FEATURING PHYLLIS BENNIS – Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a lengthy foreign policy speech in San Diego, California, on Thursday evening, just days ahead of the state’s crucial primary election. Her speech was not as much a survey of her positions as much as a take-down of Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee.

Clinton’s shot out clever one-liners clearly intended to provoke Trump, such as calling him “dangerously incoherent,” and “thin-skinned.” She is of course right on Trump and her criticisms are obvious. But what was most interesting were those moments during her speech when she revealed her positions on how we as a nation interact with the world and how she would lead it as Commander-in-Chief.
