The Daily 202: Hillary Clinton’s hawkishness insulates her from Trump’s post-Orlando attacks
Washington Post ^ | June 14, 2016 | James Hohmann

Posted on 06/14/2016 7:34:32 AM PDT by Zakeet

THE BIG IDEA: Donald Trump is trying to paint Hillary Clinton as soft on national security. That will be a hard sell.

[Snip]

-- These rhetorical attacks are much less likely to stick because Clinton has spent more than a decade defining herself as tough and strong on national security. It is one of the biggest advantages that comes from being such a known commodity and scrutinized public figure.

Amazing Jeff Bezos bought that worthless newspaper to use as a propaganda machine.

He bought it to protect his empire and spew his political views.

Hawkish. Yeah, right.

I guess she DID vote for the Iraq War, after she voted against it. And then changed her mind again after that claiming that the wascally George W had LIED to her.

Hilda Beast has been extremely hawkish in attacking foreign dictators in Libya, Syria, Egypt etc which is why the middle-east is a huge mess.

On the other hand, Hilda would not utter the words “radical Islam” until goaded by Trump yesterday. Hilda is operating strictly as a politically correct orator domestically, which is why slaughter of innocent Americans at the hands of Radical Islamists will continue until she is removed from the scene.

I guess that Hillary’s hawkishness is the reason she supported us going into Iraq. Her aggression against Libya which wasn’t a threat to us. Running weapons to rebels to help overthrow the government of Syria.

Hillary is a hawk. Her hawkishness screwed up the middle east so much it will never be the same. I guess whatever it takes to keep the Saudis sending her and Bill more millions and millions of dollars.

Seems like her hawkishness wouldn’t play so well among liberals but all they’re hypocrites.

A ‘hard sell?’

She was Obama’s SecState.

She wants felons to vote (not all national security threats are Muslim or from abroad) and to have their rights restored.

She’s in favor of unlimited immigration.

She got people under her command killed in a Muslim country by Muslims.

She chased happy hour around the globe on the taxpayer dime and achieved naff all.

But yeah, a hard sell.

VS them sitting out in plain sight like at a dock? The headline is quite comical though.

What an idiotic premise.....

Libya is in the hands of ISIS because Hillary and the DiC were busy running guns and undermining the stable government. Iraq is a total disaster because of the DiC and Hillary. Syria is a total mess because of the DiC and Hillary

And on and on and on....She won’t even name the enemy or give our ambassadors the security they request

Very hawkish against the American people.

She also tried to install the islamist Muslim Brotherhood as leaders of the Egyptian government. Fortunately, the Egyptian people decided they didn’t want to be run by a totalitarian terrorist government.

This story just reinforces Trump’s decision to ban WAPO reporters from his events.

They flat out lie. Hillary Clinton as a staunch, tough, pro-American defender? What a laugh!

Sell out to the Chinese, sell out to the Muslims, sell out to any willing to pay.

Created the Libyan disaster, a major figure in the Iraq, ISIS and Syrian disasters, anyway you look at it.

Just Wow!

Proof that the WaPo really has no ties with truth or reality.

Until, of course, Trump attacks her on her vote for the Iraq War. Oh no, then the WaPo will twist itself into the next knot telling us how she was against that war and is not really a hawk.
