Let's see since that Republican make is Trump and Democratic Female is Clinton how public reacts now.
He just got a new talking point:
Obama and Clinton have had much more serious foreign policy disagreements than some stupid words and remained close.
Every day he is more and more like a child.
What time is he speaking?
On CNN this morning, the interviewer asked her if she'd use the term and she didn't really say yes, just that it doesn't matter what term is used. I think she mentioned she'd be "open to it" but that's obviously not what Trump is claiming.
I'm sure you can find a transcript somewhere but I'm not sure what website.
2:30PM with teleprompter.
He just got a new talking point:
No. Remember that Clinton was an adviser to Obama on issues like these during her time as Secretary of State. The event in Wisconsin was postponed out of respect for the tragedy yesterday and probably because Obama has more pressing issues back in DC to handle with respect to this attack.Obama and Clinton event on Wednesday cancelled. And with Clinton now using the words about terrorism that Obama hasn't used. I hope there is no rift between the two going forward. I'm sure there not.
I don't understand republican pundit's obsession with the term radical islam. The mere mention of it doesn't somehow change the game. No head of state has really tried to say it, while Obama avoided it, so did Bush.
I honestly wonder if Trump gets so bad before November that we see the Bush family actively speak out against him. Right now I put the odds of that at 50/50.

What a terrible weekend. RIP to the victims. In general I agree with a lot of posts made over the last day or two.
1. Trump is truly vile, but is a clear reflection of a lot of Americans. A lot of people are scared and outraged right now...and much of it is not aimed at guns. It's aimed at Islam, immigration, etc.
2. Trump's response to the attack has been stunningly bad, to the point where he is botching a "winning hand." His erratic and narcissistic response further points out how unelectable he is, and that he's going to continue making big mistakes between now and November (assuming he gets that far).
3. Warren won't be the VP. Selecting a VP with zero foreign policy experience is not a good idea this year. And I continue to think this is an even worse year to try a two woman ticket.
Bush & Obama didn't use that term for very good reasons. It has uncomfortable connotations that also reflect poorly with our Arab partners. Not to mention it inflames passions within the electorate that are best suppressed.
Using that term is not worth the potential headaches it causes. If she uses it, I will still vote for her, but I will not donate to her campaign. The Supreme Court is important, but I will not donate money to someone willing to engage in that type of stupid inflammatory language.
Wal-Mart has discontinued its sale of AR-15s.
It's a bad position to be in when running for President though.
Oh, this was in August of 2015. Sorry.Source?
Also not what she said.

Sorry, all. I need to stop reading Facebook.

Just had a House GOP lawmaker pretend he didn't see me standing in front of him when I asked about Trump's call for Obama to resign
Unfortunately it wasn't accurate because he has issued a statement congruent with the rest of the Democratic party.I saw it and got a good laugh. Too soon or not, it was funny.
Then where will you find all the dank maymays?? Reddit???Sorry, all. I need to stop reading Facebook.
Yeah, she half-heartedly said "radical Islamism". She's actually splitting a very fine but distinct hair here (one might call it "Clintonian"), as "Islamism" is neither "Islamic" nor "Islam" but a separate term that can mean whatever she wants it to mean. Much like if you wanted to call a radicalized interpretation of Christianity that promoted terrorism "Christianism".
Did they poll the AZ Senate primary?Two new PPP polls:
Feingold: 51
Johnson: 41
McCain: 43
Kirkpatrick: 41
Yup, very Clintonian, but also the entire semantic obsession with this phrase on the right is so distracting from the actual issue (as Hillary said), that it ultimately was probably the right thing to say.
At least it seems like the LA incident had nothing to do with a potential hate crime or terrorism.
Also, Trump managing to eff up the Orlando shooting makes me more confident in a Clinton victory.

Feingold: 51

Agreed. It's just another one of those things the right does to avoid talking about guns. The faster they get exposed on it the better.
So what the heck was the LA thing about? I haven't really been following it.
McCain screwed up the math on siding with Trump from the look of it.
Santa Monica Police have now confirmed that Howell never expressed intent to harm the parade. According to reports from the L.A. Times and the N.Y. Daily News, friends of the suspect say Howell is bisexual with a male partner and harbored no ill will towards gay and lesbians.
I can't wait for the Feingold-Kirkpatrick Campaign Fiance Reform Act.Two new PPP polls:

It sounded like he wanted to go celebrate at the pride parade, meet up with a friend, and then go out to a gun range and go shooting homemade explosive targets.
So he was just an idiot. Thank god.
Another PPP poll:
Hassan: 47%
Ayotte: 44%
Is this your assessment or what you heard from inside Clinton HQ?3. Warren won't be the VP. Selecting a VP with zero foreign policy experience is not a good idea this year. And I continue to think this is an even worse year to try a two woman ticket.
Clinton +30 in California.
"I'm shocked!" said no one.

You actually have to feel bad for the guy. Orlando probably contributed to him getting a pretty lengthy detention since they wanted to be sure it wasn't a coordinated attack of some sort.
Edit: however, I guess he's a convicted criminal on probation that requires him not to own weapons so you don't have to feel that bad. But at least when he said he wanted to go to Pride to look for a friend he was being serious!
SUSA has Hillary's favorables 44/56. Not great, but also up a tick from where they've been. Reuters also had had her favorability up a bit.
Just like Bill Clinton. The voters bitch and moan about the Clintons but as soon as they get in office they're like the bestest.I think at most they'll hit dead even, but probably not. Watch her numbers go positive the day after she wins the nomination though.
