They are both nut's

The left wingers, socialists and anyone else who thinks the corrupt hillary is a better option, they are totally suspending reality and history when making the claim Trump is a national security problem and hillary isnt. Aside from the national security exposure of secrets, Hillary has a record. That record is very specifically, supporting local groups by funding, arming or supporting them to topple governments in the arab spring wars, including the group which became ISIS. Her policies led directly to Terror groups like ISIS, Muslim brotherhood and others to take power over governments or regions resulting in thousands dead and the world being on the brink of world war 3. An unindetended consequence of Hillary's factual history of what she did in north africa and the middle east created actual slave industries. A man can go online and find a price list of female rape slaves complete with plan B abortion pills and other services. This is Hillary who opened the door to an actual openly performed slave industry and the cap that all of the other unintended consequence is a Terrorist Army roaming the earth, attacking in nearly every country and raping, pillaging, assaulting and murdering its way across Europe to this day. To really top it off, she has flatly stated on her own website a bullet point to do all of the above again, with support of local groups to topple enemies as well as continue negotiations with countries like Iran which are allowing the Iranians to obtain nukes with US provided money. This is Hillary and democrats, She started at least 8 wars, thousands dead, slavery, an army of terror on the loose and expanding nuclear proliferation to religious fanatics.

Trump of course, is not a professional politician and is not party to or a cause of anything which resulted inn wars, armies invading, slavery and death all around the world. Nor are his policies likely to do any of the above because none of his policies are the ones the democrats use and have used often to start numerous wars or allow psychotic armies of tyrants to gain power. Even that is a left wing result which has occurred often for the last 80 years.

And worse again for Hillary, he pay to play RICO through the clinton foundation, it is not unreasobale to be concerned she might sell to the highest bidder, targets for her to hit with Nukes on behalf of Ayatollahs, Castros, Kims, "insert the name of favored democrat communist and islamonazi tyrants here"

Want World War 3, put hillary in charge, she is certain to succeed in that goal. Along with a repeat of the Obama great recession.

Clinton, Trump: He's a national security danger; no she is

At least with Trump it's only been talk. For Hillary it is her actions that is her problem. She helped get America in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and was in charge when the ambassador and three others were killed in Libya. Not to mention all of the unsecured secret and top secrete documents she placed at risk by creating her own communications system lacking the security of even a public service. We might speculate that Trump is a loose canon. We already know for a fact that Hillary is.

It is leadership, meaning the US or Japan for that matter does not have to kiss anyone's feet, only an idiot would not have common sense to know that one is not respected and nothing to do with taking an insult.

If it was a meeting just with China, then yeah, turning around and going home would be justified. But when it's a meeting with 20 world leaders, then it's not as easy as just turning around. Doing so would be cutting off your nose to spite your face, out of a sense of pride, not logic.

Yeah Trump would have turned around, because Trump is too stupid to realize that would be worse than staying. Obama has the intelligence to look past the snub for the better of his country. Taking one for the team as it were.

Next time China wants to hold a gathering of world leaders, the US should strongly protest, and point out how they weren't mature enough to handle it this time, as evidenced by the snub. That's how adults deal with situations like this. Not getting all pissy at a snub and ditching out on a meeting with 18 other world leaders that didn't snub America.

RE: I’ve got to tell you, if that were me, I would say, ‘You know what, folks, I respect you a lot but close the doors, let's get out of here.’"

That would have shown them - Air Force One pulling a 180 and jetting back to Washington! Ha! That is leadership - at least in Trumpville: Never apologize, and never put up with an insult, even if it means snubbing the G20.

It is leadership, meaning the US or Japan for that matter does not have to kiss anyone's feet, only an idiot would not have common sense to know that one is not respected and nothing to do with taking an insult.

Good going for Trump to take a stand instead of the political correctness that only makes the US come across as weak. If your the big dog then you need to bite not just all show with nothing but talk and no substance

Maybe, according to the latest news, this will all be a "thing" of the past, with Trump being arrested for human trafficking. "The openly anti-immigrant candidate is being accused of “illegally importing” women to work as models in his agency, and while this makes him look like a giant fool, it could also hold legal ramifications that would leave Trump paying a hefty fine, and possibly even serving jail time for human trafficking." Along with her letter, Boxer also tweeted out:

Trump: tough on illegal immigration unless he’s importing foreign models to exploit. https://t.co/eahs6srlDE

the main point was that everyone who voted for the Iraq war bears some responsibility for it.

Then Hillary should be the last person to vote for.

There are 13 different investigations that they can read to get their answers. Unless you have some information that all of those committees missed, I don't think the end results are going to change.

