Morning Plum: Shock poll finds Hillary Clinton more trusted on terrorism than her GOP rivals
Will the terror attacks in France make it more likely that the 2016 election will be about foreign policy and national security, thus giving an automatic edge to the GOP?
Some Republicans appear to think that’s the case. Marco Rubio’s first television ad proclaims: “What happened in Paris could happen here.” And Donald Trump is road-testing a new terrorism-related attack line on Hillary Clinton, claiming that Clinton lacks the “stamina” to be president and deal with the terrorists, who “only understand strength.”
Well, the new Washington Post/ABC News poll would seem to undercut this pleasing little story-line. It finds that Americans trust Clinton more than all her GOP rivals to handle the terrorism issue:

... head-in-the-clouds cotton-candy idealism. I trust Hillary. I do not trust Bernie.
Here's a cute cotton-candy puppy picture that made me smile.
Or the next generations who'll be stuck paying off the trillions of dollars wasted on that war... Or the US troops that Hillary wants to send to clean up the mess created by the worst political blunder in US history...
... I'll leave it up to you to figure out the actual source of my amusement.
But let's be honest with ourselves.. The only response you have to my post is an empty laughing emoji and a vague face saving "secret" amusement it's supposed to represent...
You're better than this...
... that's pretty much all it deserves. Any "secret" meaning is a product of your own mind. I'm not in a position to comment on things you imagine. You're barking up the wrong tree. There's no squirrel up there. The barking only adds to my amusement.
makes it even funnier.
...Ted Cruz! Mike Huckabee! John Katich! Rand Paul!...etc etc
Wow, what a feat!
She's not the nominee. The primaries are not over.
I'm sorry to admit that I regularly watch Fox's Special Report (mainly to give me a chance to throw things at the TV with impunity). And when that poll came out they didn't mention anything about Hilary Clinton. Instead, they just took the numbers for the Republican candidates, and did a five minute piece on how Marco Rubio has now 'surged into first place' as the most trusted Republican candidate on anti-terrorism policy. They didn't mention Hilary Clinton once. That gave me a laugh.
