Clinton Takes Shot at Trump: 'Shouldn't Let Anybody Bully His Way to the Presidency'

By Josh Haskell

KEOTA, Iowa — Dec 22, 2015, 5:49 PM ET



...........The war of words between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continued Tuesday in Iowa with the former Secretary of State saying, "We shouldn't let anybody bully his way to the presidency."

Though she didn't mention Trump by name, the remarks came in the wake of controversial comments made by the real estate mogul in which he called a bathroom break that she took during the most recent Democratic debate "disgusting" and said that she "got " during the 2008 election.

They also came as Clinton stood by her claim that ISIS operatives are using Trump in recruitment videos.

During the campaign event in Keota, Iowa, Clinton was asked a question by a high school student who said she's been bullied because she has asthma. "You're looking at someone who has had a lot of really terrible things said about me," Clinton responded.

"I think we are not treating each other with the respect and the care that we should show to each other. And, that's why it's important to stand up to bullies wherever they are and why we shouldn't let anybody bully his way to the Presidency," Clinton told the crowd of 700.
...................

But, Clinton did mention Trump by name at her Keota, IA town hall when discussing national security and the "consequences" of his rhetoric.

Clinton stood by her claim that ISIS operatives are using Donald Trump in recruitment videos for the terrorist organization.

"If you go on Arabic television, as we have, and you look at what is being blasted out, video of Mr. Trump being translated into Arabic, no Muslims coming into the United States, other kinds of derogatory, defamatory statements," Clinton said. "It is playing into the hands of the violent jihadists."

2. There's no reason why anybody would ever have a reason to apologize to ..

..Mr. Trump. He owes the American populace more apologies than he'll ever be able to say.

...and besides, I feel like if someone DID say some stupid, idiotic thing that trump said and even if it wasn't true, I'd just say..give him time...give him time..he'll say it.

3. New Rule - Don't reference "the news" in a debate?

This headline from NBC News (a.k.a. "Trump Network&quot well before debate:

Donald Trump's Muslim Bashing Aids Cause of Terror Networks, Say Experts

Donald Trump's call for closing America's door to Muslims is opening a window of opportunity for groups like ISIS, counter-terrorism experts and human rights advocates say.

The Republican presidential candidate's controversial proposal for barring all Muslims from entering the United States is being used by the head-chopping fanatics and other terrorist groups like al Qaeda to attract recruits by painting the land of the free as opposed to Islam, experts told NBC News on Tuesday.

"They love him from the sense that he is supporting their rhetoric," said Rita Katz with the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors the social media activities of Islamic terrorist groups.

"They follow everything Donald Trump says," she noted. "When he says, 'No Muslims should be allowed in America,' they tell people, 'We told you America hates Muslims and here is proof.'"

And more...

Here's that "higher standard" for Hillary again. She has to verify and source the accuracy and details of the news before she can reference the news?
