Under normal circumstances, a U.S. presidential race comes down to two candidates debating the issues and zeroing in on major policy points. For many reasons, that’s not happening in the war between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. And although some voters do have valid concerns about her trustworthiness on matters like the email scandal, he continues to show that not only does he lack experience, but he can’t control his anger.
Trump’s particular brand of temperament couldn’t have been more evident than from his early morning rage-tweeting session over a nonexistent Alicia Machado sex tape. This gave Trump an excuse to use his favorite word, “disgusting,” and criticism has commenced on morning talk shows, which will likely continue throughout the weekend. Hillary Clinton is currently taking charge of online discourse over Trump’s latest attack on a former Miss Universe, who he bullied for gaining weight during her tenure.
Clinton fired off a rant of her own about Trump. She’s describing him as particularly “unhinged” for his latest display of unfit temperament.
This is…unhinged, even for Trump. A few notes. https://t.co/WURWs6aJ5f

She’d also like to know what type of candidate/man obsesses “all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?”
What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?

Clinton is aghast at Trump’s assertion that he “helped” Machado.
Alicia deserves praise for courageously standing up to Trump's attacks. And he has the gall to blame her—and say he "helped"?

She fired off more tweets about how this is simply the latest example of Trump’s long history of insulting women.
When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go. This is dangerous for a president.

Trump obsessively bullies Rosie O'Donnell—an accomplished actor. He insulted Kim Kardashian for her weight—when she was pregnant. Pathetic.

We've heard Donald's insults for years, and his policies reflect this disregard—even contempt—for women.

Finally, Clinton assures her supporters that — in this midst of Trump’s “Machado meltdown” — she’ll be focusing on policy this weekend.
While Donald continues day 5 of his Machado meltdown, we'll be in Florida talking about national service. You'll want to watch.
