MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki inferred that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is overplaying its hand.

While breaking down Clinton’s Thursday morning press conference with anchor Craig Melvin, Kornacki pointed to the “people in her campaign,” who complained about the format and the tone of Wednesday’s Commander-in-Chief forum on MSNBC.

“I look at it as — I know there are people in her campaign, certainly, who have been very vocal since that forum last night, trying to make it sound like she got a raw deal in that forum,” he explained. “But I look at this and I saw this is a Clinton campaign that was handed a lot of opportunities by what Donald Trump said in this forum last night.” (VIDEO: Hillary Invokes Ronald Reagan To Attack Trump)

Kornacki also listed a litany of “headlines” coming out of the forum, on which the Clinton campaign should “do their best to make sure that is what people are talking about today.”

“What he said about Vladimir Putin, when Vladimir Putin came up last night and Donald Trump talked about what a strong leader he thinks he is compared to Barack Obama… Donald Trump’s comments about the generals being reduced to rubble, in his words, under President Obama… What Trump said, this vague idea of convening the generals early on in his tenure and getting a plan to ISIS.”
