We really have no competent people running for president. This has been a sham election.

So this guy who just finished grad school, has no track record, is going to lead the free world through PR. Thanks. I'll pass.

His mother is married to a woman. Reported by the Washington Post in a sympathetic article (author says they got permission to report this--I wonder why permission is required).

What are you talking about, man? His candidacy is earning Utah names like "America's political conscience" and "The designated drivers of the Republican Party."

Chino, you have fallen for a fraud. For a Congressional staffer who was egged on my by some political consultants and neocons. For a guy who is totally unqualified.

And btw, if you are a neocon, you would definitely prefer Hillary to Trump.

Hillary believes in muscular internationalism like JFK. Hawkish but not unilateralist.

I don't think the world has gotten more stable under Obama's pussified non-interventionism.

we have a hell of a lot less Americans needlessly dying in sectarian civil wars in the Middle East.

And he wasn't hands off. He backed getting rid of Gaddafi and others.

This article very clearly shows that Evan McMullin was among those recruited by Bill Kristol and the neocons.

Certainly Hillary's views align with the neocons much more closely than Trump's.

I'm done with the neocons. They have caused too much grief, suffering, and death.

However you define, she wants what fails. This is not 1960 any more and her revisionist approach to internationalism won't work under her guidance. I wonder how many more junior varsities will spring up.
