Clinton said she would convene a meeting of bipartisan security experts on Friday to discuss the fight against Islamic State militants. Reporter: This morning president Obama is weighing in from overseas saying trump is not ready for the oval office.

ISIS and safety: Asked whether she could guarantee that the country would be safer at the end of her presidency, Clinton said that she “was not going to promise something that most thinking Americans know will be a huge challenge”.

Speaking at a news conference in Laos on Thursday, Obama says he continues to believe Trump isn’t qualified to be president and that “every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed”. That’s a sad statement.

“I’m going to make our military so big, so powerful, so strong, that nobody, absolutely nobody, is gonna mess with us”, Trump declared on his campaign website.

On the other hand, Clinton supported the coup against Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and has also said that she would take military action against Iran if it developed nuclear weapons.

“I have a lot of experience dealing with classified material”, began Clinton.

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.

Ms Clinton also defended her support for United States military intervention in Libya, despite the chaos that has consumed that country since then. She drew an implicit contrast with Trump when asked for the most important quality a commander in chief must possess. The controversial leader has praised Trump, and Trump said he would return the sentiment.

Hours before GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence was to speak Thursday at President Reagan’s library, Democrats blasted out a video of the late president’s three living children excoriating Donald Trump. “We have to do a better job of not only collecting and analyzing the intelligence we do have, but distributing it much more quickly down the ladder to state and local law enforcement”, she told Lauer. A CNN/ORC poll this week found Trump near even with Clinton among likely voters nationwide.

Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, repeatedly refused to say directly whether he had confidence in Trump as commander in chief when questioned on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.

An Associated Press Fact Check of Donald Trump’s immigration speech shows that the Republican Presidentian nominee repeated many of his campaign themes and left out key details.

There were no questions about Trump’s recently fired campaign manager and his shady, likely illegal financial ties to a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine. He said he did not learn anything, however, that changes the way he viewed his policies. Reporter: While trump would not reveal his plan.

When Lauer put forward Trump’s statement that he had more knowledge of how to beat ISIS than the generals, he described USA generals as “reduced to rubble” under Obama and presented the often-repeated but ultimately ludicrous “take the oil” plan as policy. Asked about it overnight, trump wouldn’t back down. While the candidates never appeared on stage together, their back-to-back sessions served as a preview of sorts for their upcoming debates.

But there were fears among Democratic strategists that the issue could become a sustained point of attack in the two months that remain until election day.
