Clinton visits San Diego

Days  before California’s June 7 primary election, former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton, 68, made one last push for votes in the Golden State with a campaign stop Thursday at the Prado in Balboa Park.

For about 35 minutes the presidential candidate addressed the hundreds of people gathered to tell them about her  national security plans, while also finding time to attack her Republican rival Donald Trump.

While never mentioning her Democratic Rival Bernie Sanders, Clinton said Trump is “temperamentally unfit” to serve as president and questioned his experience and leadership ability.

“As a candidate  for president there is nothing I take more seriously than our national security,” she said. “I offered clear strategies for how to beat ISIS, strengthen our alliances and made sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. And I’m going to keep American 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, a 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,” she said.

Clinton said her five-point national security plan is to continue to build a strong home base, work closely with American allies, use diplomacy to defuse problem and have a real plan when dealing with terrorists.

Amongst the Clinton supporters in attendance was Chula Vista resident Jill Galvez.

“Hillary Clinton’s speech was powerful and important for our country to hear,” she said. “The media has been saturating us with Trump’s juvenile statements for months. It’s refreshing to hear thoughtful comments from our world future leader. And it was electric, just being in the room with her as  she delivered her speech on the historic Prado stage with a background of beautiful American Flags.”

Clinton is running against Vermont senator Bernie Sanders for the Democrat presidential nomination.
