WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton cast herself Monday as the most qualified to combat terrorism in the U.S. after a weekend of violent attacks in three states. Going after rival Donald Trump, she argued that his anti-Muslim rhetoric is helping Islamic militants, including ISIS, recruit new fighters.
The Democratic presidential candidate touted her national security credentials at a hastily arranged news conference outside her campaign plane, accusing Republican Trump for using the incidents to make "some kind of demagogic point."
"I'm the only candidate in this race who's been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield," Clinton, a former secretary of state, told reporters. "I have sat at that table in the Situation Room."
She added: "I know how to do this."
New York's governor and mayor said Monday that the bombings in a Manhattan neighborhood and a New Jersey shore town are looking increasingly like acts of terrorism with a foreign connection. Authorities are also investigating the stabbings of nine people at a Minnesota mall as a possible act of terrorism.
An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said.
The violence cast a long shadow over the presidential race, diverting both candidates' attention from the daily controversies of the presidential race.
Clinton and her team see her foreign policy experience as a key selling point for her candidacy. On the campaign trail, she frequently invokes her role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, describing to voters the tense atmosphere in the White House alongside President Barack Obama.

yea just bypass the moderators and go for cage match
Years as a senator and years as SOS. If you knew how to do it, why didn’t when you were in charge?
Such a simple question. I look forward to the MSM asking it.
She’s also the only candidate that helped spring them from GITMO.
If she knows how to do it how come she never told Obama how to do it?
One word: Benghazi.
Liar
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Succinct and accurate.
Sez the moron who set the whole middle east on fire.
Then teach Obama
What she knows is how to aid and albeit terrorism.
Ambassador Stephens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods could not be reached for comment...
She can barely fight her way through Huma’s panty hose.....
Yes, this violence will cause more people to reconsider what's been going on, and we CAN'T have the peasants thinking for themselves...
She/her handlers are either clueless or unbelievably arrogant.
It's the latter. Bank on it.
I still wish Trump would make a commercial based on that State Dept. Undersecretary (IIRC) who was joking about "transparency". The commercial could play as follows, perhaps:
Synth music background, on screen the question:
Is it time for REAL change in America's leadership?
Play the Undersecretary vid., with his title at the bottom.
Split Screen, add Hillary, and freeze. On screen message: "These are the people running your government now."
"It's your decision."
Go to Trump saying: "I approved this ad, and your vote would be the greatest honor of my life."
And also don’t forget that the “still dicking bimbos at home” sentence was edited out by most MSM presentations that repeated Powell’s e-mail comments about Hillary.
Yeah, I know, that sorta takes the humor out of it...
Can we give her a stand down order? She’s done enough already.
