“They are gaming the ref, that is what they are doing”, Trump said.
Some have publicly supported Clinton’s candidacy, but the list also includes prominent Republicans and nine officials who served in the George W. Bush administration, including former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz. I won’t get into classified information, but I have sat at that table in the Situation Room, I have analyzed the threats, I have contributed to actions that have neutralized our enemies.
Authorities have not broached any possibility of a connection to the Russian government following bombings in NY and New Jersey that injured 29 people.
Trump fired back in a statement, saying we have to “get tough fast” to make sure attacks like the bombings on the East Coast and the mass stabbing at a Minnesota mall don’t “become the new normal”.
An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said. He was identified as Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28.

Over the weekend in various appearances throughout Ohio, Sanders urged his supporters not to support the third-party options available in this election as Clinton has seen her numbers among young voters get peeled away by Libertarian Gary Johnson and Jill Stein of the Green Party. She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with the Islamic State, are rooting for Trump to win the White House.
Clinton briefly turned her focus from national security on Monday, wooing younger voters at a midday rally at a Philadelphia university.

‘I need you as partners, not just for winning this election, but for driving real change, ‘ she said today at a Temple University event her campaign said would emphasize the ‘stakes of the election for millennials’.
