Christie went on to criticize the nuclear deal with Iran, Clinton’s dealings with Russian Federation, and called her a “coddler of the brutal Castro brothers” in criticizing the Obama administration’s reopening of diplomatic relations with Cuba. “She was America’s chief diplomat, so let’s look around the world in every region that has been infected by her judgment”.

Hillary Clinton promised not to raise taxes on the middle class and compared the first night of the Republican National Convention to the movie “The Wizard of Oz” while campaigning in Las Vegas at separate events Tuesday.
“We are going to work together to turn back the tide, the tide of negativity, the tide of bias and bigotry and bullying”, Clinton said. The analysis did not include mentions of “she” or “her” upon subsequent references, which would have added hundreds more to the total, particularly with chants of “Lock her up” becoming a common refrain.
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told delegates at the Republican National Convention that Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server should disqualify her from becoming president.
Trump himself briefly appeared in a videotaped statement: “This is a movement, but we have to go all the way”, he said.
He said “93 percent of the speech was unlike anything Michelle Obama said and some of the things she said eight years ago aren’t groundbreaking things for wives to say about their husbands and families”.
Many delegates responded by chanting “lock her up, lock her up”, while others brandished “Hillary for Prison” signs.
Tuesday night’s address was the second RNC speech of Christie’s career.
Christie was reportedly on Trump’s short list for vice president before the billionaire picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said Clinton represents a third term of Barack Obama’s presidency instead of the “clean break from a failed system”.
“Is she guilty or not guilty”, Christie asked repeatedly.
