TRUMP BECOMING ISLAMIC STATE’S BEST RECRUITER, SAYS HILLARY

Hillary dominates, says Trump becomes IS’s best recruiter

Hillary Clinton dominated the third and final debate of the year in Democratic primaries on Saturday night both as the frontrunner and the main target of attack by her two rivals.

And all too often, she went past them and attacked the Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, setting up the big fight and highlighting the contrast. Trump, of course, took that and many references to him in the debate — a Democratic debate — as a compliment, retweeting a post that said Trump won the Democratic debate.

Clinton attacked Trump over his recent anti-Muslim rhetoric saying the Islamic State was using it to attract recruits, something that was called out as unsubstantiated by fact-checkers.

The former secretary of state leads the Democratic race by a wide margin, but Senator Bernie Sanders has set up a chase that has excited the party’s far-left wing. He attacked Clinton’s presumed proximity to corporate America, and attacked her on foreign policy as a believer in regime-change, which, he argued, got US into trouble frequently.

Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland who is way behind in polls, also attacked Clinton on similar issues, and accused her of “flip-flopping” forever on gun control.

He also sought to highlight the age difference between him and the other two — he is 52, to Sanders 74 and Clinton 69, and tried to get under their skin with repeated interjections.

Clinton had come prepared, of course. And called out Sanders on his vote in senate in support of the overthrow of Mummer Gaddafi in Libya, to show he was no different.

To O’Malley, she pointed out his own efforts as governor to seek funds form the same Wall Street he as reviling, and appointing an investment banker as an adviser.

And she ended the night with a nod to Star Wars, which opened this week to packed theaters around the country: “Thank you, good night, and may the Force be with you.”

JEB BUSH CALLS TRUMP ‘A JERK’

Days after going toe-to-toe with Trump on the debate stage, Jeb Bush seemed to relish his new role as the Republican front-runner’s chief critic.

“I’ve got to get this off my chest: Donald Trump is a jerk,” Bush said, unprompted, between answering two voters’ questions. Then he slammed the billionaire businessman for insulting women, Hispanics and people with disabilities during the campaign.

“Who is he kidding?” Bush asked the crowd. “I gave myself therapy there. Thank you for allowing me to do it,” he admitted, half-jokingly.
