Not sure why you even read that rag and I don’t mean that as an attack, but all their articles are pathetic and elitist establishment crap.

Cruz is not a contender. He can’t get the delegates he needs, and he has no prayer in a convention fight.

What part of this summary do you disagree with?

“You could put the Sanders, Clinton, and Cruz foreign policies on a recognizable ideological spectrum, left to right. But not Trump’s. It inhabits a different space because it lacks any geopolitical coherence. It’s all about money. He sees no particular purpose for allies or foreign bases. They are simply a financial drain.”

Using your rational Sanders is even less of a candiate.

The Krauts love affair with Cruz on full display. NOTHING about Cruz is Reaganesque.
Reagan believed in peace through Strength. That is pure Trump!

When is this garbage publication going to fold? Its founder is turning over in his grave!

Pretty balance article by Krauthammer. The Donald needs to think a little more before running his mouth. I say that as a supporter.

“Cruz is not a contender. He can’t get the delegates he needs, and he has no prayer in a convention fight.”

At this point, neither does Trump.

I’d really like you to critique his take on Trump’s foreign policy. Is his description accurate?

All Trump is saying is that we have to pull back and rebuild our own country for awhile. Its true our infrastructure is pathetic.

Trump says we can’t afford to support every other rich country in the world because we are a debtor nation and we need to get out of debt. He’s right. Other nations need to shoulder more responsibility. They let us do it because we will.

Trump is right about N Korea. China needs to take care of that problem not us.

Trump is right about S. Korea. They are like the 5th largest economy in the world they can defend themselves. We don’t need 28,0000 troops on their border.

Trump is right about Ukraine. They are the backyard of Europe who does nothing to handle that problem just like they refused to handle the Bosnian situation until we were forced to step in.

Krauthammer lets always remember is a former Mondale speechwriter. He’s not the pinnacle of conservatism in any way shape or form. Kraut is total establishment all the way and he follows the partyline.

This is BS.

For decades, the lying politicians and their foreign policies have only looted the American tax payers, created enemies all over the planet, made a mockery of Americas legacy. Even our foreign neighbors like Mexico and it's people have ZERO respect for America, our laws or borders. As they defecate in our faces while the lawyers/politicians reward the Mexican people by the millions to disrespect America. This is rubber room thinking.

Compassionate wars lasting 10 years costing trillions? It's total bull sh*t. A few insiders got wealthy beyond their dreams, while Middle America got economically gang banged and left holding an empty bag. For generations, Americans will pay a big price and they won nothing. Not even a benefit.

We've had nothing but loser leadership for decades. Our borders, our criminally corrupt country killing trade policies, and fraudulent foreign adventures costing trillions. We've been had, looted, robbed, and sh*t on.

I knew Ronald Reagan and Ted Cruz is no Ronald Reagan. But then, its Charles Krauthammer going overboard for Cruz.