I think you're right, but given the fact that each time a new mail revelation comes out it damages her, bit by bit is more than enough. Hillary a few weeks ago was a mile ahead in the poles and that gap has now closed, in some polls Trump is leading 2-3 points. If Hillary wasn't tarnished and was seen as a more favorable candidate, she'd be way, way, ahead of Trump, but she's not, it's now a very close next and next tie.

The only hypocrisy here is Republican hyper-partisanship to take a tragic incident like Benghazi and use it to try and take down an opponent because they have nothing else they can offer. As far as Trump goes, he has only himself to blame for his issues.

Yeah, you go and believe that, if it were up to liberals and Dems, they would have loved the people to believe Susan Riice's BS story that it was a video that was the catalyst to the Jihadists wanting to attack our embassy when Hillary admitted to her own daughter and to the Egyptian president that it was a Jihadist attack. So either Hillary was completely lying or she is completely incompetent and incapable of being president, if she cannot recall events or make serious decisions.

Trump supported the invasion of Iraq as well.

Yup and he was a private businessman as well and wasn't in politics at all

@turbostat: I can see why you are confused. You cited quotations from partisan Republicans who were on the witch hunt, but their allegations were later proven to be false. There is a difference between a fact and an opinion. Opinions are not always facts.

Is Reid running for president, he's not on the ballad, right?

I'm going to assume that you meant "ballot" since we aren't discussing musicals. I'm not sure why you added this non-sequitor because the main point was that everyone who voted for the Iraq war bears some responsibility for it.

Again, I could care less if the FBI are in the tank for Hillary, everyone knows it. I just care about the other families and hope they get the answers they rightly deserve.

Probably because thy didn't stonewall or lie and blamed a Choptic Christian as a scapegoat to cover up any of their blunders.

More speculation without providing actual evidence to support it.

This stinks to high heaven of the worst liberal hypocrisy.

So, everyone who voted for the war is absolved of all responsibility for their actions because they are not running for President. Yes, that logic makes sense, now doesn't it?

Yes, and that "one" is the person who you are making the most fuss about since he was an ambassador. As far as who I believe, I'm going with the results of all 13 investigations--and they are all quite consistent in their findings--which was they couldn't find any wrongdoing on Clinton's part.

Again, I could care less if the FBI are in the tank for Hillary, everyone knows it. I just care about the other families and hope they get the answers they rightly deserve.

I find it interesting that there were 13 attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates during the Bush years, and staff members were killed--they just weren't ambassadors, so I guess that they don't count, right? After all, we didn't get multiple investigations about those incidents, now did we?

Probably because thy didn't stonewall or lie and blamed a Choptic Christian as a scapegoat to cover up any of their blunders.

"Libs" are supporting the Khan's because they had a son who made the ultimate sacrifice

Like you said, so did many others, like the families of Benghazi.

but then had to deal with Trump's cheap shots afterwards. They are blaming Trump for his crass handling of the whole situation.

I agree that Trump was out of line for what he said, but at the same time, Trump has every right to defend himself and doesn't have to take shots of a man that supports a woman that voted for the war in which his son died in. This stinks to high heaven of the worst liberal hypocrisy.

That's one out of 7, I'm not calling the Stevens family liars, never did, but again, the rest of the families and the men that tried to get the 4 out have a different account of events and how they feel the situation was handled, so I'm going with the majority.

That's odd. Your link says:

The Committee’s eight-hundred page report, which wraps up a two-year, seven-million-dollar investigation, specifically reprimanded the State Department, then under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; the Pentagon, headed at the time by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta; and the C.I.A. ... In a separate, forty-eight-page addendum, two Republican Committee members, Mike Pompeo, of Kansas, and Jim Jordan, of Ohio, went even further, alleging that the Administration deliberately covered up the full truth about the attack at a time when President Obama was facing a tough reëlection campaign. “We expect our government to make every effort to save the lives of Americans who serve in harm’s way,” Pompeo said, in a statement. “That did not happen in Benghazi. Politics were put ahead of the lives of Americans.”

But according to the prevailing news (such as MSNBC headline at the time) and various posters here, Clinton was "exonerated", nothing was found, and the investigations were a waste, and we should stop talking about it.

And those paragraphs above are without all the missing evidence that the Clinton team attempted to hide outside of government records and delete and maybe even BleachBit.

Nice! You set such a low bar for the office! The Marion Berry theory of electionability! Can we make up a slogan for that? Like: 'If it's Blue it's True!' Or: 'Good enough to fool the FBI!'

No, because many people are tired of hearing 13 investigations where the end result is the same thing--a partisan witch hunt which resulted in nothing but wasted time and money

Uh-huh...you think so, but the people that involved in this don't think so.

