TRUMP BLASTS HILLARY IN NEW YORK COUNTERATTACK

Billionaire to Bernie Sanders' voters: Join us

Donald Trump, in a Wednesday morning much-anticipated speech from New York City, unleashed a scathing counterattack against likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – who a day earlier, had just pointed out why the billionaire businessman was a sub-par pick for the White House, in a blistering verbal assault of her own.

Among some of Clinton’s speech highlights from Tuesday, in Columbus, Ohio: Trump’s foreign policy ideas were dangerous, and “he shouldn’t have his finger on the button,” and his Wall Street ties would “take us back to where we were before the [economic] crisis.”

Trump hit back hard.

“I’d like to share my thoughts about mistakes in this upcoming and very important election,” he opened, speaking of the reasons he was running for president. “[My family and I] think big, then we make it happen. … I’m running to give back to this country which has been so very good to me.”

His tone was even and professional, hardly off-the-cuff.

“When I see the crumbling bridges … or the factories moving overseas to Mexico,” he said, “I know these problems can be fixed. But not by Hillary Clinton. Only by me.”

He then underscored a cornerstone of his political views: “Jobs, jobs, jobs.”

And in somewhat of a surprising move, Trump said this: “We’ll never be able to fix a system by counting on the people who rigged it in the first place … That’s why we’re asking Bernie Sanders voters to join us.”
