Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton each fielded 30 minutes of questions about their experience and judgment to be commander in chief.

The Republican presidential nominee will demonstrate his commitment to social conservatives seeking to undermine LGBT rights, while the Democratic vice presidential nominee will address a largely LGBT audience seeking to advance and protect those rights. “I just don’t know where he’s coming from on foreign policy and on economics and on Obamacare”, Pence said in San Diego, according to CNN.

But Trump was unflinchingly critical of Clinton over the latest disclosures from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about her use of a private email server and destruction of thousands of emails that she and her staff had deemed of a personal nature. Barry Goldwater in 1964, said without exception that “Donald Trump is no Republican”. Trump initially supported invading Iraq and deposing Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

On Shepard Smith Reporting, Republican strategist Tony Sayegh said the editorial and a recent Washington Post survey labeling the traditionally-Republican Lone Star State a toss-up were likely outliers.

“Boy, would he like to see her” as president, Trump said, deriding Clinton’s foreign policy platform as “a loser”.

The Republican presidential nominee is delivering a speech in Philadelphia outlining his plans to expand the military.

He says that he wants “a stable, peaceful world with less conflict and more common ground”.

The ad, called “Sacrifice”, shows military veterans watching clips of provocative statements by Trump, including his claim to know more about the Islamic State group than military generals and his criticism of Arizona Sen.

He says any efforts will require military intervention as well as cyber, financial and ideological warfare.

In 2012, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney skipped the Values Voter Summit in the year he challenged President Obama for the White House. “They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country”.

Trump, in a speech on Wednesday in Cleveland, is to lay out a military preparedness plan in which he will call for rescinding mandatory defense spending cuts and embarking on a major military buildup. And he would ask the joint chiefs of staff to conduct a review of the nation’s cyber defenses to determine all vulnerabilities.

The announcement came as the two candidates prepared for a national security forum on Wednesday night.

By virtue of a coin flip, Clinton took the stage first and quickly found herself responding at length to questions about her years in government.

In an open letter, 88 retired military generals and admirals pledged their support for Donald Trump.

Among Clinton’s new supporters is retired General Lloyd Newton who served in the Air Force.

Trump’s address comes hours before his national security acumen is tested at a “commander in chief” forum on NBC. Much like Hillary Clinton or Vice President Joseph Biden on the day of last year’s HRC dinner, Kaine might discuss his support for the Equality Act, undoing the “dishonorable discharges” of US troops discharged for being gay or barring widely discredited “ex-gay” conversion therapy. The Trump Foundation check was received days after Bondi’s office told a newspaper it was deliberating whether to join a multi-state lawsuit against Trump University.
