Clinton said:
It does appear that it was an act of terrorism. Exactly how, the investigation will have to determine. Once again, it shines a very bright light on the threats that we face from organized terror groups. And I think it reinforces the need for American leadership, the kind of smart, steady leadership that only America can provide in working with our allies, our partners, our friends in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. Because we have to have a concerted effort that brings to bear both domestic resources, sharing of intelligence, take a hard look at airport security one more time. Whatever needs to be done, must be done. The world depends upon air travel. We can’t allow it to be interrupted or to be intimidated.
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!

Hillary Clinton sounds like a president. She has a strategy for combatting terrorism and defeating ISIS. Clinton understands the interconnectivity of the global community and the fact that terrorists will only be stopped if nations work together.
Donald Trump is your elderly relative who watches too much Fox News and tweets a lot.
Trump’s response was not presidential. Hillary Clinton is reminding the American people what is required of the President Of The United States. Being president isn’t the same as hosting The Apprentice. Donald Trump has not any ability competently lead the country.
Tweets aren’t policies, and tough talk won’t diminish the threat of terrorism.
Hillary Clinton gets it. Donald Trump never will.
