Clinton pitches her foreign policy to American Legion

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.

He made that statement to the Governor after his lottery number got out of reach. He returned from Oxford to tell the Governor to stuff it, he wasn't going to join the National Guard as he had agreed to, to avoid the draft.

Wow! Lying and government funded jet lag surely takes its’ toll.

She looks incredibly bad.

Tomorrow Trump speaks. The AL has a great immigration policy similar to what Trump is advocating. He will get a much better reception than Hillary.

She is brain damaged. Her Alinsky training, specifically accusing her opponent of exactly what she has done, is irresistable. She cannot overcome it. She cannot overcome that programming.

"She looks sick."

She looks like she just drank the whole bottle of Tequila and ate the worm.

2008 should have been hers to win. But Hillary Clinton couldn't stop the younger, more dynamic Barack Obama (we forget he was only 48 when he got elected in 2008). And now, her BAD health and rampant corruption issues are making even her own supporters wonder if she's ready to take on the toughest political job on Earth.

IIRC at least once in his time in office President Perjury addressed a group of vets (can't recall the details) and at the beginning of his speech a good number of them are said to have silently and calmly stood up and turned their backs to him.I'm not a combat theater vet so I don't qualify for VFW membership but if I did and I attended a speech by the likes of Hillary I'd do the very same thing and encourage others to do the same.

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!

It's Hurricane season. ;)

I’d like to here her version of “American values”.....she keeps touting them and telling us “we’re not like that” when we try to b \e America/Americans first, she must have a doozy of a concept (to quote Hazel...).
