WASHINGTON, (APP/AFP) – Hillary Clinton
this week revealed a formula she hopes will help beat presidential rival Donald Trump in November: a not-so-subtle suggestion he is unhinged.
A string of 2016 presidential hopefuls have tried to land a punch on
“The Donald” with little effect.
Trump has brushed off earnest-sounding accusations that he is not
presidential, largely because many Americans seem to be clamoring for an
unconventional leader.
Democratic strategists privately admit that casting Trump as a “loose
cannon” similarly misfired — that tack, they say, only played to the
Republican’s tough man brand.
So in San Diego on Thursday Clinton tried a new formula.
Trump, she argued, is not just unpresidential and unpredictable, he’s
too unhinged to be in power, or as she put it — “temperamentally unfit” to be commander-in-chief.
“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.”
