HRC says "hell no" to apologizing to Trump. Jeb sides with Trump.

So there you have it. The Rethug establishment would rather prop up even Trump than risk Hillary.


http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/21/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-apology-isis-video/

"Hell no. Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said Monday afternoon.

Earlier Monday, Trump demanded that Clinton apologize to him for her comment.

"I will demand an apology from Hillary," Trump said Monday on NBC's "The Today Show." "I will demand an apology from Hillary, she should apologize. She lies about emails, she lies about Whitewater, she lies about everything. She will be a disaster as President of the United States."

Clinton made the claim during Saturday night's Democratic debate, but a spokeswoman later said they did not have a specific video of ISIS using clips of Trump disparaging Muslims, but instead pointed to social media comments from ISIS recruiters. CNN's Reality Check Team also found there was nothing to support Clinton's claim of an ISIS video showing Trump.

SNIP

The exchange even drew Jeb Bush to Trump's side for one, fleeting moment Monday.

Trump called in to the Toady Show to order Matt Lauer around. He said he was going to demand an apology from Clinton, and told Lauer to be his messenger for that demand. Lauer didn't stop to ask "how high" when "Mr. Trump" told him to jump. It was "Yessir, Mr. Trump, I'll deliver your message for you." The only things Lauer was missing were a snappy salute and a Western Union messenger cap.

If there were any real journalists or reporters there coverage ofTrimp would only consist of pointing out his lies and racism.

Yes, there are still questions.


I won't be surprised to hear some exchange like that.

and their dupes.

But if you want to talk about first lady finances, just wait for Bernie to run in the general. Then we'll get to hear all about Jane Sanders and how she got her college president job at Burlington College with an online PhD from an Ohio-based school whose Phd program was revoked by the State of Ohio just a couple years later, based on the inadequacy of its program. And how, in the aftermath of her forced departure, a Trustee said they had been motivated to hire her based on her connections with Bernie.

I can provide a link for that if you'd like to see it. I'm sure if Bernie runs in the general we'll see a lot more about it in the MSM. It will either be things like Whitewater and Vince Foster (old news, boring); or Jane, nepotism, etc. (new news, exciting!)

Nearly every news agency tried to find these videos and came up with squat. What I have seen are ISIS recruitment videos that feature Bill Clinton and Obama.
