She even called Trump unpatriotic for this remark about Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

At NBC’s commander-in-chief forum Wednesday night, Trump was asked about his recent intelligence briefings and he suggested security officials specializing in Iraq, Iran and Russian Federation just aren’t happy with the Obama administration.
In her first press conference in 278 days, Hillary Clinton charged that ISIS supports Donald Trump.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, leads in Pennsylvania, 48 to 43 percent, and in North Carolina by a margin of 47 to 43 percent, the Quinnipiac University pollfound.
US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said, “I would never comment on any aspect of an intelligence briefing I received”. “I know my husband and I will be home … so certainly we’ll be particularly grateful when I look down at my children that we are safer now”. A new NBC/Survey Monkey poll, taken before the town hall, shows Trump leading Clinton by nearly 20 points among military and veteran voters. All told, since launching her campaign, Clinton’s raised $327 million and spent $268 million. It was no different on Wednesday, which was the first time the same audience heard from both candidates, one after the other.
The money will help bankroll Clinton’s large advertising campaign in battleground states that will help determine the outcome of the 2016 election, along with the large get-out-the-vote operation that her team has been assembling across the country. “The hashtag “#LaueringTheBar” was trending on Twitter Wednesday night.
Another moment that stirred up controversy was when Trump stood by a 2013 tweet in which he seemed to suggest military sexual assault is simply expected if women choose to serve.
Instead, Trump spoke in vague terms about a plan for ISIS he says he won’t reveal for strategic reasons (“The word is unpredictable”) and about what he would do in the Middle East (“Take the oil”) – comments Clinton seized on Thursday morning.
Clinton made the claim on Israel’s Channel 2, saying Trump had been “giving aid and comfort to their evil ambitions”.

Clinton reiterated that she had made mistakes in relying on a personal email account and private server as secretary of state and in voting for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a senator.