You make it seem like she alone bears the blame for going to war, which is simply not true.

The others aren't in this race. She's running for the presidency, that's why.

Finally, no, she is not getting a pass. Many people are just tired of Republicans taking the high moral ground on issues like Benghazi while not putting in even half of the effort in bringing those to justice who got us into the Iraq mess in the first place. You do see some people's problem with raising 13 investigations over a tragic incident which resulted in 4 deaths but having no investigations or raising the same ire over something that killed over 4500 people in the service of their country?

Of course she's getting a pass. Until last week, the press were pretty much not doing their job and focusing on Trump too much, but now that he's been staying on track and careful with his rhetoric, the MSM have nothing else to do, so now with Trump being pacified the media HAS to turn their attention to Hillary and emails and Vigorously scrutinize them all.

Once again, you've completely missed the point. The point is not about your contempt for some people on the left's sudden "deepest concern" for our military.

Because the left don't want to hear it?

It's about Republican hypocrisy regarding their attempt at taking Hillary Clinton down over the tragedy in Bengazi while at the same time, ignoring the lies that got 4500 U.S. military people killed not to mention the numbers of our allies or Iraqi civilians.

You mean the same war Hillary voted for, the same woman that approved of those 4500 people that were killed and mostly by the sectarian violence overwhelmingly? But now all of a sudden the screamers of the Bush war now have short meme rise and the libs that were the most critical of that invasion give a pass to the woman that totally supported it. Once again, we have to analyze liberal hypocrisy.

If your concern is about lives being lost in the service of our nation, I'd say the Iraq war and how we got there should have gotten a lot more scrutiny--especially from "concerned" Republicans who were very happy to waste money and time on repetitive "investigations" on the tragic incident in Libya while conveniently sweeping the Iraq war under the carpet.

Sweeping, sadly no. I think the liberals were just angry because Bush had no regrets about disposing Saddam. If you want to debate his going into Iraq was wrong, I won't quibble and if people didn't agree with the war, I get it and I'm not blaming them, if we could go back, personally, I probably wouldn't knowing what we know now. So he does need to take some responsibility. At the same time, we can thank Obama a lot for being responsible in helping create ISIS, he also needs to take responsibility for not acting soon enough.

So from your journalistic experience, what would you prefer in a president in terms of foreign policy?

a) A candidate you have enthusiastically described as a 'loose cannon' with no foreign policy experience. A man who refuses to (or can't) articulate a coherent foreign policy platform without resorting to empty adjectives.

or

b) A candidate you have derided as a 'chronological habitual liar', an insider with experience, one who may be politically wily and controversial, but who is nonetheless a known quantity (and somewhat of a hawk at that).

Because of what she'll do to the Supreme Court, not to mention her questionable relationship with dictators, especially the ones that have a very violent laws and standards of treating women and children and domestically having our country continue on a sluggish path, watching the middle class shrink, I'll choose option A.

Who would you prefer to have their finger on the nuclear button, or on the imperative to kill large numbers of people, or on the possibility to shape our children's future? A populist outsider who shoots from the hip as the moment dictates, or a calculating insider who prefers caution, but is unafraid to attack when deemed necessary?

Most definitely option A.

As a fellow journalist and human, I'm vexed by this difficult choice. We are stuck in a horrible dilemma. Personally, I do not like Clinton, but I dislike Trump far more.I would like to hear your opinion.

I feel the exact opposite.

I was thinking last night there must be some reason why the MSM falls all over themselves to ignore Hillary's problems. At least it doesn't make it to their voting recommendations.

But it's a lot more clear when you remember that Bernie had the same problem. If he had won the primary, he probably would have won the general. So 1 + 4 or 8 years of Boring Bernie. How could they walk away from the prospect of 9 years of juicy news stories on Hillary or Trump?

As SoS, Clinton got her hands bloodied by her actions in relation to Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, and Libya (probably others as well). Trump has ruffled the feathers of some who choose to be offended. Which is more dangerous again?!?

List is too long, Libya was hers for sure, but Iraq? Have you forgotten who invaded that country? Republicans are either very dim or very selective in their recall. But the point is someone who has no idea what he is doing is better than someone who does. Looking at facts Trump has failed in just about everything he has done, casinos, university, planes, food, magazines, and on and on. The TV show is not his, he is an actor in it. So to expect Trump to even has a chance of doing anything right in foreign affairs is zero. In that regard he is very much like Bush Jr who failed at everything he did in life as well leading up to being elected and ended up being the worse President ever, well maybe second to Reagan who sold arms to Iran while President.

