Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump not qualified to be president | CNN Video at Link

(CNN)Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton criticized presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Thursday, saying his recent behavior shows he's not qualified to president.
"When you run for president of the United States, the entire world is listening and watching," Clinton told CNN's Chris Cuomo during an exclusive interview in Chicago. "So when you say you're going to bar all Muslims, you're sending evidence to the Muslim world, and you're also sending a message to terrorist ... Donald Trump is essentially being used as a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism."

She added, "Based on the way he has behaved and how he has spoken and the policies he has ... thrown out there, I think it adds up to a very troubling picture."
Clinton also addressed the disappearance of EgyptAir Flight 804, saying the disaster "shines a very bright light on the threat that we face from organized terror groups."
"It reinforces the need for American leadership -- the kind of hard, steady leadership that only America can provide," Clinton said.

AND From TPM:

“Based on the way he has behaved and how he has spoken and the policies he has literally thrown out there, I think it adds up to a very troubling picture,” Clinton told CNN’s Chris Cuomo in an extended sit-down interview that aired Thursday.

The former secretary of state reserved particularly scathing criticism for Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslim immigration, advocacy for nuclear proliferation and suggestion that he would meet with North Korea’s authoritarian leader Kim Jung Un.

“When you run for president of the United States, the entire world is listening and watching,” Clinton said. “So when you say, we're going to bar all Muslims, you are sending a message to the Muslim world and you're also sending a message to the terrorists because we now do have evidence, we have seen how Donald Trump is being used to essentially be a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism."

And Sanders, for that matter.

More importantly, she will be the nominee.

She's so qualified she can't even secure her email and yet you want her with the security of the country?
Uh, no.

Do you suppose Trump will react to this as she did? Prepare for a scene! But really, he won't even respond to this. He'll have his big boy pants on.

She cannot use the same memes and attacks on Trump that she did on Sanders -- and, it looks like she is starting too (just like she did with Obama). Don't think for a second that if she recycles her attacks and memes on Trump and his supporters that Trump will not at every chance over-shout her and say she can't even be original. And that will lose her a lot of support.

I am saying this because I don't want a Trump victory.

Trump is definitely not qualified. Are you saying otherwise?
