The Democratic nominee, locked in a battle for the presidency with Donald Trump, also blasted her Republican rival for encouraging Moscow to spy on her.
When #Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president, not many in the media gave him a realistic shot at success. John McCain’s war-hero status and his fight with the Muslim parents of an American soldier killed in combat. It was a near-encounter that even forced the Trump press corps to the side of the road as Clinton’s motorcade whizzed by. First, we are going to eliminate every unconstitutional executive order and restore the rule of law to our land.
“We don’t come to this decision easily”, the editorial board wrote, noting that it’s been critical of Hillary Clinton’s “handling of certain issues in the past”.

Clinton aides, who asked for anonymity while talking about strategy, said the focus on national security is part of a confluence of important dates and forums with Trump.
Kaine, in his first major policy speech since being tapped as Clinton’s running mate, was drawing a contrast between how Trump would approach U.S. relations with Russian Federation and Clinton’s track record as head of the U.S. State Department from 2009 to 2013, during Barack Obama’s first term as president.
Kaine, a senator from Virginia and former governor, is a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committee. Many national security experts from past Republican administrations have declared him unfit for the Oval Office.
He says Hillary Clinton, like any president, needs a “solid partner” in the White House.
Dismissing Clinton’s attacks, Trump repeated his vow to work with Putin to “solve the problem” posed by the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria, while Clinton said she would do “whatever it takes” to defeat IS.
However, his campaign would not say how Trump plans to bypass what is known as the Budget Control Act of 2011, Bloomberg reported.
Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump was “dead wrong” for saying his tax returns were not the concern of everyday Americans, despite every major presidential nominee since Richard Nixon releasing their taxes before the election.
At a campaign rally at the University of South Florida, Clinton also harshly criticised Trump’s recent trip to Mexico, characterising it as an “embarrassing global incident” that ended with a “Twitter war with the President of Mexico”, EFE news reported. Far fewer say the focus of USA immigration policy should be on deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally, just 11 percent rate that as a top priority. In the meantime, he said veterans waiting for care could go to private doctors or hospitals and the government would pick up the bill. “And when you have such large numbers of people who then see candidates and ideas that are in front of them, anything can happen”.
Trump’s campaign also on Tuesday released a letter signed by 88 former USA military leaders who are supporting the NY businessman’s unorthodox candidacy. “Not on my watch”, she said.
She pointed to her endorsements from retired Marine General John Allen, who blasted Trump at the Democratic National Committee, and former Central Intelligence Agency deputy director Mike Morell.
Very likely, they would show that Trump has a great deal of debt owned by foreign interests that don’t necessarily share his America First views.

Today’s historic endorsement marks the first time since World War II that a Democrat has earned the nod from the Lone Star State paper – “more than 75 years and almost 20 elections”, they point out.