Back to foreign policy, Trump said this morning

I just don't think she has a presidential look. And you need a presidential look. You have to get the job done. I think if she went to Mexico, she would've had a total failure. We had a great success.

Aside from the "total success" of his Mexican sojourn ("success" having a very, very low bar at the Trump campaign), what could he have meant by not having that "presidential look"? Could it be her choice of fashion? Her wide grins that may suddenly turn into scowls if displeased? Perhaps it is her height?

What it wouldn't be is the fact that she is female - you know, that only males are taken seriously when it comes to negotiating with foreign leaders, mano-a-mano and all. We can be sure that Trump's surrogates will assure us of that within the next few hours.

That's your mistake. Hillary takes her orders from the hegemonic War Pigs, no different than Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama. Just how much more war in the ME do you need to get this through your plastic head?

While I think both candidates are awful, I tend to look at the security risk portion from a personal perspective. If I send even one classified email through an unclassified system, I lose my job. I'm not even talking about SCI or SAP, I could be as low as confidential but that wouldn't matter.

That's how a lot of people feel about George Bush and Iraq, but it tends to make you angry when people say that. Something about the statue of limitations on outrage.

Some may think that and that's their prerogative. And No, it doesn't make me angry at all, people can say whatever they want. At least Bush was trying to hide the war, he wasn't out there getting everyone to coverup for bungled mistakes and No Ambassador died on his watch.

I have been in and out of Washington for over 30 years all around the beltway,

So from your journalistic experience, what would you prefer in a president in terms of foreign policy?

a) A candidate you have enthusiastically described as a 'loose cannon' with no foreign policy experience. A man who refuses to (or can't) articulate a coherent foreign policy platform without resorting to empty adjectives.

or

b) A candidate you have derided as a 'chronological habitual liar', an insider with experience, one who may be politically wily and controversial, but who is nonetheless a known quantity (and somewhat of a hawk at that).

Who would you prefer to have their finger on the nuclear button, or on the imperative to kill large numbers of people, or on the possibility to shape our children's future? A populist outsider who shoots from the hip as the moment dictates, or a calculating insider who prefers caution, but is unafraid to attack when deemed necessary?

As a fellow journalist and human, I'm vexed by this difficult choice. We are stuck in a horrible dilemma. Personally, I do not like Clinton, but I dislike Trump far more.I would like to hear your opinion.

Fizz, to paraphrase Forrest Gump quoting his mother, "racist is as racist does." The fact that a large percentage of birthers supported Cruz despite the facts of his birth - facts not true in the case of Obama but in his case upheld as disqualifying - might cause one pause. Could it be, perhaps, that Cruz is a white Hispanic?

Nah - I'm reading too much into this. I'm sure there must be other reasons, such as ... uh, well, that Cruz' father is not African-born? If you have any other theories, please share them. (And, no, don't get started that some pointed out his foreign birth as potentially disqualifying - that is fact in Cruz' case.)

C'mon, fizz - if he'd been born in exactly the same circumstances except with a father from some European country - say, Scotland - do you really think Trump would have attacked so tenaciously, or that anyone would have cared?

@Strangerland No I am believing the fact that she was proven careless with classified information.

The fact that her staff member was also careless by leaving classified information in her car!!? (yet was not fired). The fact that she claims she doesn't even know what the letter "c" means on a document. "But security is important to me!!"

Which one is it, is she just that dumb or just doesnt care? It has to be one of those and either one means she IS a risk. You cant claim a head injury causes you to not recall things (37 times?) yet the same head injury does not preclude you from being President? Nothing about MSM, just facts.

Fuzz, there is no doubt regarding Cruz's birthplace - Canada. Now, if you'd like to call questioning whether Canadian-born American citizens are eligible for the presidency racist, go ahead. It is a valid question, however, one that the Supreme Court has yet to rule on (McCain, born in the Panama Canal Zone, got a special dispensation from Congress - might have gone to the Supremes nonetheless, but that turned out not to be necessary).

Ben Carson was asked today about whether he thinks Trump should apologize for his promotion of birtherism - the quite clearly racist concept that Obama was not born in the US - and, surprisingly, Carson was almost lucid:

I think that would be a good idea, absolutely. I suggest that on all sides. Let’s get all of the hate and rancor out of the way.

"On all sides" - what a great concept! Trump could apologize for pursuing a ridiculous concept with deeply racist undertones far beyond when it was discredited by everyone except Brietbart and other less-savory recesses of the Internet, and Obama's supporters could apologize for criticizing Trump for pursuing a ridiculous concept with deeply racist undertones far beyond when it was discredited by everyone except Brietbart and other less-savory recesses of the Internet. Everyone is happy! Except for Trump, for whom an apology is akin to water and the Witch of the West. Asked about this, Trump said yesterday:

I don’t talk about it, because if I talk about that, your whole thing will be about that. So I don’t talk about it.

