Hillary Clinton: insists she had not been careless with classified information.

Trump, who earlier in the day proposed a massive increase in USA military spending, said the military’s leadership “has been reduced to rubble” under the Obama administration.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, pledging a major new military buildup, and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton get a chance on Wednesday to show how they would lead the US armed forces as commander-in-chief.
It’s key for Trump to prove he has what it takes to be commander-in-chief, perhaps moreso than Clinton, who has her State Department experience to fall back on.
Facing pushback over his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign defended the GOP nominee’s interview on the Russian TV network, RT, Friday. “He’s been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”, Trump said.
Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed over national security again on Friday, with Trump calling his Democratic rival “trigger-happy” and Clinton arguing his proposals would make the world a more unsafe place. “And I’m confident that our military commanders can bring forward the ideas once the commander in chief makes the mission clear, and Donald Trump has made the mission clear”.
Trump then went on to talk about how we should look to have a healthy relationship with not only Russian Federation, but the rest of the world.
The White House said it had no comment on Trump’s remarks.
But Clinton also offered a more sharply defined vision for the wielding of American power than Trump who, pardon the pun, often seemed lost at sea during his allotted screen-time.
Trump, who’s been criticized for his controversial relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, praised Putin for being a “better leader” than President Obama.
“I have been somewhat heartened by the number articles recently about the quite disparate treatment of Trump and his campaign compared to ours”.
Trump’s only interest is putting attention on himself, and he is willing to take very exotic positions in order to sustain this attention,
Fraley said.
The Republican nominee said Schlafly was “there for me when it was not at all fashionable”. She also fleshed out several national security priorities if she is elected, including trying to take out the leader of the Islamic State and vowing to defeat the extremist group without putting US troops on the ground in Iraq or Syria.
“I think it’s probably unlikely”. “We have to squeeze them by continuing to support – the Iraqi military”. Clinton called the North Korea test “outrageous and unacceptable”, saying she supports imposing additional USA and United Nations sanctions. “I have absolutely no opinion on that”.
Clinton has repeatedly voiced support for a so-called no-fly zone in northern Syria, marking one of her most significant policy differences with President Obama. She contrasted her stance to that of her opponent, who claims to have been against the war despite publicly supporting it in a 2002 interview with Howard Stern. She did not mention it during Thursday morning’s press availability, either.

She added: “So can I say I was surprised? I won’t take anything seriously that comes from the RNC”.
