Donald Trump’s speech at Trump SoHo in NY hit on these points and others tied to a central theme: Clinton is untrustworthy.

Trump made a direct appeal to supporters of Clinton’s primary rival Bernie Sanders, urging them to help him fix a “rigged system”.
“He’s got to have US$500 million to run a bare-bones campaign, and that would mean getting outspent by Hillary Clinton and her allies between 2-1 and 3-1”.
Trump also said Clinton had used bad political judgement in her four years as secretary of state, failing to stop the rise of Islamic State, keep strong sanctions on Iran or avoid chaos in Libya.
Notably, Trump made no mention of building a wall on the Mexican-American border, or temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States.
She said that if the Republican-controlled Congress does not enact reforms to end tax breaks for the wealthy, she would use her presidential authority to direct the Treasury Department to do so. Clinton later said she “misspoke”. “We need to make sure our economy works for everyone”, Clinton said, challenging the economic policies of the billionaire from NY.
Asked to elaborate, Andrade, who’s a member of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, replied: “In her position as secretary of state and senator here in NY, she didn’t really do much”.
Clinton also invoked her religion a day after Trump questioned it.
Clinton, who has spoken and written about her faith, on Wednesday retorted with a quote from John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.
Clinton will be speaking shortly after Trump’s address on Clinton’s qualifications for president. Trump had some pretty harsh words for the former Secretary of State during a speech given on Tuesday to evangelical leaders in New York City.
Hillary Clinton largely ignored Donald Trump’s attacks on her in a speech she gave in North Carolina on Wednesday afternoon, hours after Trump used a speech in NY to rip into her on all fronts.
“The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and trillions of dollars and unleashed ISIS across the world”, Trump said.
Warren has fashioned herself into the party’s top Trump attacker, and endorsed Clinton this month.
Now, running against her, he accused her of perfecting “the politics of personal profit and theft”.
As a white man, Kaine wouldn’t provide racial diversity or make for a historic two-woman ticket.
Shortly after Trump’s NY speech, Hillary launched into her own policy speech/diatribe in Raleigh, North Carolina.
She went after him two days ago in a new video she cut for lefty group MoveOn.org. I think she has the right economic policies and she is the most experienced candidate for the job.
His stature appears to have grown now that Clinton leads Trump by an average of almost 6 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average.
Clinton, meanwhile, will lay out “ambitious new goals” on the economy in a speech in Raleigh, N.C., while following up on an earlier address in which she said Trump would lead the country into a recession.
“We’ve lost almost one-third of our manufacturing jobs since these two Hillary-backed agreements were signed”, Trump said. Economists on the left, right and center all agree his risky economic policies would throw us back into recession and hurt working families costing almost 3.5 million American jobs, that’s a fact. He says it is a job-killer and ineffective. But he also twice declined the US military’s offer of a special operations team to bolster security and otherwise help his staff.
He specifically took her and Bill Clinton to task for taking millions from Saudi Arabia and other countries that criminalize homosexuality.
President Barack Obama also said the blame ultimately rested on his shoulders as president.

“She said: ‘I know the difference between having the House and not having the House, and I want the House”, recalled Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. Two: “Hillary Clinton’s message is old and exhausted”.
