Nobody thinks Donald Trump can beat Clinton in California in the general election. The longer Bernie Sanders is on stage to deliver this message, the better.

She also pointed to his creepy affection for dictators: “I don’t understand Donald’s freaky fascination with dictators and strongmen who have no love for America. We do not want a president who insults Mexicans and Latinos, insults Muslims, every day insults women, who insults veterans and who insults the African-American community”.
She listed Trump statements on everything from the NATO alliance to threats from Russian Federation and North Korea – and played Trump’s assertions about climate change for laughs.
“It’s clear he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about”, she urged, and added, “If Donald gets his way, they’ll be celebrating in the Kremlin”.
What happens to the moral example we set – for the world and for our own children – if our president engages in bigotry?
Trump said Clinton has endorsed the Obama administration’s foreign policy moves – such as the nuclear deal with Iran and the prisoner exchange that freed U.S. “This is actual reality”, Clinton said as she chided the real estate mogul and political novice for his lack of experience on the world stage.
Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is not backing down from attacks against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
“It’s no secret that he and I have our differences”, Ryan wrote.
Some of you say Bernie should bow out because he has no chance of getting the nomination, and his continuing candidacy is harming Hillary Clinton’s chances. Reading poorly from the telepromter (sic)!
So this week she just blistered Trump, calling him “temperamentally unfit” to be president.
In sum, her goal was to paint Trump as a menace to the country and herself as an experienced, sober leader.
“I don’t understand Donald’s freakish fascination with dictators and strongmen who have no love for America. Imagine if he had not just his Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry, but America’s entire arsenal”, Clinton said. Before the speech began, a recording of the iconic Sousa march “Stars and Stripes Forever” replaced the usual playlist of girl-power anthems such as Katy Perry’s “Roar” that usually precedes Clinton events.
California, the most delegate-rich state on the Democratic primary calendar, has recently become nearly a second home for the Vermont senator as he barnstorms there ahead of Tuesday’s primary. “She doesn’t even look presidential!” CNN host Fareed Zakaria called it “the best speech she has ever made”.
“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different, they are dangerously incoherent”. Her Mideast policies as secretary of state left the region worse off, Trump said.
And the lies and obfuscation over the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi?
Iraq became a main reason for Clinton’s loss to then-Sen. That was true in 2008, when there was strong desire for change, and Barack Obama became that candidate of change. “She’s going to have to reach out those people and really sort of bring them in”.
One of the arguments that the Sanders campaign is making to those superdelegates is a side-by-side comparison of how Sanders fares compared to Clinton in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup against Trump. Instead, she was focused and direct, lacing her remarks on the Islamic State group and Iranian nuclear accord with bumper sticker-worthy slogans about Trump. Several polls, including two out Thursday, put Clinton just two points ahead of Sanders in the nation’s most diverse state. The final states to have primary contests vote Tuesday.
The speech marked a significant moment in Clinton’s campaign, as it was the first real signal of the tactics and attitude she will use to take on Trump and offered a preview of what are likely to be fierce clashes between the rivals at a trio of presidential debates later in the year.
“Honestly, she’s guilty as hell”, Trump told his supporters at a rally in San Jose, California, on Thursday where violence erupted as his supporters clashed with protesters.
Trump has already made his own attempt to obliterate Clinton’s foreign policy credentials.
Trump has vowed to hunt down the ruthless Islamic group, a fact Clinton didn’t mention.
Clinton is delivering one of her most blistering takedowns of Trump during a foreign policy address in California. “Now she wants to be our president?”
Republican Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally Wednesday in Sacramento, Calif. “That’s not the America I know and love”. “And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer”. She repeatedly referred to her White House rival by his first name only a knowing dig at a billionaire businessman whose closest advisers reverentially call him “Mr. Trump”.

Even Jerry Brown, the state’s governor who lost a contentious presidential primary here to Clinton’s husband in 1992, is on board. Many Republicans have been keeping their distance from Trump.
