Hillary tops Trump in # of endorsing retired Generals and Admirals: 95 vs. 88.

This is probably the first time in the modern era that more retired military leaders endorse the Democrat.

(Romney had 500 such endorsements when he ran.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton on Wednesday unveiled a list of 95 retired generals and admirals endorsing her for president, one day after Republican candidate Donald Trump released a list of 88.

The former secretary of state's list include just six new names not previously announced. In its release unveiling the longer list, the Clinton campaign declared that Trump "lacks the knowledge, stability and values" to be commander in chief, and noted that 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney had the endorsements of 500 former military leaders.

"Clinton is getting the backing of more senior military service members and former officials with command and management experience than any non-incumbent Democrat due to her proven record of diplomacy and steady leadership on the world stage," her campaign announced.
