Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates writing in the Wall Street Journal:
Mrs. Clinton has time before the election to address forthrightly her trustworthiness, to reassure people about her judgment, to demonstrate her willingness to stake out one or more positions on national security at odds with her partys conventional wisdom, and to speak beyond generalities about how she would deal with China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, the Middle Eastand international trade. Whether and how she addresses these issues will, I believe, affect how many people voteincluding me.
At least on national security, I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief.

wishful thinkin', I know...
