Ahead of ‘commander-in-chief forum,’ Clinton mocks Trump’s fitness for the job

https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1484

TAMPA — On the eve of a “commander-in-chief forum,” Hillary Clinton used an appearance here to mock Donald Trump's national security credentials and tout her own experience as secretary of state and as a U.S. senator representing New York.

The Democratic candidate said the Republican nominee often has “no clue” as to what he’s talking about on military issues, pointing to statements he’s made about fighting the Islamic State terrorist group that Clinton said “have been all over the map.”

“He says he has a secret plan to defeat ISIS, but the secret is he has no plan,” Clinton told a crowd estimated at 1,500 at the University of South Florida, located in a community with sizable active-duty and military veteran populations. ISIS is another name for the Islamic State.

Game over. Also he's saying he's going to increase military spending, how will he pay for that. I want to know.

Even soft ball questions are bound to trip up the fool.

He just thinks he's going to stand up there and insult her and that's going to work. And I have to say it does for the breathtaking stupidity that supports him, but that is not even close enough to get elected. There are republican women who are going to run away from him after the debates.
