National Security and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election
While presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is channeling many of the frustrations Americans have with national security and foreign policy, his prescriptions for fixing them do not measure up.

As investigations into the deadliest shooting in recent American history continue, fears of terrorism and lone wolf attacks have risen amongst Americans. The mass shooting of a gay nightclub in Orlando is the latest in a series of similar attacks including San Bernardino and the Boston marathon bombing, forcing the two presumptive presidential candidates to elaborate how they would each respond to such crises.
Rachel Kleinfeld spoke to Background Briefing's Ian Masters about how Trump’s appeal to nativism after the Orlando massacre is likely to resonate with Americans frustrated by a broken immigration system and how Hillary Clinton’s plan to focus on lone wolf terrorists presents challenges with which intelligence services are ill-equipped to deal.
This interview was original broadcast on KPFK’s Background Briefing.
