But in the wake of a performance at Wednesday night’s NBC “Commander-in-Chief Forum” that some observers saw as sub-par, Clinton appeared to have decided it was finally time to meet the demands of her press corps.

Another questioned Clinton’s trustworthiness after he claimed her emails compromised national security.
In the NBC forum, Clinton argued that “rock steadiness” was required of the commander-in-chief, suggesting Trump did not possess that quality.
Still, Clinton maintained she never mishandled classified information.
Smiling easiliy as she turned back to the microphone, Clinton said what most people who are paying attention to this race are thinking, “Every day that goes by, this just becomes more and more of a reality television show”.
“Seriously – everyone, and I mean everyone, knew this would happen”.
When asked about her 2002 vote to send troops to Iraq, Clinton admitted that, too, was a mistake. Trump then attacked President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Obama’s first secretary of state, for their roles in the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.
“I think that when you serve in the armed forces, that’s a very special situation”, Trump said. “We don’t need to raise almost as much as Clinton, who needs the money to support her negative advertising”, he told CNBC in a phone interview.
Donald Trump will call for eliminating the sequester on defense spending and bolstering the US’ defenses by proposing a “major investment” in United States military spending in a speech Wednesday morning, his campaign announced Tuesday. Asked to square his request for military options with that criticism, Trump said simply: “They’ll probably be different generals”.
Last December he said it was “a great honour” when Putin called him “a talented person”.
Among all registered voters, 59 percent would not be confident in his ability to serve as commander-in-chief of the military and just 39 percent would feel confident.
Mr Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton was also quick to respond, quoting Mr Trump’s response to Mr Lauer.
“We have had the worst and you could even say the dumbest foreign policy”, Trump said, while offering no specific policies.
“The man has very strong control over a country”, Trump told the audience. “That’s a huge symbolic recruitment message that we should pull from them.I also believe that Baghdadi is a central figure in the promulgation of this ideology”, she said.
Trump said at the event that they had been “reduced to rubble” serving Obama. He both insisted he has a private blueprint for defeating the extremist group and that he would demand a plan from military leaders within 30 days of taking office. “I can say this, the number of rapes in the military are through the roof”. “If I win, I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is”.
Clinton easily made a fool of Donald Trump.

During a national security forum, the Republican presidential nominee said the issue was a “massive problem”. If they knew it was going to air on RT, Trump wouldn’t have done the interview, Miller said.
