Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton clashed over national security again on Friday, with Trump calling his Democratic rival “trigger-happy” and Clinton arguing his proposals would make the world a more risky place.

Putin has called the hack of Democratic officials’ email accounts a “public service” but has denied Russian involvement. You tell me: “Who hacked?”

“My heart sunk when I heard this”, Kaine said. Johnson would need to earn 15% support in polls to make the stage, an effort seemingly hampered when he failed to identify the war-torn city of Aleppo, Syria, in a live television interview.

Among Democrats’ concerns is the fact that Clinton spent a great deal of time over the summer raising millions of dollars in private fundraisers – while Trump was devoting much of his schedule to rallies, speeches and TV appearances. “I’d rather it be Hillary and myself, because we’re the only two with a chance of winning”.

The GOP ticket’s applauding of Putin’s leadership as “stronger” than President Obama’s, Kaine added, “betrays an irrationality and an – a hostility to the president that’s unpatriotic”. Tim Kaine of Virginia, sharpened his attacks on the Republican ticket early Friday, telling “CBS This Morning” in an interview that Donald Trump and Mike Pence have shown an “irrational hostility” to President Obama in their praise for Vladimir Putin.

“Generally, I’m concerned, frankly”, said former Democratic Senate leader Thomas Daschle of South Dakota.

Donald Trump has told a Kremlin-funded TV network “it’s probably unlikely” that Russian Federation is trying to influence the USA election. “If they want to join us in knocking out ISIS, that’s just fine as far as I’m concerned”.
