Clinton’s comments came days after Trump said the first female presidential candidate “did not have a presidential look” and after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said she didn’t smile at the recent Commander-in-Chief Forum.

Clinton’s campaign has seized on criticism of Trump for lauding Putin, frequently pointing to the Republican’s praise of the Russian president as a disqualifying for the White House.
“If he wasn’t good with Hillary Clinton, he was awful when handling Donald Trump”, the host said. Trump then alluded to the first Gulf War in 1991, which ended with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein still in power.
The Democrat was repeatedly challenged on her controversial email use at the State Department and her vote as a senator for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. “It is scary, it is unsafe”, she said.
Some of Trump’s foreign policy positions have appeared favorable toward Russian Federation.
Donald Trump, who said he’s got a secret plan to defeat ISIL, now said he would ask USA military generals for a plan, 30 days after taking office.
But he was also harshly critical of the military, saying America’s generals have been “reduced to rubble” under Obama.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Mrs. Clinton has recently been bogged down with questions on the Federal Bureau of Investigation notes on the email probe and is having difficulty explaining and justifying her actions.
“I don’t understand the reasons for it”, she said. Otherwise, we may soon find ourselves with another president like Richard Nixon, who fell from grace from an inability to follow the rules.
“Because of our event, national security has dominated the news cycle for days”, Lack wrote.
Polls show Clinton and Trump locked in virtual ties in each of those states – a percentage point or less separates the two candidates.
Some of Trump’s foreign policy positions, such as his proposal to fight terrorism by imposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, have alarmed not just Democrats but many in his own party’s leadership.
Talking about “headers” or “no headers” fails to address the fact that Mrs. Clinton told us that she understood the classification system, but then told the Federal Bureau of Investigation a different story.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized US policy in Iraq again, but this time he aired his grievances on an unusual platform: a Russian government-funded television network.

It offered a prelude to how Clinton and Trump will deal with questions of national security in their three upcoming presidential debates later in September and in October.
