Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clash over national security

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled a list of 88 retired staff and flag officers backing his bid to become commander in chief, a direct response to a flurry of high-profile military-themed endorsements by his Democratic rival in recent weeks.

Clinton’s campaign is spending big to undercut Trump’s message in a new TV ad also released Tuesday entitled, “Sacrifice”.

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.

Clinton’s campaign is working to exploit her advantage on the nuclear issue. The billionaire businessman appeared to shy away from his hard-line vow to block “amnesty” for immigrants in the country illegally.

Clinton is promoting a pathway to citizenship for numerous 11 million people living in the shadows, while Trump wants to curtail immigration and require that those who wish to gain legalized status must leave the country first.

Clinton powered through a coughing fit at a Labor Day festival at a Cleveland park, sharply criticizing Trump’s recent trip to Mexico as “an embarrassing global incident”. “And when you have such large numbers of people who then see candidates and ideas that are in front of them, anything can happen”.

The former Secretary of State is feeling the heat, too.

Earlier this summer, FBI Director James B. Comey criticized Clinton for being careless but said her conduct did not rise to a criminal act and advised the Justice Department not to file charges in the matter. Shame on you, Donald Trump. It’s the first time the newspaper has supported a Democratic candidate since before World War II. No Republican has won the White House without carrying the state, and the airport offered vivid imagery of that crucial role.

His own temperament, Trump said, was his “single greatest asset” and not the national security danger that Clinton alleges.

She also pointed to the ongoing investigation of his Trump University, and the accusations that his foundation donated to a group close to Florida’s attorney general as the official’s staff was reviewing accusations that had been made against Trump’s school in the suit.

“You’ll hear a lot about OH, of course. We’re going to be here a lot”.

Clinton shot back by recalling Trump’s meeting with Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto and their clash over Trump’s plan to have Mexico pay for a border wall. While they will appear separately and not be on stage at the same time, it could serve as a warm-up to their highly-anticipated first presidential debate on Sep. Women prefer Ms Clinton 53 to 38 per cent, while men favor Trump 54 to 32 per cent. Voters younger than 45 give Ms Clinton an edge (54 percent to 29 per cent for Mr Trump), while non-whites favour Ms Clinton by nearly four-to-one, poll results showed.

Trump assured veterans in Virginia Beach that he was in their corner, and used the opportunity to slam Clinton’s ineffectiveness as a top diplomat and politician.

“Hillary can lose OH and still win because she’s going to win Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado”, and other swing states where she has built deep ground operations, Brown added.
