“The most important topics – gun violence and college affordability – I think that she has really laid out what she’s going to do”.
An applicant’s ideology must be considered when deciding whether or not they should be allowed to immigrate to the US, Trump said, adding that Clinton would refuse to consider someone’s world view.
Trump has sought to tie Clinton to the decisions of the Obama administration.
The Saturday explosions are thrusting national security concerns back to the fore of the 2016 presidential race.
Trump fired back by saying Clinton bore some responsibility for the violence by not persuading President Barack Obama to leave a residual force of USA troops in Iraq when she was his secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
Clinton campaign aides fault the media and Trump for the dip in her support among younger voters. “Nothing she says or does can ever un-ring that bell”.
Donald Trump on Monday renewed his calls for curbing immigration from countries where “safe and adequate screening can not occur”, citing recent bombings in NY and New Jersey as proof that the government wasn’t doing enough to keep Americans safe.
The Republican nominee also mentioned the suspect in Saturday’s bombings in NY and New Jersey, calling Ahmad Khan Rahami – a United States citizen who was born in Afghanistan – an “evil thug”. Trump said that Clinton will continue with failed policies, and that’s why it’s imperative to elect a leader who will “get tough”. “I couldn’t say that electing Mitt Romney would be an unmitigated disaster”.
“Knock the hell out of ’em, ” Trump said on “Fox and Friends” in a telephone interview. “I am absolutely in favor and have always been an advocate for tough vetting”, she said – but “let’s remember what happened on 9/11” – the attackers were not refugees, but here on visas.

On Monday, he called for tougher policing, including profiling foreigners who look like they could have connections to terrorism or certain Middle Eastern nations.
“We must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people”, he said. I know that we’ve got American military personnel in the region, in Iraq, fighting ISIS, on the ground in Syria. Her weakness, her ineffectiveness, caused the problem.
She regularly rebukes Trump for his impulsive style, pressing the theme that he is unfit to be president. On Sunday, Islamic State claimed responsibility, calling the man “a soldier”, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was investigating the attack as a potential act of terrorism. Clinton’s campaign has a robust millennial outreach staff meant to reach the younger end of the electorate – students in school, millennials out of school and in the workforce, young parents, and young people who don’t attend college and are looking for blue collar careers. The media has given a lot of coverage Trump’s rhetoric, which Audelo said has made it hard for Clinton’s message to break through. I’ve had a couple calls today from people with their own ideas about how you ought to respond to this. Clinton said in an August speech that she would treat a cyberattack from an adversary “like any other attack” against the United States.
Clinton urged Americans not to fear.
