I have already said, he is really very much of a leader. The shock, for me, was the realization that most Americans inhabit a very different news environment than professional journalists. But her judgment has been called into question regarding that email server, and a veteran in the crowd told her she had “clearly corrupted our national security”, and that if he had mishandled classified information similarly “I would have been prosecuted and imprisoned”.

On Tuesday night, Trump promised to convene his military commanders soon after taking office with “a simple instruction” aimed at the Islamic State group.
Trump was asked at a presidential town hall how he would de-escalate tensions between the US and Russian Federation if he’s elected to the White House. “You know what Donald, this is real reality, this is real people, these are real decisions that have to be made for our country”. You have to go after that person.
– Trump said he has regrets as a politician. If Clinton came across as defensive, Trump came across as lacking substance.
Clinton is looking to rebound after a rocky start in OH yesterday, where she suffered a almost two-minute-long coughing fit.
A flood of Republican national security experts have instead chosen to back Clinton, helping bolster her case that Trump is broadly unacceptable.
“The veterans will get a chance to ask these candidates their own questions”. “We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again and we are not putting ground troops into Syria”. “If I win, I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is”.
By virtue of a coin flip, Clinton took the stage first. “Her claim that no lives were lost in Libya was an insult to the memory of the four fearless Americans who died in Benghazi”, spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement.
In contrast, only 35 percent of military and veteran voters said they would be confident in former Secretary of State Clinton’s ability to serve as Commander in Chief; 64 percent said they would not.

“This is not about Democrat or Republican”, said retired Air Force General Lloyd “Fig” Newton in a statement.
Clinton’s use of a private email account is perhaps the most litigated subject of the presidential campaign.
Speaking in Philadelphia, the Republican presidential candidate told supporters that he would ask his generals within the first 30 days of his presidency to craft a roadmap to the IS group’s annihilation.
That was the theme of Donald Trump’s master plan for how he would keep the Middle East from reigniting after he swiftly dispatches the Islamic State as president.
“I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing America’s core national interests, promoting regional stability, and producing an easing of tensions in the world. We need a new modern electric grid to be able to take in clean, renewable energy that can then move us toward that future we seek”, she added. Republicans and Democrats voted for the automatic, across-the board cuts that affected both military and domestic programs.
Lauer asked Trump about a tweet he posted in 2013.
A senior adviser said ahead of the speech that Trump would make sure the additional spending was fully paid for but did not explain how.

The United States now spends more than $600 billion a year on the military, more than the next seven countries combined.
