Hillary Clinton on Thursday warned voters that electing Donald Trump would be a “historic mistake,” unleashing her most forceful and direct attack on the celebrity billionaire to date. Her campaign hyped her remarks ahead of time as a major foreign policy address, but it quickly became apparent her speech would delve into her policy views far less than it would into those advanced by Trump.

“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,” Clinton declared at the San Diego event. “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.”
Clinton’s remarks were a blistering criticism of the man she’s all-but-certain to face in the general election, and it was evident that she’s now turning her attention away from the Democratic nominating contest, which isn’t quite in her rearview mirror just yet. She made no mention of Bernie Sanders during her 30-odd minutes on stage, and largely described her own worldview in unmistakably centrist terms aimed at the broadest swath of voters possible. With the exception of a brief mention of climate change and a strong defense of the Iran nuclear deal, her speech wouldn’t have sounded all that odd coming out of the mouths of a moderate Republican. She even nodded directly to the opposing party while on stage, once when she name-dropped Ronald Reagan and a second time when she spoke of “the work that Republicans and Democrats alike have done over many decades to make America stronger and more secure.”.....................................
