In a direct comparison to her challenger, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump who received his first national security briefings in the past few weeks, the former secretary of state said she’s “the only candidate in this race who has been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield”. “I have sat at that table in the Situation Room”. “Optimism, not resentment; answers, not anger; ideas, not insults; bridges, not walls”, she said.

An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said.
It may be seen as a exhausted history at this point by many baby boomers, who have watched Clinton on the national stage for most of their adult lives. “And, number three, he said that, ‘President Obama was born in this country, period'”.
In the 24 hours after Trump promoted his new hotel while exploiting a group of decorated veterans as a backdrop and then invented a new lie by blaming the “birther” conspiracy he peddled for years on Hillary Clinton’s, the pattern looked ready to repeat itself.
Trump, who has based much of his campaign message on arguing that the United States is no longer safe and that he alone can protect the nation, told Fox News on Monday morning that he expects more attacks. They will take that person and they’ll check out – do we have a choice?
“We must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people”, he said. “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”, Trump said.

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy”, Trump said on Friday. She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with the Islamic State, are rooting for Trump to win the White House.
Clinton is returning to Philadelphia, where her convention was held, for a speech at Temple University to try making her case to millennial voters.
Both candidates tried to use the attacks to flex their national security credentials, with world leaders gathering in security-heightened NY for the annual United Nations General Assembly.
In a new Morning Consult survey conducted September 15 and September 16, Clinton leads the Republican nominee, 42 percent to 40 percent – within the margin of error – among likely voters, while 8 percent opted for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and 3 percent chose Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The events came as both candidates were dealing with missteps.

“Improvements in the economy, (President Barack) Obama’s approval ratings and support from college-educated voters support Clinton, while voters with low trust in the political system and confidence in the USA economy support Trump”, Citi added.
