Trump a 'loose cannon', not worth the risk: Clinton
May 05, 2016 03:37
Launching a frontal attack on Donald Trump, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has dubbed the Republican presumptive presidential nominee as a "loose cannon" on which the country cannot take a risk.
Clinton, who is most likely to lead the Democratic party in the November 8 United States presidential elections against Trump, fired her first salvo against her fellow New Yorker as it became evident that he was now the Republic presumptive nominee.
"I don't think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like Donald Trump running our country," Clinton told CNN in a major television interview, the first after the crucial Indiana primary wherein she was defeated by her sole Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in a tight contest.
She is still headed to be the party's presidential nominee because of her delegate count.
"Donald Trump has said it's okay for other countries to get nuclear weapons. I think that's just downright dangerous. He has said wages are too high. I think we need to have a raise for the American people, raise the minimum wage, get wages back going up," Clinton said.
"I think when he says women should be punished for having abortions, that is just beyond anything that I can imagine, I think most women can imagine," she said in response to a question.
"Well, he's a loose cannon. He's somebody who has said so many things, and I'm sure he'll be scrambling and his advisers will be scrambling, but he's already said all of these things," Clinton argued.
