The Associated Press<\/a> reports that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dropped in on the American Legion Convention today and she outlined her platform on National Security;<\/p>\n

[T]he Democratic presidential nominee called the United States an “exceptional nation,” and accused Republican rival Donald Trump of thinking that approach is “insulting to the rest of the world.”<\/p>\n

Clinton said the country has a “unique and unparalleled ability to be a force for peace and progress.” She questioned Trump’s support for the military and hit him for his last-minute trip to Mexico Wednesday, saying it “takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like dropping in on the American Legion for a few minutes after years of insulting the military?<\/p>\n

\u201cThreatening to walk away from our alliances, ignoring the importance that they still are to us, is not only wrong, it is dangerous,\u201d she told a crowd of veterans gathered at the Cincinnati event. \u201cIf I am your president, our friends will always know, America will have your backs, and we expect you to have ours.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t build a coalition by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. You do it through slow, hard work of building relationships.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The entire time that Obama has been President, he’s been threatening to walk away from Afghanistan and essentially that’s what he did to Iraq – with predictable results. I think Clinton was Secretary of State when he walked away from our alliance with the Iraqi government. So, who does she think that she’s fooling?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
