Cleveland: The Republican National Convention would make a strong case to the American public against presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as to how her policies and that of President Barack Obama have made US unsafe, the Trump Campaign said on Monday.
Speakers after speakers at the Cleveland Convention, "would talk about the failures of the Obama-Clinton administration and setting up the issues in each of the relevant blocks that we're stressing tonight," Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort said.
"Making America safe, has to pieces to it. It -- focuses on certainly the international peace that, you know, is the point of the campaign...the points the campaign is making relate to certainly the rise of terrorism, -- the dysfunctionality in the Middle East, a lack of leadership presented by the Obama and Clinton administration around the world and the consequences of that weak or failed leadership," Manafort said.
"We will be stressing, in the course of the week, an indictment of Hillary Clinton as the ultimate establishment candidate. In a year of change Donald Trump clearly represents the change candidate and our opposition is that Hillary Clinton not only is the establishment candidate, but she's the epitome of the establishment," Manafort said giving a preview of the convention.
"Her 25 years in public service going back to the 1990s all the problems that she is campaigning against are problems that came on her watch and with her involvement and we find it ironic that the things that she says are broken that she wants to fix are usually things that broke down during the last eight years during her term of foreign policy standpoint and during the eight years of the Obama-Biden administration," Manafort said.
He said the talking issues were of her character, of her failed leadership, of her personal issues whereby she has put personal interest above political interest or has used levers of power as secretary of state to advance interest of the Clinton Foundation or other certain donors of hers.
All this will be discussed during the course of the week "because all of them, we believe, relate to talking about how the system is not working," Manafort said.
Meanwhile, the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee lashed out at Trump, saying that America deserves better than him.
"Americans deserve better than Trump and (Mike) Pence's shared support of torture, Trump's ban on Muslims, his disregard for the threat of nuclear weapons, his secret plan to destroy ISIS that he won't tell anybody, his praise of dictators and his abandonment of our allies like NATO," said the DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz at a news conference.
