Obama, Clinton, Sanders and down-ballot Democrats deliver withering takedowns of the presumptive Republican nominee.
Americas top two Democrats launched a one-two punch against Donald Trump on Tuesday, hitting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in simultaneous speeches with one message: Hes too dangerous to be commander in chief. And their message was even bolstered by a House Republican leader.

Not once has an adviser said, Man, if we use that phrase, we are going to turn this whole thing around. Not once, Obama said, speaking from the Treasury Department following a counter-Islamic State meeting

Approximately 240 miles away, in Pittsburgh, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed the real estate moguls shameful and disrespectful rhetoric, citing it as evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be commander in chief.

Bernie Sanders joined Obama and Clinton in their blistering rebuke of Trump, arguing that the Orlando attack came at the hands of one man, not one particular faith as a whole.
To blame an entire religion for the acts of a single individual is nothing less than bigotry and that is not what this country is supposed to be about, Sanders said in his remarks, which came within hours of Obama and Clinton's. Our goal as a nation must be to bring people together to prevent violence, to prevent hatred and to create the nation that we know standing together we can create. Our goal must not be to allow politicians Donald Trump or anyone else to divide us up based on where our family came from, the color of our skin or our religion.
As Democrats laced into Trump, he wasn't finding much backing from his fellow Republicans, in another stark contrast of Democratic unity and Republican disarray.

(3,072 posts)1. I just want to add this amazing quote from Clinton today
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, Clinton said in her remarks. But it was one thing when he was a reality TV personality, you know, raising his arms and yelling, You're fired. It is another thing altogether when he is the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president. Americans, we dont need conspiracy theories and pathological self-congratulations. We need leadership, common sense and concrete plans because we are facing a brutal enemy.
She is not going to take any shit from Trump. I've gone from "ill vote for her but she is far from my first choice" to "god damn, she is awesome!"
