Clinton, Trump to Square Off on National Security Issues

Trump said at the forum that he’d be open to “working” a way for undocumented immigrants to serve in the USA military – a sharp contrast to his tone during a speech in Arizona last week where he said he would focus on deporting undocumented immigrants from the country.

She was asked about a range of issues, including veterans’ affairs, her vote for the Iraq War and defeating ISIS. “This is the first time in the history – the storied history of Air Force One”. “Our president lied to us”, Trump said of Obama, falsely saying the nuclear deal with Iran put the country “on a path to nuclear weapons”. Here are five important moments from that hour.

Clinton’s campaign disputes the suggestion she’s dodging the media, arguing the former secretary of state has conducted more than 300 interviews this year.

He added: “Now, it’s a very different system, and I don’t happen to like the system”.

Asked whether he’d be comfortable with Trump as president, Ryan demurred, “I’ll leave it at that”. “There were no headers”.

“There were no discussions about any of the covert actions in process being determined about whether or not to go forward”, she said. “You have reported. you have the report of rape and nobody gets prosecuted”.

“It’s no surprise she’s resorting to unhinged and dishonest attacks, including claiming on Israeli TV that terrorists are praying for Mr. Trump to win”, Trump communications director Jason Miller said in a statement, “These are the desperate attacks of a flailing campaign sinking in the polls, and characteristics of someone woefully unfit for the presidency of the United States”.

But that wouldn’t include committing more forces to the effort.

Trump raised $90 million in August, according to a report from CNN Wednesday, compared to Clinton’s whopping and record-setting $143 million in the same month.

“Given his volatility”, she says, “it’s hard to believe what comes out of his mouth”. “We’re to defeat ISIS without committing American ground troops”.

Lauer, however, did not call out the Donald – which led many Clinton supporters on Twitter to chastise him for letting the Republican get away with a lie. But during the town hall on Wednesday, Clinton owned up to her miscalculation on the Iraq War ― and reminded voters of her opponent’s refusal to do so. Clinton said the remarks show Trump has “failed” at a key test of being the nation’s commander in chief. We have the greatest people in the world in our military.

Clinton could also be vulnerable to Americans’ worries about terrorism – particularly the Islamic State’s designs on the West – and criticism that President Barack Obama hasn’t done enough to combat extremism emanating from the Middle East.

Sixty-two percent of Florida voters say Trump should release his tax returns.

The GOP nominee again defended Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Sources with knowledge of the briefing have begun to talk, separately from Trump’s disclosures.

He also argued there was no evidence the Russians were behind a hack into the Democratic National Committee’s email system this summer, though counterintelligence officials have said there’s little doubt regarding the culprits.
