“And I opposed the reckless way Hillary Clinton took us out”. “No not to take them out, but something has to happen. The problem is nobody gets prosecuted”. “They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country”.

The Trump campaign said the total included a “significant contribution” from the Republican nominee himself.
“What I am focused on is all the other malicious activities of the Iranians – ballistic missiles, support for terrorists, being involved in Syria, Yemen and other places, supporting Hezbollah, Hamas”, Clinton told Matt Lauer, the NBC interviewer convening the town hall.
“The Clinton Foundation provides life-saving care to AIDS patients, while the Trump Foundation once gave $250 to the Special Olympics, and $100 to the March of Dimes”.
Lauer asked: “But you have your own plan?” “The man has very strong control over a country”, he said at the forum. But I want to be – I don’t want to – look.
Lauer also received blowback for interrupting Clinton, who attempted to provide longer and more detailed answers during her portion of the forum.
The regret there might be for Lauer, who was immediately besieged on Twitter for letting Trump get away with a blatant falsehood on air.
She said the deal “does not in any way” excuse Iranian behavior, such as its support for militant groups like Hezbollah and Hamas and development of long-range ballistic missiles. They’ve gotta hold them.
Clinton’s emails and Trump’s lack of specificity in his policy prescriptions were front and center.
“I make no excuses for it”, she said.
Trump has said that he was against invading Iraq from the beginning, citing an Esquire article that was published the year after the war began.
In six of seven Northeastern states surveyed, only 60 to 65 percent of Bernie Sanders supporters are now backing Clinton. “I am asking to be judged on the totality of my record”.
Clinton elaborated on those remarks at the Thursday press conference, saying putting a significant number of U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria would “fulfill one of (ISIS’) dearest wishes which is to drag the United States back into a ground war in that region”. While only about one in 20 military court martials for sexual assault lead to jail time, there are, you know, military court martials for sexual assault. “I hope that they don’t tell him anything”.
The poll’s assistant director, Peter A. Brown, said: “The obvious takeaway from these numbers is that Donald Trump has staged a comeback from his post-Democratic convention lows”.
In 2002, Howard Stern asked Trump if he supported the war in Iraq, and Trump said, “Yeah, I guess so”. “And I could see myself working that out”. “But we are not taking any place, anyone, anything for granted”. This, despite NBC’s billing of the event as a forum on veterans’ issues.
“Actually it’s 22. It’s nearly impossible to conceive that this is happening in this country”, he said.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could work on it together and knock the hell out of ISIS?” “Not only drugs but also alcohol”, Clinton said.
A member in the audience asked Trump how he would deescalate tension with Russian Federation.

The GOP nominee even praised President Vladimir Putin’s authority, lauding the leader’s rule over Russian Federation. “I don’t think it’s good for the nation”.
