Clinton pitches her foreign policy to American Legion
MSN News ^ | August 31, 2016 | CATHERINE LUCEY and JILL COLVIN

Hillary Clinton pitched her foreign policy to Republican voters in a speech to the American Legion on Wednesday, arguing that she would best uphold American values and protect national security interests.

At the veterans' group annual convention in Cincinnati, the 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."

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."

The Clintons “loathe” (Bill’s word) the American military.

I did not know that the executives of the foreign legion were leftist traitors.

Certainly they know what they are dealing with. To give her a platform makes no sense.

Clinton’s most vulnerable front is her sellout of American security, Defenses, and allies. She has about as much credibility at the Americsn Legion as john Dillinger would have at the American Bankers Association

The VFW did the same. Had Hillary speak one day and Trump the next.

I believe Trump will speak at the AL some time this week.

Great wardrobe pick. Perfectly matches the background - great for TV! All they need now is to superimpose a weather map and her head will be bobbing over Kansas! LOL

Hillary is lame in all regards. Her swipes at Trump, and her physical appearance.

Trump speaks to the American Legion tomorrow. I’m sure his speech will be better received.

the 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."

Trump's whole campaign is Make America Great Again, and America First, so how does she/her staff come up with the line that Trump thinks that the US being an exceptional nation is insulting to the rest of the world? This makes no sense & is totally random. What am I missing?

If anything, I would think their line would be that Trump doesn't want to "work with the rest of the world." But Trump thinking US greatness is an insult to the world is basically the opposite of what he is saying.

I don't get this line of attack.

She looks awful. Someone will probably be fired over the wardrobe/background situation.

But she has bigger things to worry about. Like Benghazi emails that were not turned over, sending classified info after leaving as SOS, trying to keep anyone from looking too hard at the coincidences between her SOS schedule, foundation donations, and State Dept grants being made all over the world.

The American Legion, like the VFW, are non-partisan. The allow both candidates to speak at thier convention. Trump had accepted a speaking slot. Not sure when he is scheduled.

What the hell is wrong with VFW

All Clinton has done is send Vets to die, she doesn’t even make sure their deaths and injuries yeilded permanent gains.

Iraq withdrawal was a waste of lives and led to ISIS

What has Clinton done for Vets healthcare?

Trump is so Pro Vet, where is his invite to speak, What is wrong with the VFW, who is running this group?

They put out an Anti Trump ad for TV.

Wit was Obama who said that the US is no more exceptional than any other nation.

I think that is Hillary’s new Crusty Suit. She has it in a couple different colors and has been wearing it a lot lately. (hanging head in shame that I am a man and notice these things)