See? It never happened if you don't talk about it! I bring this up because of Trump's reaction to Obama being snubbed on the tarmac in China:

I’ve got to tell you, if that were me, I would say, ‘You know what, folks, I respect you a lot but close the doors, let's get out of here.’"

That would have shown them - Air Force One pulling a 180 and jetting back to Washington! Ha! That is leadership - at least in Trumpville: Never apologize, and never put up with an insult, even if it means snubbing the G20.

I'm not sure we can be called a democratic republic anymore. The corporate media is clearly giving Hillary a pass while sticking it to Trump...

"The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785.

On November 13 last year, Trump again disparaged the skill of the American military by saying:

I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.

Okay, perhaps he does. But how could one tell? On June 5, Trump elaborated:

They don't know much because they're not winning.

See? It's easy! All you have to do is know your enemy, and then you can defeat them! But he must have a plan, doesn't he? Rest assured! Here it is:

All I can tell you is that it is a foolproof way of winning.

So - perhaps he knows more about ISIS than the generals, and perhaps he has a plan, and perhaps he would like to share this plan with American voters before they choose the next president. Yesterday, he unveiled a major part of his plan:

I am also going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction: They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for defeating ISIS.

Yeah. Because all they've been doing to date is not trying to defeat ISIS. What a genius! If only Obama had thought of that! Plus, because Trump knows so much more than the generals and because he's so good at saying "You're fired!", they'll finally have incentive! Genius.

Believing your MSM are you?

Seeing as this article is about national security, let's see how Trump answered a question from Gen. Michael Flynn about cyber security:

And you know cyber is becoming so big today. It’s becoming something that number of years ago, short number of years ago, wasn’t even a word. And now the cyber is so big, and you know look at what they’re doing with the internet. How they’re taking recruiting people through the internet. And part of it is the psychology because so many people think they’re winning. And you know, there’s a whole big thing. Even today, psychology — where CNN came out with a big poll. Their big poll came out today that Trump is winning. It’s good psychology, you know. It’s good psychology. I know that for a fact because people that didn’t call me yesterday, they’re calling me today. So that’s the way life works right?

Let's analyze this. Obviously, he has no idea what he's talking about, so he dissembles first to make his succeeding BS sound impressive (while using "cyber" as a noun - and, by the way, the word has existed since the 1950s). He then bends the topic towards something he does know: that ISIS is recruiting over the Internet - which has nothing to do with cyber security, but hey, it's the Internet, right? And then the obligatory winning comments segue with the obligatory "we're winning in the polls!" comments.

So that's Trump's opinion of cyber security. Ironic that it is also his main attack line on Clinton as he clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

This is really concerning. Trump's got businesses and properties in Dubai (what’s his relationship to the various Gulf oil sheikdoms and the US oil titans?), Israel (what relationships does he have there?), Turkey (what’s his relationship to Sultan Erdogan?), The Philippines (what’s his relationship with Duterte?), among numerous other places worldwide. How will he deal with these leaders he has personal business dealings with should he be elected? How much in debt is he to Chinese and German financiers? How much in debt is he to US financial institutions? What deals can we expect him to make to resolve his debts in the US and abroad if he becomes president?

His financial market investment portfolio includes shares in the major US corporations that have long controlled the US. If he becomes president, will he grant special favors to them so they can become even more powerful, and he become richer, or maybe reduce his debts?

He’s got millions of his loyal followers to swallow his putative populist pap, but I have little doubt that he is just using another of his bait and switch techniques (See Trump U as an example.) and will revert to the global elitist he really is if elected.

How will his numerous federal court cases be resolved?

@Crazy Joe - Not sure if he is completely insane but for the way he has conducted himself and the fact he has demonstrated himself to be unfit for office it is amazing how well he is doing. My opinion is that if the Democrats had a better candidate (I like Joe Webb). This election would have been over and wrapped up long ago.

Unfortunately Americans are left with these 2 and if Assange is right and Wikileaks has something really big on Clinton (the proverbial October surprise) Trump may actually win, which is a scary thought. On the other hand I think there is something big on Trump related to his finances (unrelated to Russia or anything overseas) and that is why he will not release tax records (which is standard procedure for Presidential candidates) and I would not be surprised if someone in the DNC has some information on this.

I think the final 2 months of the campaign (including the debates) are going to be the most interesting aspect of this campaign/debacle.
