It has a life of its own. It has been tough enough for this family more comments are just adding fuel to their pain.

[scheming daemons]

1. Hillary has said very little about it..... she's letting Trump hang himself...

....as she should.

[LenaBaby61]

15. THIS ^^^^^

Hillary's allowing tRump to hang himself by his OWN petard.

[whistler162]

18. Smart tactic

[DURHAM D]

2. Hillary has said little about the controversy so

why should she move on from? It is Dump that can't move on.

[sufrommich]

3. No, she shouldn't. Both Mr. and Mrs. Khan are out there

fighting that sociopath,we need to have their backs now more than ever.

[oswaldactedalone]

4. Not sure about this

Surely a few more days of pounding Trump on dissing "Gold Star Parents" can't hurt. It's a stirring message illustrating the depravity of Don the Con. Makes for a good sound bite as well.

[ehrnst]

5. She really hasn't been talking about it - the Khans have chosen to. (nt)

[writes3000]

6. Hillary has handled this perfectly. She's stated the obvious but she hasn't focused on it

Instead, she's been staying big picture on jobs, college affordability, etc, etc.

7. hillary has made little comment on this unless I have missed something

trump and his zealots are keeping it news worthy as they keep digging their hole

republicans fed up with trump are keeping it new worthy

hillary is sitting back and thinking...boy....we didn't have to spend a dime on ads to dig trump a BIG HOLE


can't wait for the next one, trump is making it too easy but what happens when you have surrounded your self with yes men....we are witnessing a real life "emperor's new clothes" moment

[BeyondGeography]

8. The Khans and other Gold Star families are doing the talking

Trump is the one who needs to apologize and move on. He had Pence make a statement but he himself is so afraid of appearing weak that he keeps the issue going by not admitting he misspoke and understands how offensive he was to people who have lost a child in war. Hillary is running around the country talking about jobs this week.

9. Blaming HRC for Trumpy's mouth?

[MohRokTah]

17. I know, it's fucking ridiculous.

I'm gobsmacked by so many threads on DU these days.

[Iliyah]

10. From the last I read, T-rump is still attacking.

HRC is trying to talk issues but still supports Mr. & Mrs. Khan and other families. Anyone with a heart do.

[Kaleva]

11. She hasn't said much about this. Trump's comments are keepig it in the news.

[oberliner]

12. The Russia controversy really needs to take hold

People in the media seem afraid to dig too deeply into the ties between the Trump campaign and Putin's Russia.

They ought to get on this.

[PrideofJefferson]

13. I actually think the Kahns

need to pull back the rhetoric a bit. It is obvious that they are grieving still but I am getting a sense that some will see anger instead of grief in their words. I thank them for the sacrifice their family has made but trump will do enough damage to himself with this one.

[Kingofalldems]

20. So they are not allowed to be angry about Trump insults?

[PrideofJefferson]

21. Of course they are

But I think trump is self destruction mode and the damage is ongoing. The high ground belongs to the Khans and that's where I want it to stay.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. The problem is when both sides hack at each other, it just becomes a wash

Let Trump tire himself out.

[Princess Turandot]

14. The family is continuing to take it on directly, despite their pain, because they are righteous...

Mrs. Khan had an opinion piece in WaPo yesterday.

Hillary's campaign has been commenting about it primarily using Twitter. That seems to be an appropriate way to handle it at this point. She's not causing them the pain.

16. Completely agree.

But watch...after Labour Day it's going to be time to announce plans and policies...where she shines.

[uponit7771]

19. I don't see Hillary say much about the whole issue, its best to let tRump be an ass

[Rex]

22. I disagree.
