Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton took shots at Republican frontrunner Donald Trump after both candidates logged big wins in Tuesday night’s primary contests.
“Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it. Engage our allies, not alienate them. Defeat our adversaries, not embolden them,” Clinton said at an event in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Clinton had won races in Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, widening her lead over Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), whom she congratulated on running a “vigorous” campaign.
As she has for the entire race, Clinton positioned herself in the speech as the candidate with the policy plans and experience to succeed in the White House.
“Every candidate makes promises,” she said. “But every candidate owes it to you to be clear and direct about what our plans will cost and how we’re going to make them work. That’s the difference between running for President and being President.”
I thought that was a bang up speech. Very heartfelt, says the newest member of the HRC fan club. Well done, Madame Secretary!
“Clinton Takes Shot At Trump After Wins”
Damn, you meant figuratively.
No, no, no. Even Americans who don’t like Trump don’t want to hear about how America needs to keep itself presentable in front of the neighbors. Go after Trump as an incompetent ignoramus, an empty blowhard, a lying conman, a disgusting racist with dictatorial fantasies, not as a shonda for the goyim.
Great speech, Hillary, and great night!!
Must be hard for the Bob Woodwards, who have taken the “Washington is broken because of the partisanship of two parties who are essentially equally to blame” false equivalency approach for decades. One party is on the verge of nominating a thoroughly competent, sane and accomplished policy maker who makes coherent points. The other party is nominating a racist reality TV celebrity who is more atuned to professional wrasslin gimmicks than policy. How do you square away that these are essentially two sides of the same coin, Bob?
