should be allowed in America, ‘ they tell people, ‘We told you America hates Muslims and here is proof.'” Katz then subsequently confirmed to the Washington Post that “ISIS didn’t feature Trump in a video, but ISIS supporters and recruiters have used Trump’s rhetoric to promote ISIS” ideas and agenda”.
Bad-boy pharma CEO Shkreli calls fraud charges ‘baseless’
Ironically, Shkreli who has been in the news mainly due to his price gouging tactics, did not get arrested due to pricing issues. Shkreli seemed calm and cheerful as he ignored or banned negative commenters and chatted with supporters.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley sparred with the pro-regulation Sanders, who has the most conservative view on guns of all the candidates. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders proposed going after ISIS first and deemed getting rid of Mr Assad a “secondary issue”. “Yes, I apologise”, Mr Sanders said replying to a question after he acknowledged that his presidential election campaign “by mistake” intruded into the election data base of Ms Clinton.

The Panthers figure to have their way at Atlanta, assuming head coach Ron Rivera wants to keep the pedal to the metal. Eli found a revitalized Odell Beckham Jr , who seemed to find his rhythm and cool off, for a 40 yard catch and run.

The Sanders campaign’s handling of the data breach this week emphasized the apparent disconnect between the candidate and his staff. His aides came out swinging on Friday after revelations that their staffers stole some of Clinton’s voter data, using a clumsy response by the Democratic National Committee to charge party leaders with favoritism and insinuate that her campaign also lifted some of their information.
That prompted several Republican campaigns to respond via social media, mocking the suggestion that the U.S.is “where we need to be” with respect to fighting ISIS.
Clinton’s staff called the actions an “egregious breach of data and ethics”, but the Sanders campaign has accused the DNC of being in cahoots with Clinton. Chris Christie called her “Mrs. Happy Talk”.
Actually, Governor O’Malley was testy most of the evening. Clinton struck back, reminding Sanders that he “voted for regime change” in Libya. “But before you do that, you’ve got to think about what happens the day after”.
Thereafter, the debate – the first one pitting the Democratic candidates against one another since the December 2 San Bernardino massacre that killed 14 people and which the Federal Bureau of Investigation has linked to Islamist extremism – largely revolved around gun violence and terrorist threats.

All three candidates stressed working more closely with Muslim-American communities to tackle radicalism at home – a sharp difference from the rhetoric of some Republican candidates. So while it’s possible that Trump’s comments are being used in some kind of official recruiting capacity – and that’s definitely something ISIS-watchers are anxious about – the evidence may be limited, and even if a Trump-citing recruitment video exists, Clinton’s campaign seems to be making it clear that she hasn’t seen it. The incident, as well as earlier attacks in Paris, pushed national security to the forefront of the 2016 White House race. The senator has deeply loyal supporters who are drawn to his economic- and inequality-focused campaign, but he’s far less comfortable discussing foreign policy issues. Clinton challenged Sanders on how he would pay for those proposals, suggesting he’d pass on the costs to states and middle class Americans. “I mean, think about it, she said last night, we’re finally where we need to be on ISIS”.
