Hillary Clinton dismisses Trump’s ‘alternate reality’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/04/hillary-clinton-dismisses-trumps-alternate-reality/

DES MOINES — Hillary Clinton was Zen-like about nemesis Donald Trump on Monday, shrugging off a question about one of the Republican presidential front-runner's attacks on her by implying that some of what he says is divorced from reality.

"I've adopted a New Year's resolution," Clinton said at a question-and-answer session with voters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"I'm going to let him live in his alternate reality," she said. "I'm not going to respond."

Clinton had been asked to respond to what the questioner said was Trump's charge that Clinton and President Obama had "created" the Islamic State militant group through their actions in the Middle East.

Clinton made a face and adopted a flat, all-business tone to deliver her answer.

Rant and rave, say the same thing over and over, turn red in his face, make some more faces and stand there with his mouth open, they need some fly catchers.

She doesn't need to get in the gutter with Trump; I like her response.
