Claim that Trump, despite his bombast of aggression, is the best Republican on foreign policy.

"With typical hyperbole he declared that “I’m the most militaristic person” in the race. But all of the leading Republican candidates, with occasional hints of heterodoxy (it’s not clear where Rand Paul really stands these days), favor a policy of intervention and war. Compared to them Trump sometimes sounds like a veritable peacenik."

Yikes! These warmongers, including Hillary, may put Bernie Sanders in the White House.

"At the first Republican debate one suspects the GOP crew was prepared to break into the Maori Haka while adding a chorus of John McCain’s “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” to their routine. They were almost indistinguishable from each other. Except for Trump.
First, the GOP candidates scream in apocalyptic terms. Said Chris Christie: “I don’t believe that I have ever lived in a time in my life when the world was a more dangerous and scary place.” Jeb Bush argued that “the world is slipping out of control” and America’s security is “in the balance.” This is nonsense. When in history has a country been as secure as America from existential and even substantial threats? The world is dangerous today, but not so much for the U.S., which dominates the globe like no country has ever before done." 

True.

"The Islamic State grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which arose to fight the U.S. occupation and Shia-majority rule. Former Baathists and Sunni tribes enabled ISIL’s blitzkrieg across Iraq’s Sunni heartland because they came to prefer an Islamist Dark Age to murderous Shia rule. There were no U.S. troops in Iraq because George W. Bush failed to win agreement from the Maliki government. Nor would a few thousand U.S. troops have stopped the Islamic state; instead, a garrison would have provided a convenient target for outraged radicals of every sectarian viewpoint."

True.

"Seventh, the GOP candidates have spoken almost in unison on the need to support allies. They treat handing out security guarantees as similar to accumulating Facebook friends: the more the merrier, irrespective of whom or why. For instance, Christie said “building stronger alliances” was a “pillar” of his policy. He was particularly upset that the Saudi king decided not to come to America to the administration’s Gulf summit."

That's hilarious.

Right-wingers tend to be married and have better relationships than left-wingers.

Jeb Bush is against encryption.

Black shooter of three news reporters wanted race war. This is what Obama has done to race relations.
