 Who has the upper hand on terrorism, Clinton or Trump?

Voters trust Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump by a narrow margin on terrorism. But rising unease over the issue could increase his appeal.

By Steven Shepard

09/19/16 06:30 PM EDT

Donald Trump took full advantage of the opportunity Monday to return to blasting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for failing to keep the country safe in the wake of this weekend's bomb attacks in New York City. And Clinton jumped on the news to prosecute her own case against Trump: that he is a dangerous demagogue whose inflammatory rhetoric puts the nation at further risk.

The polls offer a more nuanced picture. Voters trust Clinton over Trump by a narrow margin when it comes to terrorism and national security — a reversal from past elections when Republicans were seen as the party stronger on national defense. But that’s not the end of the story: Trump’s supporters are far more concerned about terrorism than Clinton’s, suggesting the GOP nominee could appeal to voters who are increasingly anxious about safety at home.

Although I do not support Trump I believe he clearly has the upper hand on this issue.

I propose that Trump could make serious progress toward party unity, consolidate his advantage permanently, and move beyond his standard sloganeering to a more nearly specific and actionable policy, by openly adopting the proposal Ted Cruz has put forward and crediting Cruz with it.  Trump should argue that if he is elected he would call on Congress to pass the Cruz bill and that he would sign it immediately upon passage.

Thats about the most absurd question I can imagine today. One is a terror facilitator and the other has military/strategic skills that liken his young sex life to Vietnam.

I'd not look to either to either fix, or appoint anyone capable of fixing the terror problem.

Trump has shallow one-liners, Hillary has Huma.

Neither should ever be CIC as far as I am concerned

Depends.  Are you talking about creating it,  or stopping it?   


At creating it,  Hillary wins hands down.  At stopping it,  not so much.   :)

Well that sounds like a "no" vote, although not from the constituency I asked.

If I'm reading you correctly you are identifying Cruz, or perhaps just his proposal, as a terror facilitator.  Could you help me understand that please?

Sorry @Norm Lenhart, I recognize now that I misinterpreted your response.

The title reads:
"Who has the upper hand on terrorism, Clinton or Trump?"

I'm surprised at the posts that precede mine. ALL of them miss the point.

It makes no difference who has the upper hand on "terrorism".

Terrorism, per se, is not the enemy we must defeat.
It is merely a tactic used as a means to an end.

Was "dive bombing" our enemy on December 7, 1941?
Or was "the enemy" something else, back then?
I'm sure y'all know the answer to the above two questions. Right…?

So... who... or what.... IS "the enemy" that we must be strong against?

When you can answer that freely, then we're onto sumthin' !!

Neither.  Both of them scare the living heck out of me and are going to get us killed!
