Trump Could Learn Something From The Way Clinton Responded To The Benghazi Parents Suing Her

Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill responded to the wrongful death lawsuit in a statement Monday:

While no one can imagine the pain of the families of the brave Americans we lost at Benghazi, there have been nine different investigations into this attack and none found any evidence whatsoever of any wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton.

In any other election, this statement probably wouldn’t be notable. But this year, it is, because it’s a marked contrast to the way Trump responded to the Gold Star family that criticized him.

nstead of issuing a restrained response, Trump went after the Khans. The GOP presidential nominee repeatedly tweeted about Khan, and in an interview with ABC News, Trump suggested that Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, didn’t speak at the convention because her Muslim faith didn’t allow her to.

1. "Learn something"?

How can a man who knows everything learn something?

3. But many people told him to go after the Khan's. Yes, that is a sad attempt at sarcasm

6. I am sure that Hillary feels some pain everytime this is brought up. Hillary is not the cold,

callous person the media and her detractors make he out to be. I sympathize with her having to go on in the face of some pretty hurtful trashing. Her choice and she is handling it gracefully.

7. I,too, applaude Hillary's reaction to Ms. Smith's rant against her.

Obviously the woman is still unhinged by grief and hasn't moved on in twelve years. Neither Sec. Clinton nor I have, thankfully thus far, been in her position . Nonetheless, many other parents have, and, necessarily for themselves and others close to them, moved on ; just maybe playing the "blame game" in their own minds, but striving to come to terms with their loss. I've known a few of them. I feel it was diabolical of the Republicans to find this woman and encourage her in a hatred which is only destroying her, with little hope for a normal life for her in future.: just hanging on to her grief and rage. It was a cringe-worthy spectacle--- and not for Hillary, who obviously has a normal sense of compassion, as do many of us. OTOH, Trump's reaction to the Khans was ugly and tone deaf. I understand Mr. Kahn is an attorney. I don't know his wife's background, but would bet she's very well educated. She certainly sounded so when interviewed later.
