The money will help bankroll Clinton’s large advertising campaign in battleground states that will help determine the outcome of the 2016 election, along with the large get-out-the-vote operation that her team has been assembling across the country. Republican strategists say Clinton should have been more prepared for that to happen in the general election.
Also on Wednesday, Clinton’s campaign announced that 95 retired generals and admirals have endorsed her presidential bid, one day after a group of 88 retired generals and admirals signed an open letter backing Trump to reverse the “hollowing out” of the USA military.
The Republican presidential nominee insisted during a presidential forum Wednesday night that he has a private blueprint for defeating the extremist group.
On Tuesday night, Mr Trump also courted controversy over sex abuse in the military.
Trump praised Putin’s reported 82 percent approval rating in Russian Federation, even calling him “a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”.
Clinton: She said the United States chose to put together an global coalition that included Russian Federation and China to exert pressure through sanctions so that Iran would roll back its nuclear programme.
Trump said he stood by it: “It is a correct tweet”.
Part of the problem plaguing the USA is that it goes to war and “then we don’t know what we’re doing after that, he said”.
Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Mrs. Clinton contrasting her experience with Mr. Trump’s unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans anxious about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect Mr. Obama’s former secretary of state. Asked to square his request for military options with that criticism, Trump said simply: “They’ll probably be different generals”.
“I have been somewhat heartened by the number of articles recently pointing out the quite disparate treatment of Trump and his campaign compared to ours”, she said.
Some of those Republicans will join Clinton Friday for what she dubbed a “working session” on the threat of terrorism. “It’s been an issue that in Israel has been raised – why isn’t the term used in American politics right now?”
The national security debate came as Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson drew attention for a foreign policy flub.
In a press conference Thursday morning, Clinton told reporters that the forum was “yet another test and Donald Trump failed yet again”.
271-a-18-(Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state, Democratic presidential nominee, in broadcast of Commander-in-Chief Presidential Forum)-“from the mistakes”-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was asked to consider Iraq War veterans, and explain why she says the war they fought in was a mistake”. While she may be referring to the 2011 military intervention specifically, the claim more broadly is not true. (This assertion has been repeatedly debunked).
“We want to deter, avoid and prevent conflict through our unquestioned military strength”, Trump declared of his Democratic opponent in his Wednesday speech, delivered inside the exclusive Union League of Philadelphia, which first allowed women in 1986.
“Republicans are just in a awful dilemma trying to support a totally unqualified nominee, I have no sympathy for them, it’s their nominee”, she said.

The former secretary of state chastized Trump for his comments on the confidential intelligence briefings he has received as the nominee, calling his remarks “totally inappropriate”. He replied, “Yeah, I guess so”.
