While Donald Trump urged Americans to hide in fear, Hillary Clinton vowed that the ISIS attacks in Belgium will make democracy stronger in the world.
Former Sec. of State Clinton said in a statement, Terrorists have once again struck at the heart of Europe, but their campaign of hate and fear will not succeed. The people of Brussels, of Europe, and of the world will not be intimidated by these vicious killers. Today Americans stand in solidarity with our European allies. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and wounded, and all the people of Belgium. These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our alliance and our way of life, but they will never succeed.

I'm so glad you found a way to turn the deaths of these innocent people into a political positive for your candidate. Absolutely vile and disgusting.

But IMHO it will play terribly for Hillary in the primary
And it would be smart of her not to try and capitalize on this tragedy.
