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

Posted on 06/01/2016 10:16:29 PM PDT by Innovative

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.

Trump’s response will be along the lines of

“She was Secretary of State for 4 years. In that time she oversaw worsening conditions across the middle east, increased tensions with both China and Russia - who have both hacked her email along with who knows who else and then treated our allies like England and Israel as if they were enemies. Yes, she has experience. It’s ALL BAD and she’s got the nerve to talk about me?”

Trump is probably thinking “Go ahead. Make my day”.

If she goes there, he can launch into all the foreign debacles that have occurred while she was SoS, then top it off with pointed questions about foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and what those entities expected in return.

Trump would have the opportunity to go absolutely NUCLEAR on her, and I think she and her advisors know it.

Foreign policy!!!-is she completely delusional??? Her only talking point is that she is a woman-I reckon maybe. Although calling her a woman denigrates the word.

you are correct

the irony is that Hillary was Secretary of State. That was by design and agreement in the 2008 election, a spring board. As you have noted, it is in reality detrimental

Trump’s already been making those points. About how the middle east blew up under her term, and the hundreds of thousands dead as a result. The whole migration problem is because of the “arab spring” she gushed about. Trump will hone that attack more and more. It’s going to be very fun to watch.

So Hillary Clinton wants to:
1) import more Muslim “refugees” without background checks, but do nothing about why they are refugees;
2) have a worse, not better, relationship with Russia (this from Ms. Reset);
3) drag the US into more wars we can’t afford, for objectives she can’t articulate. Because the Arab Spring and Her Libyan adventure went so well.

Trump could win just by running ads of Hillary’s speeches.

I hope he asks her to name a few of her accomplishments as Secretary of State.

Ask her about the State Department's machinations and manipulation of the Egyptian election to install Morsi as President, and provoking the largest political protest in recorded history as a result.

She has all the reason in the world, but that dam is gonna bust. The sycophancy of the the MSM relative to HRC is matched *only* by the newsworthiness of most every Trump move. If she opens this topic up, Trump should, can, and IMO WILL go full medieval on her. Full on. All she has is her projections as to what the “reckless” Trump will do. Those theories compare at ZERO value to the region-wide firestorms she and her administration have left behind as a result of blunder upon blunder.

The crappy economy has gov’t number after gov’t number apparently contradicting the spidey sense of 300 MM people. This, the arena of foreign policy and the current state of utter chaos in the region, not to mention the flood of refugees in Europe and by analogy the flood of refugees here to the US is a legacy of absolute failure on scales small and large.

He needs to rehearse his topics and become glib on this because he should be able to vaporize her on this.

He needs to bring up the law Carter used when Iran held our embassy hostage.

"We came, we saw, he died!"

Trump should bring up this example of Shrillary's vastly superior foreign policy experience.

Trump’s response should be, “Yeah, we’ll give you a call next time we need to have some of our diplomats murdered.”
