She urged every Republican to respond to the statements made by their nominee last night, adding that she would disagree with Trump even if she wasn’t running for president.

As a businessman with no substantial national security experience, Trump was also vague about how he is preparing for the enormous array of complex issues that would land on his desk as commander in chief.
Trumps team has worked aggressively in recent days to turn deflect such criticism back at Clinton.
“I will not let the VA be privatized and I do think there is an agenda out there supported by my opponent to do just that”, she said.
After taking a question from NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, Clinton said she would not tolerate the Republicans putting out false information about her.
But Clinton defended certain emails, including information about the country’s covert drone program, as not revealing classified information.
Trump has previously said he knows more about ISIS than the generals.
Democrat Hillary Clinton repeated just such an attack on Trump’s ability to command America’s military.
Kaine also claims that the Islamic State is rooting for a Trump victory in November.
“This #NBCNewsForum feels like an embarrassment to journalism”, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote on Twitter.
Neither Clinton nor Trump has unveiled their schedules for Sunday. Trump called Clinton a failed foreign policy leader. “We need a lot less money than she does to operate the campaign”.
Kaine, a senator from Virginia and former governor, is a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committee. All of this, he says, makes national security issues real and personal to him.
He says Hillary Clinton, like any president, needs a “solid partner” in the White House.
“His whole campaign has been one large insult to those who have worn the uniform”, she said at a rally.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to Matt Lauer at the NBC Commander-In-Chief Forum in NY on September 8.
“So we need to wage this war against ISIS from the air, on the ground, and online, in cyberspace”.
The Republican presidential nominee attacked Hillary Clinton as he courted veterans Tuesday in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Why wasn’t it disqualifying, if you want to be commander-in- chief?
Trump promised he would fix bureaucratic problems in the Veterans Administration.
“If they have that long wait, they walk outside, they go to the local doctor, they choose the doctor, they choose the hospital, whether it’s public or private, they get themselves better”, he said.
Trump was set to deliver another speech Wednesday evening, at the convention of New York’s Conservative Party, also expected to feature a heavy national security focus. You look at what’s happening to our country, you look at the depleted military.
Clinton drew an implicit contrast with Trump when asked for the most important quality a commander in chief must possess. “We didn’t think we needed to do that”. She pointed to her endorsements from retired Marine Gen. John Allen, who blasted Trump at the Democratic National Committee, and former Central Intelligence Agency deputy director Mike Morell.
“I have taken responsibly for my decision”, Clinton said. They view him as a danger and a risk..
When Lauer continued to press Trump on his support for Putin, the GOP nominee compared the Russian leader to U.S. President Barack Obama. It also allows her to target Republican-leaning voters who have been turned off by Trump.
Clinton said sometimes these types of logistical dust-ups are “annoying” but they’re not the reason a president attends these types of meetings.
Noah echoed critics who said Lauer completely mismanaged his time, made evident when he asked the Democratic presidential candidate to summarize her strategy to combat ISIS “as briefly as you can”.
