“Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it,” she said, adding that the president must also “defeat our adversaries, not embolden them.” And if there was any confusion that she was referring to Trump, she went on to knock his immigration plan, his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S., and that his embrace of torture. “That doesn’t make him strong—it makes him wrong,” she said to thunderous applause.

Ah, come on now. She just told us that in Libya she lost no one!
(Except that pesky Ambassador who kept making repeated requests for more security, and the three guys who saved some 40 plus people by fending off a night-long attack on their CIA compound!)

I’ve met a number of culturally voting Democrats, (generally conservative in social settings, but influenced by their culture to follow the Democratic line), who don’t mind voting for Hillary, EXCEPT they don’t know who the VP is going to be. Many of them fear she will be removed from office over the email scandal, leaving the VP as the default President.

I so agree. Watching Brian Mulroney speak at Nancy Reagan’s service made me feel more than nostalgic. We need a person that can build relationships like THAT again. Our allies need to know that we are still capable of their trust and our enemies need to know that we are back in the addle again after the last 8 year aberration.

The audience of wussies ready to raise their hands in surrender or run to get out of the country to escape an invasion, yup we can count on them to defend the country all right. Leaking Intell won’t keep the peace? I remember the term burnt out, it appears that generation is now voting for Hillary.

As explained in this article her foreign (actually Obama’s) policy was completely engineered by oil and banking interests (donors)- http://www.worldtribune.com/emails-reveal-hillarys-agenda-in-libya-global-banking-money-and-oil/

Clinton Knocks Trump Says President Must Be Able to 'Defend Our Country, Not Embarrass it.

Then surely you can spare some words of condemnation for the Token black man nitwit that has been doing nothing but embarrassing the nation since gullible fools elected him?

It was fine that we elected a "black" President, but for the nation's sake, and for History's sake, why couldn't you pick a man who wasn't a f***ing idiot?

He now has the world thinking that black men are incapable of governing with intelligence, and in that regard he has done a great injury to the goal liberals claim to want; A color blind society.

Obama will be an embarrassment forever. People will always point to him as an example of what happens when you let a "black" man run a country. The Liberals really put their foot in it when they supported this childish fool. They did a great disservice to the nation and to the prospects of future black leaders.

Hey Clinton remember that ex president Bill?
Bimbo eruption?
Monica
Paula
Gennifer
Sally
and on and on

Shooting a missile at an aspirin factory.
Not capturing Osama Bin Laden when he had the opportunity.

The office of President has been damaged forever by the Clinton and Obama families.

The current traitorous running dog for Islam who squats on the oval orifice bathroom throne has done nothing but embarrass this nation which he has been hell-bent on destroying.

Hillary, the criminal, is the personification of embarrassment, along with her spooky replacement.

So, this lesbian princess has never defended this nation, but she, like Obama and her erstwhile husband-thingy has done everything possible to embarrass America.

Priceless, coming from a person who couldn’t protect a single US ambassador in a North African cesspool of a country!

This anti American slut really defended our people at Benghazi.

Then, she sold our secrets to the highest bidder via her server.

What is her stance on Selective Service? Is she going to require all 18-year-old females to register for their country and possibly be drafted to fight in East Buckistan or wherever she possibly sends troops? If nothing else, in order to secure college loans, males have to register so why not women under a female liberal president? If she is going to tout equality, start here. I wonder how many 18-year-old women will be screaming in celebration knowing they may have to drop their Smart Phones and “Pro-choice” stances. If Hillary Clinton says that only males should be required to register, she is a hypocrite because that is a way of saying women cannot do what a man can do. Or will she only send boys to protect girls in America? How sexist that would be.

Clinton's server, lies, dishonesty and her IT are biting her big butt.

If she stonewalls and does not release the speech transcripts....it enables Republicans to paint her into a corner. This is not just a vast right-wing conspiracy that is causing her problems. She has caused herself these problems. The server is not the vast right-wing conspiracy. It's Hillary Clinton deciding she could put a server in her closet. The same with the transcripts. The same with accepting banking money in a presidential year when she knew that she was probably going to be running for President.....

Like she defended the embattled US Ambassador and his three companions in Benghazi?

"“Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it,” she said, adding that the president must also “defeat our adversaries, not embolden them.”"

Someone, anyone, tell me exactly how Obama has defended our country. From what I've seen with my own two eyes, he has done the opposite:

He apologized to the World for USA involvement while trying to be the leader of liberty that spread freedom throughout the World since our inception;
He has bowed to every pissy potentate he has met, except for the Queen of England;
He has done his best to minimize our military while using it as a social experiment;
He was a major cause of the "Arab Spring" that now has the Middle East on the brink of regional war with nuclear ambitions due to his insane agreement with Iran;
He has turned his back on Israel - our greatest ally;
He and his Hillary were directly responsible for creating chaos in Libya when Quaddify was NO threat;
He ignores North Korea which is growing stronger;
He has accepted Cuba's communism into the World community;
He encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood to have a say in Egypt's government. Thank you Egypt for kicking them out;
He has caused many of our ME allies to embrace alliances with Russia, which is NOT our friend under Putin;
Sure there is more that I'm missing...feel free to add.

Overall, this POS has diminished our standing/leadership in the World and has alienated our allies and emboldened our current enemies and potential enemies. I will always remember the graphic of him walking with a book titled, "The World After America". He's an articulate punk who has done his best to minimize America's stature. Hillary is the same.

This poser, POS, can NEVER be allowed to be commander in chief.

Benghazi, on so many levels, is Hillary’s millstone.

The stupid video excuse.
The lying about it to the faces of the parents of our fallen HEROS.
The refusal to beef up security.
The decision to stay there after other embassies had all left.

While watching the attack on a drone camera, in REAL TIME,
REFUSED to advocate for support and rescue.

Hillary is DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of our four heroes, and the death of ambassador Stevens.

After all “what difference, at this point, does it make”

What a devastating political ad I could make about this.

"Obviously she knows that most of her voters are too dumb to know anything about what went on."

As I've said many times, this Nation is now about "cult of personality". That's how Billy-boy and Obama got elected (Bush was an anomaly first time -second time he was a warrior we needed - although I now think Iraq was a waste of our youth). Trump falls into that "cult" category, also. However, if he makes it to Oval Office, I hope he continues to appoint capable and knowledgeable people as he's done in the past.

Newt for Chief-of-Staff!
