Hillary Clinton took questions at a news conference on an airport tarmac in New York on Thursday, one night after a presidential forum on national security issues.

Here are the highlights:

• In an opening statement, Mrs. Clinton said that Donald J. Trump had “bizarrely” praised President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia at the forum on Wednesday, when he suggested that he preferred Mr. Putin’s leadership qualities to those of President Obama. “That is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country, as well as to our commander in chief, it is scary,” she said.

2. The witness has rights.

Drumpf's slip of the tongue were alarming to me too.

He should be censured for his cavalier comments of his briefings. Those are top-secret. Nothing about them should be talked about. Hillary is right!

3. Even the hint of an allegation

that the military might be out-of-step with the President's plan could be disastrous to foreign relations with diplomatically challenging countries, especially countries that the USA may be at war with, or have ongoing sanctions, or have US (or Western nations in general) prisoners.

Despicable comments from Trump.

4. Very Substantive and She Did Not Even Have To Blacklist Anyone

Unfortunately, the media is now so afraid of being put in timeout by the Trump campaign, that they are now all pulling a Lauer.
