At Commander-in-Chief Forum, Clinton Was A President And Trump Was An Empty Suit

[ffr]

The forum gave voters the closest thing yet to a debate between the two candidates, and the Democratic nominee proved she is best prepared to lead the country.



The Commander-in-Chief forum that aired on NBC on Wednesday night gave each candidate a chance to show off their knowledge about foreign policy and explain their plans about how to combat various threats facing the world.

It was an opportunity for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to pass the all-important commander-in-chief test. On that score, Clinton excelled and Trump bombed.

When confronted with questions from the audience, Clinton regularly interacted with the questioners, expressed appreciation for their service, showed steadiness, and offered substantive responses.

The former Secretary of State laid out her multi-pronged approach to defeating ISIS, whether it’s through the air, on the ground, or over the internet. She also reiterated her support of legislation that would bar terror suspects from purchasing firearms.

Trump, on the other hand, spent much of the exchange repeating the same worn Trumpisms that helped him win the Republican nomination: He knows more about ISIS than the generals, Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton are bad, and his business experience qualifies him to be commander-in-chief.

When asked what best prepares him to send men and women into harm’s way, Trump responded – with a straight face – by saying he has “called so many of the shots.” It’s unclear what shots Trump has called in the foreign policy arena. - www.politicususa.com

An absolutely thumping, clear and simple. But we knew she'd carry the evening for us. What a roll model!

A big thanks to Hillary Clinton on her performance tonight!

5. K&R his plan to create a trillion dollar Nazi-type team to destroy minorities isn't an empty threat

6. I agree w/ media that her missteps will keep her poll numbers down. .

But that the amount of ammo he provided for ads and future debates will outweigh her remarks on ground troops.

8. But I've felt that way from the beginning.

Nothing changed my opinion here. But I'd hate to be one of the generals he insulted! He trashed the military and them and said they'd been "reduced to rubble." Cute.

9. Don't we all!

He has a cavalier way about the way he talks about others, like we're all pawns in his bigger chess game. What a buffoon!
