Clinton launching national security case against Trump in California speech

[anatta]

Clinton’s campaign hopes that there are many more national-*security-minded Republicans and independents who would vote for her, even grudgingly, rather than see Trump win the White House. Those voters are an important part of the audience for her case that she is fit to be commander in chief and that Trump is not.

Clinton has begun making that argument more forcefully as her long primary battle grinds to a close. She will deliver what her campaign calls a major foreign policy address in California on Thursday, focused both on her ideas and leadership credentials and on what she will describe as the threat Trump poses to national security.

“Clinton will rebuke the fear, bigotry and misplaced defeatism that Trump has been selling to the American people,” an aide said. “She will make the affirmative case for the exceptional role America has played and must continue to play in order to keep our country safe and our economy growing.”

The speech Thursday in San Diego marks a turning point toward an argument that, by design, has not been as large a part of the primary campaign as Democrats expect it to be in the general election campaign. Although Clinton cast herself as by far the more experienced and qualified person to be commander in chief when campaigning against her rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, she often tried not to feed liberal suspicions that she is a hawk.

But she is a hawk, and her foreign policy decisions have been dreadful.

with her attitude over benghazi, who would trust her with national security?

Pee Wee Herman is more competent than HRC re mat security.

what i like about trump is that he presents a clearly different choice in matters of national security trade and other issues. People dont just have a choice between two slightly different candidates pushing the same philosophy but two divergent ones.

the only policies i've seen trump espouse is building a wall (illegal immigration) and executing americans who dare kill a cop.

I don't understand the problem.

For years people have said that they wanted a candidate that wasn't beholden to anyone or to corporations and the minute that one runs, he's vilified.
I guess liberals meant one who was a liberal and Republicans meant one that was a die hard Republican.

I'll only speak for myself here but reading what other conservatives have written I don't think I'm alone in this. It's not the matter of wanting a diehard Republican, it's wanting a Republican. Trump is a Clinton supporting New York liberal. He's a Democrat and an opportunist. He has no principle or fundamental believe for which he stands. It's why there have been multiple occasions where he says one thing one day for public consumption and then walks it back the next day more quietly.

To each his own as to who they support but for me I can't support Trump.

there won't be enough 'i told you so's' available if trump is elected and starts acting like a democrat.

OK, let's say he wins the nomination and the election and during his Presidency, none of your fears come to fruition.
What will you say then?
