1. Hillary Clinton will pound Donald Trump's foreign policy in speech today

Hillary Clinton will give a speech in San Diego on Thursday that her aides say will directly target Donald Trump's foreign policy. "It's important that people understand this is not just about Republican versus Democrat, that Trump is unlike any presidential candidate we have seen and he is fundamentally unfit to be our commander in chief," Clinton aide Jake Sullivan said. Sullivan said Clinton will focus on Trump's willingness to sit down with North Korea's Kim Jong Un and his comments about NATO being obsolete and a bad deal for U.S. taxpayers. Some voters have found Trump's unorthodox foreign policy ideas refreshing, Sullivan added, but "once people fully understand what Donald Trump is proposing... it will not be appealing to any of them."
