Clinton fires back at criticism she was too ‘angry’ during forum
I’ve already said he is really very much of a leader.the man has very strong control over a country.
And only hours before the grandiosely titled Commander-in-Chief Forum took place, Trump made an address in Philadelphia where he kowtowed to the Republican foreign-policy establishment, pledging to lavish tax dollars on the military.
He has been the subject of numerous lawsuits, the most famous of which was brought by victims of his scam Trump University. But that factor has yet to sway this year’s campaign, as Trump makes the audacious gamble that voters – disenchanted with the political establishment and wearied by 15 years of war overseas – will throw out the status quo in favor of something radically different. When an Army veteran in the audience asked Clinton how she plans to take on ISIS, Lauer warned the candidate to answer “as briefly as you can”. That dynamic was on display Wednesday and will play out to an even greater degree during the presidential debates. Clinton said the remarks show Trump has “failed” at a key test of being the nation’s commander in chief. “I find it frustrating, but it is just part of the landscape that we live in and we just keep forging ahead”. “As I said, many of Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them”. “I wish the first time it was done correctly”. But, according to the latest reported campaign fundraising figures, Clinton’s coffers continue to far exceed Trump’s war chest. Now Hillary needs to whip up a quick news conference to tell us Trump is unqualified, as opposed to Trump constantly telling us that himself. He has no military experience and has repeatedly criticized the skill of the armed forces.
Trump, who has both said he has a secret plan to defeat ISIS and, if elected, that he would give generals 30 days to present him with a plan to beat ISIS, also offered little clarity as to which was the case.
“They have, as Matt Olsen pointed out, said they hoped that Allah delivers America to Trump”. “What I did learn is that our leadership, (President) Barack Obama, did not follow what our experts. said to do”, he said. “They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country”, Trump said.
Mr. Trump’s lack of understanding of national security and worldwide affairs in general prompted Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush, a widely admired strategic thinker, and Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state to Colin Powell, both to denounce him.
“I think we do have a common enemy – the Russians don’t like the Islamist jihadists”, McCaul acknowledged.
“Hey guys!” Clinton told members of the media as they awaited takeoff. He also defended a previous Twitter comment in which he suggested rapes in the military were the result of an increase in female recruits.
Since then, Trump has steadily gained ground on Clinton in the polls. Or he might have questioned why Trump would invite a rival government, headed by a dictator whose opponents often turn up dead, to hack into the email server of a former US secretary of state for the presumed goal of exposing whatever state secrets Trump is insinuating exist on that server.
Mr Trump replied: “Yeah, I guess so”.
“I make no excuses for it”, she said. That assertion is contradicted by an interview that Trump did with Howard Stern in September 2002 in which he was asked whether he supported the invasion.
Reviews of the pair’s performance were mixed.
Trump’s controversial comments, however, rocketed around the world.
“People start thinking behavior that in normal times we would consider completely unacceptable and outrageous becomes normalized”, Obama said.
The Clinton campaign is looking to make the same argument.
While Clinton was forced to dwell for some ten minutes on why her use of a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state ultimately did no harm to national security, Trump’s praise of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin-on which he doubled down-was not met with ten minutes of questioning about his invitation to Russia to hack into his opponent’s email server. It overshadows any real discussion of her actual foreign-policy record, which, as Professor David Bromwich has noted in the National Interest, is an awfully shaky one. “Not only drugs but also alcohol”, Clinton said.
