(23,664 posts)Following the massacre in Orlando, Trump tossed the bait out there. Obama and Clinton, he said in an attempt to provoke a reaction, are too "weak" to even utter the words "radical Islamic terrorism".
Obama wisely ignored the provocation. He of course failed to respond. Clinton however rose to take the bait. She wasn't "weak". Nosiree, not her! "Radical Islamic terrorism", she stated emphatically, was behind the mass murders at the gay bar, and by doing so she moved the debate onto Trump's turf.
In her eagerness to prove how "tough" she is, she blundered into losing the first round to the orange haired ass weasel.
I hope she learns. IMO, people would rather have a "smart" president than one who talks "tough". We had that with baby bush and I don't think anybody wants to go down that road again.
