Below is video of her comments on her campaign plane last night about the bombings in New York City.

Supposedly it works on a "multiplier" effect, but the only thing it seems to multiply

New York City Shaken By 'Intentional' Explosion, 29 Injured
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An explosion rocked the bustling Chelsea district of Manhattan on Saturday night, injuring at least 29 people in what authorities described as a deliberate, criminal act, while saying investigators had turned up no evidence of a "terror connection."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and other city officials said investigators had ruled out a gas leak as the cause of the blast, but they stopped short of calling it a bombing and declined to specify precisely what they believed may have triggered the explosion.

Vindicating the Pit Bull
Some years ago, I found myself sitting with three friends outside a bar near a mountain in Phoenix, Arizona. As we surveyed the foot traffic to the desert hills, we saw a surprising number of people with pit bulls. Perhaps motivated by the amount of beer consumed, one of my friends announced that he was going to purchase a pit bull. Another turned to him: "That's terrible. Those dogs will kill you." The third chimed in: "What? Those dogs just want to cuddle—they're over-sized lap dogs." Neither deterred him in his task, and he recently reported to me that both of our compatriots were wrong that day. Pit bulls are neither killers nor cuddlers.
