Vulnerable GOP Sen. (Toomey): Clinton Poses Bigger Threat To The U.S. Than Trump

[DonViejo]

When asked on Thursday morning which presidential nominee poses a bigger threat to the United States security, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said that Hillary Clinton poses a bigger threat than Donald Trump, citing the former secretary of state's foreign policy record.

"I’ve said Hillary Clinton is completely, permanently unacceptable. We have seen her in office. We have seen what she did. In addition to jeopardizing classified intimation that jeopardizes our security, we’ve seen the decisions that she has made, whether it’s in Libya, whether it is the incredibly failed Russian reset, whether it is, you know, lying to the families of the men who were killed at Benghazi," he said on the Philadelphia radio station WPTH's "Chris Stigall Show."

"Point me in the direction of any place, anywhere in the world where our American interests are more safe and more secure today than they were when she became secretary of state. You can’t. Because that place doesn’t exist," he continued. "Look, I’ve got real problems with things that Donald Trump has said on foreign policy, with regard to NATO, with regard to nuclear proliferation, but Hillary Clinton’s got a track record of disastrous foreign policy."

Stigall asked Toomey who is more dangerous after noting that Sen. Mark Kirk (R-OH), another senator up for re-election in November, said on Wednesday that he thinks Clinton poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than Trump. The senators' comments follow a letter penned by 50 Republican national security experts who said they would not vote for Trump. They wrote that Trump has "alarmed" American allies with his "erratic behavior." Over the past month, Trump has suggested he may not follow through with U.S. obligations to NATO allies and called on Russian hackers to release Clinton's emails.

1. Emails, Libya, Russia, Benghazi

That's really what they are going with?

[Thinkingabout]

2. If he thinks Trump's lack of a foreign policy is better than Hillary's foreign policy

And foreign experience then this tells me he has poor judgement of the two candidates and if I could vote against him I would do so.

3. I see, so when gopers say Sarah Palin knows more about

foreign policy than drumpf, they're saying he's NOT dangerous?

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Tomey has to maintain the agreed upon Rethug

message of the day. If and when Tomey goes away,do you realize how much of a blow that will be for the Rethugs. That turns Penn Blue for the next twelve years. Bring it baby.

5. He's losing.

6. Good riddance, Toomey

You just buried yourself, which is fine with us. With Philly and Pitt voters out in full force, you'll be out of a job, Paddy, and Pennsylvania will have its first female Senator, Katie McGinty.

7. Pattoomey should be gone

Part of a do-nothing senate. Bad for PA, bad for the US. Bye-bye.

[StevieM]

8. What a bad human being. Hillary did not lie to the families of the men killed in Benghazi.

And he knows it.

But like all Republicans he doesn't care. Benghazi was turned into a political attack by the GOP almost immediately after it happened. To them it was an opportunity, not a tragedy.

9. Also, Hillary singlehandedly took the US to war with Iraq

and it was her supporters who were practically begging for a war and calling anyone who didn't share their war boner an anti-American traitor. And the Republicans were protesting the war and certainly not doing completely juvenile things like calling French fries "freedom fries".
