Both the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates broke from their campaign routines to address the issue.
Donald J. Trump, in Colorado Springs, rushed to describe the explosion as a bomb well before the authorities had made any determinations about what had happened and while the situation was still in flux.
“I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows exactly what’s going on,” he said. “But boy, we are living in a time — we better get very tough, folks.”
The Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, was informed of the episode after she gave a speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual awards dinner, her campaign said.
She seemed to scold Mr. Trump for his quick assessment.
“I think it’s always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions,” Mrs. Clinton said.

Now…which one of these responses is going to win the attention of more voters? Especially after it was definitely proven to be a bomb (accompanied by a similar bomb a few blocks north that did not detonate) and not some sort of random, accidental explosion.
Please!!!
Hillary Clinton…always a day late and a dollar short in term of the politics of things.
Donald Trump…Man Of Action!!!
Hillary Clinton…Overly Cautious!!!
That’s how it’s going to work out. Bet on it.
And that’s how it’s going to work out in the debates, too.
Watch.
The media better find a closer for Trump, and soon. Real evidence of either criminality or truly noxious scandal of some sort.
If not?
UH oh!!!
