    All this talk about Trump's tweet and nobody has tried to figure out WTF "Great hate and sickness!" means?

    She's definitely out ahead of the White House. They didn't go there during yesterday's briefing.

    Clinton's statement was surely made because of Trump's.

    She also waited another 12 hours before making her statement and did so after other reports cited the possiblity of a terror attack.

    Unlike Trump, who made his statement a few hours after the crash.

    It's a bit of a me to / not wanting to be left at starting gate. The fall campaign is going to be a disaster for her if she feels the need to match Trump at every turn.

    Hillary's not even President yet, and she's already leading from behind

    Sad!

    In this particular instance, the shadow of Benghazi forced her hand to use the phrase "act of terrorism."

    I know, right? Why wait til there's actual reason to believe it was terrorism? Other than the fact a plane disappeared. Just punch in the code already!

    Trump would do much more harm than good for this country. I grow more convinced of that every day.

    Some British aviation expert said the plane's flight pattern indicated a cockpit disturbance rather than a bomb was responsible for the crash. He could be wrong, of course, but if it turns out this was like the Germanwings crash where a pilot went suicidal, there are going to be a lot of people looking very silly, including both presidential candidates and many folks on this board.

    Have you seen the pilots' names?

    Why would anyone look silly? It was widely reported that it appeared to be a terror attack based on official comnents. Really surprised some here haven't gone after the pilots now that they've been named.
