Hillary Clinton on Monday accused Donald Trump of aiding Islamic State recruitment, while Trump said she had helped weaken national security following bomb blasts in New York and New Jersey. “When bad news happens, (Clinton) wants to be able to say, this is why you need a steady hand on the tiller," says Peter Feaver.
As in previous presidential elections, a group of experts at science and engineering organizations submitted 20 questions last week to this year’s candidates, seeking their positions on topics including innovation, research, climate change and the internet. (View the questions at http://sciencedebate.org/20qs). Among the scientists who are part of this effort are Duke professors Michael B. Waitzkin and Nita Farahany. In a Q&A with Campaign Stop 2016, Waitzkin, deputy director of the Duke Initiative for Science & Society, talks about the importance of the candidates’ answers in this year’s election.
The head of the Duke Islamic Studies Center writes that a Trump candidacy leaves “American Muslims with two viable options: supporting the historically symbolic yet flawed candidacy of Hillary Clinton, or investing in the Green Party.”
Political scientist Kerry Haynie says Trump needs to back off on name-calling and start appealing to more voters through new policies and details to the policies he’s already promised.
