| Clinton: Trump's ideas 'dangerously incoherent' | |
| Clinton: | |
| “I’m going to keep America’s security at the heart of my campaign... we’re choosing our next commander-in-chief. | |
| “Like many across our country... I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job.” | |
| She says it simply, flatly. | |
| “Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different, they’re dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies. | |
| “He is not just unprepared. He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility. | |
| “He should not have the nuclear codes because it’s very easy to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because someone got under his very thin skin. | |
| “We cannot let him roll the dice with America.” | |

| Clinton says the election is about a choice: | |
| “A choice between a fearful America that’s less secure and less engaged with the world, and a strong, confident America that leads to keep our country safe and out economy growing.” | |

| Invoking Charleston shootings, Haley urges Trump to avoid 'divisive rhetoric' | |
| South Carolina governor Nikki Haley said she wishes Donald Trump communicated differently because bad things result from divisive rhetoric, as evidenced by last June’s massacre in Charleston, the AP reports: | |
| The Republican governor said Thursday that divisive speech motivated Dylann Roof to gun down nine black parishioners at historic Emanuel AME Church. Police have said the white 22-year-old charged with their murders wanted to start a race war. | |
| Haley endorsed then-candidate Marco Rubio ahead of South Carolina’s primary. She said she has vocally criticized Trump because “I know what that rhetoric can do. I saw it happen.” | |

| Remember how before that Democratic debate last October, CNN had an emergency lectern handy in case Joe Biden decided to suddenly join the race?
