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 risky place.

“Hillary, they are not a basket of anything, they are Americans, and they deserve your respect”, Pence said in an address to the Values Voters Summit in Washington. “I regret saying ‘half” – that was wrong”, Clinton said in a statement, only partially walking back her argument that the Republican nominee has many followers who are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic”. “Unfortunately there are people like that”.
Responding to a question, Trump called Clinton a “bad person” and alleged that she would be a “disaster” for evangelicals. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric.
Now some of these folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.
The fact was acknowledged by the Trump campaign in its latest fund raising statement.
“One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans”. A tisket, a tasket, Hillary’s in a basket.
“These are the desperate attacks of a flailing campaign sinking in the polls, and characteristics of someone woefully unfit for the presidency of the United States”, Jason Miller, the candidate’s senior communications adviser, said in the statement. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. She’s a person has done a frightful job.
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn’t lose voters, okay?” the pompous real estate mogul said at an Iowa rally in January.
As reported by The Hill on September 9, Clinton spoke at a NY fundraiser and didn’t hold back her thoughts about the Republican nominee and his supporters.
Clinton said she will convene a national security meeting Friday with former advisers to Presidents Obama and George W. Bush, including Homeland Security Secretaries Michael Chertoff and Janet Napolitano, and retired Navy admiral Jim Stavridis.
It was also strategic: Donald Trump was out on the campaign trail drawing negative headlines almost every day, and there was no reason to risk a gaffe or controversial remark that might get in the way of that.
Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Clinton suggested she agreed with Democrats who say she is being held to a different standard in the White House race.
Trump noted that Schlafly rooted for the underdog, and “the idea that so-called little people, or the little person that she loved so much, could beat the system – often times, the rigged system”.
“He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party”, Clinton said in Reno, Nevada.
“Obviously not everyone supporting Trump is part of the alt right, but alt right leaders are with Trump”, Merrill said on Twitter.
“I’ve learned to be grateful not just for my blessings but also for my faults, and there are plenty”, she said, noting the importance of humility among leaders.

They are more likely to describe Africans Americans as “criminal”, “unintelligent”, “lazy”, and “violent”. Clinton stressed the rest of Trump’s supporters feel let down by the government and economy. “I’d rather it be Hillary and myself, because we’re the only two with a chance of winning”.
