It is fitting that a former professional wrestler whose finishing move was known as "The People's Elbow" would explore a career in public service. Clinton Seeks to Exploit Trump's Weaknesses Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:24:17 GMT From NBC's Andrew Rafferty and Carrie Dann It's no wonder Hillary Clinton chose to make foreign policy and national security the focus of her first major policy address since Donald Trump clinched the GOP nomination. Just look at these numbers: A whopping 64 percent of voters ranked Trump "poor" or "very poor" when it comes to handling an international crisis in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll in April. And in an NBC poll in May, 56 percent chose Clinton when asked which of the two candidates would be better handling foreign policy. Just 29 percent chose Trump. But the speech went deeper than just foreign affairs. She said Trump has a "very thin skin," "dangerously incoherent" ideas and called his potential election a "historic mistake." Those attacks point to another potential pitfall for Trump we saw on display this week when we lashed out at the media -- his temperament. We made the point that only 12 percent of registered voters gave him high scores for having "the right temperament" to be president. Trump leads Clinton in dealing with the economy, protecting U.S. interest in trade issues, and dealing with Wall Street -- but this week we haven't heard much other than controversies surrounding donation to veterans and Trump University. Clinton's aim here is quite clear: Provoking Trump into a counterattack that's so dramatic that even swing voters who don't love her think he's gone too far.  Click for more.
