His whole campaign has been one long insult to all those who have worn the uniform, the Democratic nominee said at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Clinton said that “a man who is so wrong about our veterans isn’t right to serve as commander in chief”. “People who have nothing to hide don’t bleach – nobody’s even ever heard of it – their emails, or destroy evidence to keep it from being publicly archived as required under federal law”, Trump said, pointing to Clinton aides’ use of a software named BleachBit to expunge traces of deleted emails.

Trump, the Republican nominee, gave a speech on national security in Virginia Beach, Va., home to naval bases and a large retired-military community. He referenced Clinton and President Barack Obama’s policies, saying, “You have illegal immigrants that she wants and he wants treated better than veterans”.

“Nobody takes all the risks Hillary Clinton took unless they’re trying to cover up massive, massive crimes”, he said.
Trump’s rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, has tried to paint the billionaire businessman as erratic, making the case that his disposition would be a major liability on the world stage. Trump has offered nothing but empty promises and divisive rhetoric.
“It’s kind of interesting to have all the planes here on the same tarmac”, Kaine said after he and Clinton greeted supporters on the tarmac. It was viewed as a snub by Chinese officials. Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, claimed the emails should not have been deleted because of orders placed on the email account. Though conservatives like to paint her as nakedly partisan, on Capitol Hill she gained respect from Republicans for working across the aisle: Two-thirds of her bills had GOP co-sponsors and included common ground with some of Congress’ most conservative lawmakers. They would also recommend good books to read in order to get her mind off the scandal.
Election Day is nine weeks away.
