| John Podesta, chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, has released a statement saying that Trump is not prepared to be president and is “too big of a risk”. Here’s the statement: | John Podesta, chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, has released a statement saying that Trump is not prepared to be president and is “too big of a risk”. Here’s the statement: |
| Fundamentally, our next president will need to do two things: keep our nation safe in a dangerous world and help working families get ahead here at home. Donald Trump is not prepared to do either. Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he’s too divisive and lacks the temperament to lead our nation and the free world. With so much at stake, Donald Trump is simply too big of a risk. Hillary Clinton has proven that she has the strength to keep us safe in an uncertain world and a lifelong record of fighting to break down the barriers--economic and social--that hold working families back. While Donald Trump seeks to bully and divide Americans, Hillary Clinton will unite us to create an economy that works for everyone. | Fundamentally, our next president will need to do two things: keep our nation safe in a dangerous world and help working families get ahead here at home.
