As Secretary of State,
Senator and First Lady, I had the honor of representing America abroad and
helping shape our foreign policy at home. As a candidate for President, there’s
nothing I take more seriously than our national security. I’ve offered clear
strategies for how to defeat ISIS, strengthen our alliances, and make sure Iran
never gets a nuclear weapon. And I’m going to keep America’s security at the
heart of my campaign.
Because
as you know so well, Americans aren’t just electing a President in November.
We’re choosing our next commander-in-chief – the person we count on to decide
questions of war and peace, life and death.
And
like many across our country and around the world, I believe the person the
Republicans have nominated for President cannot do the job.
Donald
Trump’s ideas aren’t just different – they are dangerously incoherent. They’re
not even really ideas – just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and
outright lies.
He
is not just unprepared – he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that
requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.
This
is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard
to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under
his very thin skin.
We
cannot put the security of our children and grandchildren in Donald Trump’s
hands. We cannot let him roll the dice with America.
This
is a man who said that more countries should have nuclear weapons, including
Saudi Arabia.
This
is someone who has threatened to abandon our allies in NATO – the countries
that work with us to root out terrorists abroad before they strike us at home.
He
believes we can treat the U.S. economy like one of his casinos and default on
our debts to the rest of the world, which would cause an economic catastrophe
far worse than anything we experienced in 2008.
