She also mentioned his past support for increased nuclear proliferation, taking out the families of terrorists and defaulting on the national debt, and mocked his remark that his primary consultant on foreign policy issues is himself, because he has a “very good brain”.

Shortly after the polls close in New Jersey around 8 p.m. next Tuesday, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton will surpass the 2,383 delegates she needs to claim the mantle of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
In all, Clinton has collected more than $240 million for the nomination battle and has raised more than $62 million for party committees. The argument that she is making goes right to the heart of what Trump is campaigning on.
Schiff said one outcome of intelligence agencies’ worries about Trump’s reputation as a loose cannon could be that briefers circumscribe some of the information they provide to Trump and Hillary Clinton, his prospective Democratic opponent.
Sanders has not yet released his fundraising totals for May, but the Vermont senator started last month running short of cash.
She will argue that Trump’s statement that he would be willing to talk to Kim Jong Un, made in a Reuters interview in May, has only emboldened the North Korean leader, Sullivan said.
“This is a man who said more countries should have nuclear weapons, including Saudi Arabia”, Clinton said. “That’s where Jerry Brown is – it’s where most of us are”.
“I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for tyrants”, said Clinton.
While she and her advisers clearly are anxious about the possibility of a humiliating defeat in California next week, Clinton is continuing to focus her attacks on Trump.
At a rally Wednesday night in Sacramento, California, Trump said he had seen a copy of Clinton’s speech and “it was such lies about my foreign policy”. Reading poorly from the telepromter!
At one point, she even said that a “Trump presidency could lead to a global economic crisis”, citing his willingness to default on the USA debt and “bizarre fascination with dictators and strong men who have no love for America”. Indeed, the speech was structured as a traditional campaign policy address, with Clinton laying out her ideas and contrasting them with her opponents’.
“He said the other day he’ll do everything possible to defeat Donald Trump”, Clinton said during the Tuesday interview.
She says his vision for America is “all wrong”. “I wonder why Secretary Clinton and her husband, Bill, are back in California?”
Intelligence and other security and foreign policy officials are also trying to determine “who on (Trump’s) team are trustworthy, the official added”.
“He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant”.
“To the degree that you want to give any credibility to the concept of superdelegates, what a superdelegate is supposed to do is look around and say, ‘Okay, my job is to make sure that Democrats do well”.
Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump as “temperamentally unfit” to be president in a speech today.
Trump has criticized Clinton for her handling of foreign policy during her 2009-2013 stint as foreign secretary, including the September 11, 2012, attack by Islamist militants on a US diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the USA ambassador and three other Americans.
The likely Democratic nominee for president is casting Trump as thin-skinned, irrational and unprepared to be commander in chief. He said that Trump would “take us to nuclear war”.
He’s also said he would work to stop Trump from being the next president.
Both Clinton and Trump are facing record low favorability ratings.

“Imagine if he had not just his Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry but America’s entire arsenal”, she continued.
