http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/12/21/1462345/-Hillary-News-Views-12-21-Debate-Highlights-and-Analysis-and-Prioritizing-Millienial-WomenTodays Hillary News & Views begins with some coverage of Saturday nights Democratic debate.
Wall Street Journal reports:
In the third Democratic debate Saturday, Mrs. Clinton largely looked past her two primary foes and injected Mr. Trump into the conversation, denouncing his ideas as wrongheaded and potentially dangerous.
I worry greatly that the rhetoric coming from the Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, is sending a message to Muslims here in the United States and literally around the world that there is a clash of civilizations, that there is some kind of Western plot or even war against Islam, which then I believe fans the flames of radicalization, Mrs. Clinton said.
CNN reports:
"We also need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don't fall on receptive ears," Clinton said.
"He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists," she continued.
Clinton appears to be well positioned to ease through the Democratic primary and take the fight to her preferred targets in the Republican Party.
"You know, everybody says every election's important, and there's truth to that. This is a watershed election. I know how important it is that we have a Democrat succeed President Obama in the White House," Clinton said in her closing statement, before making a quip which suggested that the restoration of tried-and-tested franchises from another era -- be it in movies like Star Wars or in politics -- could work.
"Thank you, good night and may the force be with you."

Hillary Clintons rivals questioned her commitment to tighter rules on guns, her hawkish foreign policy tendencies and even her age. None of that mattered.
The former Secretary of State batted away questions about her character and her policies during Saturday nights debate near Manchester, N.H. In turn, she reminded Democrats why she has enjoyed months at the top of the polls: shes a tough competitor, policy wonk and compelling messenger. Even when facing with stinging criticism, she kept her cool and returned as good as she got on the campus of Saint Anselm College.
Clinton initiated none of the squabbles with fellow Democrats, but that didnt mean she let her rivals go unanswered. Several times, she laughed at them before calmly explaining why they were, in her view, off-base.
