Hillary Clinton plans to deliver a scorching assessment of Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy prescriptions on Thursday, casting her likely Republican rival as a threat to decades of bipartisan tenets of American diplomacy and declaring him unfit for the presidency.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign aides said the speech, which she will deliver in San Diego, would be the start of a persistent assault to portray a potential Trump presidency as a dangerous proposition that would weaken American alliances and embolden enemies.
The argument will include specific criticism of comments Mr. Trump has made about rethinking the United States’s support of NATO; his proposal to allow Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear weapons; his vow to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the United States; and his pledge to advance the use of torture and kill the families of suspected terrorists.
But Mrs. Clinton will also invoke her experiences as secretary of state, including in 2011 when she supported President Obama’s decision to send Navy SEALs on a raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, to make the case that Mr. Trump does not have the temperament to make such decisions.
“Donald Trump is unlike any presidential candidate we’ve seen, maybe ever, certainly in decades, in that he does not cross the threshold of fitness for the job,” said Jake Sullivan, Mrs. Clinton’s top policy adviser, who helped draft the speech.

Still, there are still a BUNCH of NeoCons in the Republican party who are likely to hear the siren song that leads to disaster.
This year the Democrats will run to the "right" of the Republican on Foreign Policy.
PIAPS fail
Ambassador Stevens isn’t available to comment on how dangerous Clinton’s policies are.
Trump Builds, Clinton Kills.
Yeah that going to sell with an American people. We come full cirle. Clinton Inc won in 1992 by making it all about “the Economy”. Bush I tried to run on Foreign Policy. NOW Clinton inc are the ones trying to run on Foreign Policy!
Dangerous, too bad we can’t ask our late ambassador Chris Stevens how dangerous Hillary’s leadership is.
After BENGHAZI, that is a completely ridiculous position to take for her. She has the worst track record of bad decisions for a SOS ever............................
As compared to What? Her Russia Reset, Arab Spring, Benghazi, Iran, China takeover of South China Sea. North Korea?
She’s done a HELL of a Job /sarc.
An army of strawmen, coming right up. The press will help this effort, lying comes naturally for the press too.
Yeah, dangerous to her ability to personally profit from foreign leaders.
Yeah, Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy as Secretary of State was so stellar. Uh-huh. She and Obummer set the Middle East on fire.
Then there were all the technology transfers to China for campaign contributions during her “husband’s” terms which made China’s ICBM’s more accurate. Traitors.
And let’s not forget selling American uranium lands to the Russians....another Hitlery “deal.”
And she has the nerve to criticize Donald Trump? That’s rich.
He’s setting a trap for her. And she’s walking right into it.
The Neo Cons eventually have to come to the sickening realization that the Democratic Party is now effectively anti Zionist. They would be making a huge gamble if they abandoned the Republican Party. The reality of the State Dept controlled by snippy anti Zionists combined with a deteriorated, low morale military under the clueless President Hillary Clinton should be a sobering thought.
Yeah! Why doesn’t Trump want to give American weapons systems to jihadis, to start destabilising wars across the world?
As dangerous as abandoning Iran’s Young People’s Arab Spring upheaval?, as dangerous as toppling Libya?, as dangerous as toppling Egypt?, as dangerous as f@cking up Syria and misreading the Russians? As dangerous as that, you bitch?
NOW THAT WOULD BE A BRILLIANT ADD..... Start with black screen, put up quote of Hillary saying Trumps foreign policy ideas are dangerous.... cut to flag draped coffin... Ambassador Stevens unavailable for comment... fade to black....
Look around: China, North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, ISIS, Europe... How's the libtard foreign policy been working these last few years? {snort} Well, I guess it has made Clinton Inc. wildly rich... Funny, selling out your Country for profit used to be called treason, now I guess it is libtard "policy."
Oh, wait ...
Notice she never uses Rodham any more.
The Counterpunch is going to hurt worse. Probably having to do with Bill giving our military hardware secrets to China for some cash. But, that might just be hearsay. /s
