Clinton to Pound Trump on Foreign Policy but Risks Loom
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 2, 2016 | Damian Paletta

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton plans to draw a sharp contrast Thursday between her experience as secretary of state and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s views on foreign policy in a speech her campaign hopes will lure independents and even some Republicans.

Mrs. Clinton, speaking in San Diego, is expected to tick through a number of Mr. Trump’s foreign policy proposals, such as a recommended ban on the entry of Muslims to the U.S. and a closer alliance with Russia, saying those ideas would make the U.S. less safe and embolden its adversaries.

If I were Hillary, I'd be terrified to go toe-to-toe with Trump on foreign policy. Every attack she comes up with will come back to her in spades.

And what's funny is this should be one of her "strengths" with her State Department experience, but true to form, Hillary screwed that up too.

“Hillary claiming expertise in foreign policy is like Bonnie & Clyde claiming to be experts on the banking industry.”

wow, that statement is damn-near perfect! I will be quoting you whenever I hear anyone tout her ‘experience..blah blah’

Yep - all he has to say is that if had been Sec of State he wouldn’t have sacrificed those at Benghazi for political expedience then spit on their graves with a “what does it matter” comment....

The only area where Hillary has less expertise and fewer accomplishments than Foreign Policy is in Heterosexuality.

That might be a bit too harsh.

Hillary would certainly accomplish more as a pole dancer today than she could ever have accomplished as Secretary of State or Senator, and far more than she could ever accomplish as President.

“She wants to open this up with her record of utter and abject failure?”

She is counting on the MSM to cover for her. She has very good reason for confidence that the MSM will cover for her, along with a Republican Congress.

I can't believe Hillary Clinton would even touch on this subject, since it is such a losing proposition for her. Her foreign policy angle in this election is that she would pursue the same foreign policies and military interventions as George W. Bush.

Even good, well-meaning people here on FreeRepublic who supported that dope would have to admit that when he left office in January 2009 he was about as popular as a child molester.

I'll bet Trump's e-mails are more secure than Hillary's!

Who else in Government is NOT using the Government e-mail system???

Hillary was intoxicated already at happy hour celebrating “its 5 o’clock somewhere”.

Despicable!

She is so politically stupid. She cannot run on her lack of accomplishments and every criticism she lobs at Trump just exposes one of her weaknesses that he will deftly crush with a counter-punch.

saying those ideas would make the U.S. less safe and embolden its adversaries.

Is it just me, or do demonrats never actually answer the question of exactly HOW a proposed action by their opponent will produce these nebulous outcomes? Even the negatives are presented in such squish terms that nearly any change could be twisted into "See! I told you so".

Bring it on! Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton plans to draw a sharp contrast Thursday between her lack of real experience as secretary of state and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s views on foreign policy.

When asked about Clinton's accomplishments, there is silence. No one can think of any positive accomplishments, except Benghazi and the Arab Spring, which cannot be mentioned because they were negative and destructive to the USA.

Of course Hillary traveled a lot.

Clinton couldn’t pound Trump with a hammer.

She’s unlikely to survive their first debate.
