"How will the recent turn of events in Korea impact on the presidential election?"

"Hillary is going to get tarred with this. Regardless that she hasn't been in the Obama Administration for almost 3 years now, Clinton did oversee rising tensions with Pyongyang, especially after the Cheonan Incident."
