>Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that he wouldn't change what he's saying - even if terrorists featured him in recruitment videos - because his words "represent toughness and strength."
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had said at the Democratic presidential debate that Trump had become "ISIS' best recruiter" and was featured in the organization's recruitment videos.
Politifact later ruled that there was "no evidence" to support Clinton's statement, which Trump noted in his interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press."
"She lies like crazy about everything, whether it's trips where she was being gunned down in a helicopter or an airplane, she's a liar and everybody knows that," Trump said. "But she just made this up in thin air."

Don’t forget all the times Obama surreptitiously flipped off his opponent. There was even a video where you could see one of the idiots standing behind him tell the person next to her that he flipped someone off.

Is she afraid some of the recruits could become Trumpetts? After all he has more balls than any of the ISIS cowards.
Merry Christmas

Trump should call out Hillary and Obama in the same vain. Scared, sniveling, thumb-sucking, trembling, cowards, curled up in the fetal position in a corner hoping the Islamic Terrorists will kill them last.

“Muslims donât want our love and acceptance. They want our submission”
True, and I’m always reminded of that scene in Independence Day in which they ask the alien if there can be peace between us. The answer: “no peace”. They then ask it what they(the aliens) want us to do. The answer: “die”.

Good. But mr trump can hit a lot harder since this “you’re pro-Islamic” criticism is coming from the lady who did more to promote and arm the terrorists than just about anyone (excepting Obama and now Kerry of course). Benghazi, Iran nuclear icbm’s, secret gun- running to Moslems in Syria, et etcetera etc. and she pals closely around with a daughter of the Muslim brotherhood, for goodness’ sakes. And she hugged the grand terrorist mass- murderer Arafat. Go Trump, you got a full box of political “ammo” (figuratively speaking of course) on Hillary! Fire away!!

For some strange reason I watched the debate, almost lost it at the end when she said not only would take care of not only her granddaughter but all the other grandchildren.
I would never let her get close enough to my grandchild.

One thing Trump is going to have to do straight up when he debates Hillary, is kill the “I AM WOMAN” protectorate and make it clear that if she wants to play with the big boys she’s fair game for a beating. If she can’t take it too bad, get lost!
And then just absolutely WAIL on her to her face and before the world, lol.

So Trump is the recruiter! That ignorant crook doesn’t know her history along with everything else.
THEY HAVE BEEN AT WAR WITH US INFIDELS FOR 1400 YEARS STUPID!
I don’t think that Trump is that old.

I will drive ISIS from the face of the earth. I will destroy your oil, level your strongholds, and kill you wherever we find you. With Trump as President you will have two simple choices: peace or death. Choose wisely. I fantasize about a strong American President giving a provocative and intimidating speech but also backing it up:
"We will be rebuilding our military to Cold War era levels and incorporating our vast advanced technology along the way. I have given our military generals one objective. They are to find our enemy and kill them all. Our enemy includes anyone who speaks about, plans, supports or acts toward the killing of Americans or our allies. They have no rules of engagement. There will be collateral damage. There will be much death and destruction. Mosques are not off limits. The only limitation I have requested is that they consult with me before using tactical nuclear weapons. And they have been directed to start immediately. If they want war, they now will get it."

Go Trump! She is shaking in her boots at the idea of being confronted by someone who’s not afraid of her and the Clinton machine.

Imagine our G.I.s in WW2 being told not to insult Hitler or Hirohito, "because it would only make our enemies madder."
We have gone through the rabbit hole to unreality.

ISIS grew from less than 50 to over 15,000 while Hillary was SoS, so who was ISIS’s biggest recruiter again?
To: Travis McGee
Berlin, 1945.
Nobody said, "Don't bomb Germany, it will only recruit more Nazis!"

I wonder what theyâre up to.

The MSM is trying to damage Hillary to cause a brokered Dem convention so that Mitt can be drafted to be the Dem candidate.

The MSM is trying to damage Hillary to cause a brokered Dem convention... I've thought about that. Obama hates the Clintons, and probably wants to see Joe Biden succeed him. And the MSM will fall over themselves to do whatever Obama wants them to do.

To: realcleanguy
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Peter Beinart, a contributor to “The Atlantic” and “National Journal” if he had seen any evidence of Trump videos being used for recruitment.
“No I haven’t,” he said. “The truth is — the thing that ISIS uses the most is American air strikes and drones that kill people in the Middle East that is being done by the Obama administration. That’s a bigger driver pf ISIS recruitment than anything Donald Trump is saying.”
Politifact also found no evidence for Clinton’s claim.
We were unable to find any evidence to support this. The Clinton campaign did not provide any evidence that this is already happening — only that it could be happening, or that it may in the future. If ISIS was using Trump for recruitment videos, we would expect a frenzy of media coverage over it. We rate this claim False.

Well, I’m sure as soon as ISIS finds out what Hellery said, they’ll quickly follow her lead and put together a video. They know Dems are a terrorist’s best friend.
Not that I think what Trump has to say about muslims impacts these creeps. They hate for the pure joy of hating.
