Trump has yet to offer a concrete proposal for combating ISIS.

It would be paid for by lifting congressionally mandated spending caps and launching a new round of budget reforms to save money.
Voters under 45 overwhelmingly favour Ms Clinton – 54 percent to 29 – while those numbers are pretty much reversed for older voters.
Both campaigns have taken different approaches to preparing for the debates.
Instead of laying out a Middle East strategy, Trump “bizarrely” praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested the strongman is a stronger leader that US President Barack Obama, she said. Trump denied backing the war when it first started – though he did support it – before turning against the Iraq war months later.
“‘Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we’re in, ‘” said Trump, quoting the magazine. “I never thought I’d see the day where this has happened to our country”, he added.
Neither candidate had an advantage when it came to national security, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling in August.
Trump said he will also support merit-pay for teachers, so that great teachers are rewarded instead of the failed tenure system that now exists, which rewards bad teachers and punishes good ones. One poll indicates that Clinton holds 45.4 percent of the vote, while Trump has 42.2 percent.
Hillary Clinton attempted Saturday to walk back her remark that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are sexist, racist and homophobic and “irredeemable”, saying she regretted saying “half”.
“As the first woman to be a major party nominee, Clinton is forging new ground”.
And while that’s good news for her Republican opponent, it might not be good enough. Trump said he knew more about the jihadist organization than the military and when asked how he would use that information, he was evasive when he said, “If I win, I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is”. “Can he handle having his finger on the big red button?'” Yepsen said.
Clinton trying to explain away her email troubles: “And for all the viewers watching here tonight, I have a lot of experience dealing with classified materials, starting when I was on the Senate Armed Services Committee, going into the four years as secretary of State”. Aside from the students, Trump also said that he would support merit-pay for teachers.
“This is like Watergate, only it’s worse because here our foreign enemies were in a position to hack our most sensitive national security secrets”.

While Trump and his advisers have argued that Clinton did not learn from the mistakes of the Iraq War, which she voted for as a senator, and drove the United States into another blunder by arguing in favor of military intervention in Libya, Trump supported both of those military interventions.
