Clinton promised young people a “seat at the table” if she’s elected and urged them to “get off the sidelines” and vote for her as a rejection of Republican Donald Trump.

“Hillary Clinton’s weakness while she was Secretary of State, has emboldened terrorists all over the world to attack the USA, even on our own soil”.
“In fact, Hillary Clinton talks tougher about my supporters than she does about Islamic terrorists, right?”
“We don’t want to do any profiling, ” he said of current USA policy. That’s why I’ve been very clear: “We’re going after the bad guys, and we’re going to get them, but we’re not going to go after an entire religion and give ISIS exactly what it is wanting”, said Clinton.
Notably, as Trump pointed out to Fox and Friends, Hillary Clinton also used the word “bombings” when she spoke to reporters on her campaign plane about two hours after the explosion, saying that she had “been briefed about bombings in NY and New Jersey”.
Clinton touted her national security credentials at a hastily arranged news conference outside her campaign plane, accusing Trump of using the incidents to make “some kind of demagogic point”.
Trump has boasted of his endorsements from the main organisation representing US Border Patrol Agents and the nation’s largest police union, as well as from more than 160 former generals and admirals.
As Trump supporters at a packed rally in Florida shouted “Hang him!” the Republican presidential candidate mocked the fact that Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old US citizen originally from Afghanistan, would receive quality medical care and legal representation.
Clinton said it’s Trump who has no solution for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
“Even all these years later, I confess I don’t enjoy doing some of the things that come naturally to some politicians, like talking about myself”, she said while recounting a conversation with a 17-year-old that helped to prod her into her 2000 Senate bid. Clinton said the election “shouldn’t be about birth certificates or name-calling or stunts to get on the cable news”, a reference to Trump’s pronouncement Friday that he now believes President Barack Obama was born in the USA, after years of perpetuating the lie that Obama was born elsewhere. Trump’s rhetoric has been a “distraction”, Sarah Audelo, Clinton’s millennial vote director, said.
However, Trump did not offer a specific plan. “For these events to be occurring with the frequency they do may be read by many as a failure of the current administration and particularly its foreign policy team to effectively deal with the problem”, he said.
“We’re not knocking them, we’re hitting them once in a while; we’re hitting them in certain places”. We’re going to go back and forth. Trump called Putin a stronger leader than Obama, rattling both Democrats and Republicans in Washington.
Three of the latest national polls – all conducted before the attacks this weekend – had Clinton leading when respondents were asked whom they trust to handle the issue of terrorism.
He also said his plan as president was to “knock the hell” out of the so-called Islamic State, stop being “gentle” and have law enforcement engage in profiling to prevent militant attacks.
He said: “This isn’t just something that I developed overnight” because of the attacks.
During a trip to the Philippines last November, Obama said Republicans were serving as ISIS recruiters by trying to limit immigration to the U.S. In June, Sen.
Clinton is also pressing her argument that Trump does not have the temperament to serve as president in the aftermath of the attacks.

“I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in NY and nobody knows exactly what’s going on”, Trump said.
