Hillary Clinton is the secretary of state who knows how to build alliances. She built the sanctions regime around the world that stopped the Iranian nuclear weapons program. And that's what an intelligence surge means, better skill and capacity, but also about our alliances.

I'm really, really worried about the Trump team, and I want people on the team who I think are adults who have judgment and won't do anything stupid.
