“My advice to Mr. Trump would be to make the case that you have the temperament, knowledge and judgement to be president”, he said on CNN.

The real estate mogul did make a direct appeal to supporters of Clinton’s primary rival Bernie Sanders, reminding voters that the Vermont senator, too, has raised questions about her judgment.
Among the facts: Clinton falsely recounted landing in Bosnia-Herzegovina under sniper fire; she has been paid millions in speaking fees by Wall Street and has not released the transcripts of those speeches; the Clinton Foundation took millions of dollars from oppressive regimes such as Saudi Arabia that treat women and gays harshly. She says, “That’s why he’s attacking my faith”. “We can’t let Donald Trump bankrupt America the way he bankrupted his casinos”, she added.
Calling her rival simply “Donald”, she said Trump “hates it when anyone points out how hollow his sales pitch really is”. “We have to bring our manufacturers back to the United States”.
In several instances, Trump blasted companies that outsource labor and manufacturing, although many Trump-branded products are made overseas.
The 70-year-old Trump painted himself as an innovative thinker who would protect working Americans from a system rigged against them by career politicians, such as Mrs Clinton. He said these are states that went for President Barack Obama in 2012 in which Trump may contend, along with Michigan, Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Colorado. Wednesday’s speech notably cast Muslims in a different light, as vulnerable to Islamic State extremists. “Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere”.
“Since my time at the Naval Academy and service in the Navy, I have consistently voted for Republicans”, said Dan Akerson, former chairman and chief executive of General Motors, according to USA Today.
“In short, Hillary Clinton’s tryout for the presidency has produced one deadly foreign policy disaster after another”.
Clinton’s staff quickly dismissed that attack and others as “lies”. Titled “A Viewer’s Guide to Trump’s Latest Baseless Attacks Against Hillary Clinton”, the Clinton message branded Trump as “a conspiracy theorist who has serious problems with the truth”.

Some of Trump’s policy proposals were more tempered than they have been in other venues.
Only a week ago, Trump renewed his call to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country and blamed them for not reporting terrorist threats within their community.
“Donald Trump uses poor people around the world to produce his line of suits and ties”, she countered. “We lost our sense of goal and daring”.
In his speech, Trump repeated accusations that Clinton’s decisions as America’s top diplomat were influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation and associated charities.
In a race in which both candidates have been hobbled by high negative ratings, Trump plans to deliver a speech Wednesday morning in NY in which he will “discuss the failed policies and bad judgment of Crooked Hillary Clinton”, according to his Twitter account.
“As we Methodists like to say: do all the good you can for all the people you can in all the ways you can”.
“He’s going after me personally because he has no answers on the substance”, Clinton said. “All he can do is try to distract us”. That’s why he’s attacking my faith.
Greeted by chants of “Hillary, Hillary”, Clinton promised to use her campaign infrastructure to help Democrats win congressional races as part of what she called a “50-state strategy”. Sanders has not conceded defeat despite being unable to erase Clinton’s overwhelming lead among delegates before primary voting ended last week.
In an interview with C-SPAN, Sanders said in the strongest terms yet that he will not be the Democratic nominee for president. “She is clearly an establishment Democrat”.

Cook spoke highly of Ohio Gov. John Kasich and potential future presidential aspirations, and said someone who could be somewhat conservative on economic issues while being moderate on social issues would likely succeed in a general election. “It would be a awful mistake for her to pick a candidate who is backed by Wall Street”, he said.
