Republican Donald Trump is receiving an enthusiastic response from veterans as he criticizes Democrats and vows to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Trump told veterans gathered at the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Charlotte that: “Our politicians have totally failed you.”
He is criticizing rival Hillary Clinton and the Democrats gathered in Philadelphia at their national convention for failing to mention Islamic State militants during their convention’s first day. He said that “they really established ISIS. Because of weakness.”

Clinton on Monday spoke at the same gathering and offered a scathing critique of Trump’s foreign policy, casting him as too reckless to serve as the country’s commander in chief.
But when Trump mentioned Clinton’s name on Tuesday, it was met with shouts of “Lock her up!”
Trump joked, “I guess she didn’t do very well” with the crowd.
He also tweeted that Democratic speakers didn’t talk about the ISIS terrorist group along with “broken borders” and other Trump talking points.
Why aren’t the Democrats speaking about ISIS, bad trade deals, broken borders, police and law and order. The Republican Convention was great

Dems don’t want to talk ISIS b/c Hillary’s foreign interventions unleashed ISIS & her refugee plans make it easier for them to come here.
