Clinton says Trump’s Orlando response merely ‘bizarre rants’

Hillary Clinton delivered a blistering rebuttal to Donald Trump’s latest personal attacks and skewered his plan for confronting mass shootings, calling him an egomaniac and a liar unfit to be commander in chief.

“Mr. Trump seems to be suggesting that the president is one of them, I find that highly offensive, I find that whole line of reasoning way off-base”, said Sen.

He renewed his call to temporarily ban foreign Muslims from entering the country, and added a new element: a suspension of immigration from areas of the world with a proven history of terrorism against the US and its allies.

Clinton has also secured the endorsement of Senator Elizabeth Warren of MA, the leader of the party’s left wing who remained neutral in the primary race until it was clear Clinton would be the nominee.

Clinton posed this question to Republicans: “Will responsible Republican leaders stand up to their presumptive nominee?”

And Clinton, who has publicly acknowledged that she doesn’t consider herself a natural campaigner, appeared at ease lobbing one personally charged attack after another.

And she said that Trump’s platform would violate core American principles of pluralism.

Clinton is showing no sign of letting up.

The two had been scheduled to campaign together on Wednesday, but the event was postponed following the Orlando shooting.

President Obama on Tuesday rejected his Republican critics who say he’s afraid to call terrorists “radical Islamists”, and said using that term wouldn’t change anything.

“Our goal must not be to allow politicians, Donald Trump or anyone else, to divide us”, Sanders said outside his Washington headquarters, telling reporters he will continue to “fight as hard as we can” to transform the Democratic Party. He said on Tuesday that Mateen was “angry” and “disturbed” and had “become radicalized”.

In virtually identical statements released after meeting for more than 90 minutes, the Clinton and Sanders campaigns said the two rivals discussed their primary campaign, “unifying the party and. the unsafe threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation”.

The poll’s margin of error on those issues is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, compared to 3.6 percentage points for the bulk of the survey.

He also rehearsed his well-known position that attacks like the one in Orlando demand that the USA finally does more to reduce the availability of high-powered guns, including measures to renew a ban on the sale of assault weapons. “They’re pouring in, and we don’t know what we’re doing”.

Following the outcry from Trump and his supporters, Clinton responded by noting that she’d be happy to say “radical Islamism” but it would do nothing to actually “solve the problem”.

Several of Trump’s fellow Republicans clearly did not agree with him.

For his part, Trump is also hoping that the spotlight on national security can benefit his campaign.

“None of this will be easy, and none of it will be helped by anything that Donald Trump has to offer”, Clinton said.

The contrast that Clinton is looking to draw is clear.

Media coverage during the past year has boosted Donald Trump’s popularity at the expense of rival Hillary Clinton, but that has not stopped Clinton from widening her lead over Trump, according to findings from a Harvard University study and a new poll.

“If there’s anyone who thinks we’re confused about who our enemies are…that would come as a surprise to the thousands of terrorists we’ve taken off the battlefield”, Obama said. He forcefully pushed back on Trump’s proposal to keep Muslims out of the country. They’re trying to exasperate the divides within the GOP by presenting Clinton as a safe choice for the party’s more moderate voters.

“I will be rooting for you”, Bush wrote.
