From the article. I'd like to see this tattooed on every HRC supporter in a very tiny font:
"When Trump ticks off specific policies, as he did Tuesday, in some cases for the first time, he can be positively a relief from the fearsome prospect of four years of Clintonism. (And to risk another prediction, Clinton will barely survive one term, let alone win re-election for a second.) The speech is rich with examples, so I will settle on three for now as it is likely there will be more to say about Trump’s foreign policy thinking. (“Trump’s foreign policy thinking.” Never imagined I would write such a phrase.)"
Okay, maybe just the first sentence.

I disagree with you Sir, on HRC. Like others I am NOT voting for her, but at the same time, until the GOP pulls itself together, she won't have a real opponent to force her out of office. You could get an indie prospect, but who out there has the chops, experience, and backing to go against her? Personally I'd welcome someone who would and could. But I don't see it happening for another eight years.

Who plays the hindsight 20/20 game. According to him today, he could have fixed everything and never would have made any of the mistakes of the past. This is the risk one takes with a complete outsider. I don't have a problem with outsiders, but Trump has in fact flip flopped on positions several times and few are calling him on it.

Populist Trump was for the war before he was against it (to borrow a quote from Sec Kerry).
“Are you for invading Iraq?” Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, “Yeah, I guess so.”
Trump's foreign policy is based on licking his finger and raising it up to determine where the popular winds are blowing. Everyone is against the war now? I guess I am too...
In Clinton's case is more like.... How does this increase my power and stature?
Both suck as candidates.
