We have not declared war on anyone or any country since World War II.
Neither Korea or Vietnam were declared wars.
Legally speaking, declaring war can allow us to take certain actions that might not be permitted otherwise.
Up until now, every act of Muslim terror has been treated as a one off, criminal act, unrelated to others, and are handled as civilian crimes in our criminal justice system.
If these acts were treated as acts of war, the situation could be much different.
We’ll see.
Mr. Trump and Gov. Pence are on FIRE!
For well over a year, I have argued for a Washington wake-up call whereby the president and Congress enact a formal declaration of war against ISIS and all other Islamic jihadist terror groups.

Obozo will never declare war on “Islamic jihadist terror groups”, he won’t even utter the words,”Islamic jihadist terror groups”.
.
He’s one of them.
Congress won’t support that declaration of war - but that’s OK. At least it puts our domestic enemies on record for later reference when the nuke goes off in Manhattan.

I hope it is a declared war on a specific enemy, and not some generic war on terrorism.
As Ms Coulter made clear in her very good article, this may prove to be Trump’s “First Mistake”.
Kudlow is an open-borders guy. Read carefully into his support.
Pence is essentially open borders, and supports “Free Trade” (TPP) as a good GOPe should.
Read Coulter’s piece about Lincoln’s VP. A strong “Build The Wall”, no Crony Capitalism and 2nd Amndt selection would help ensure a successful Trump Presidency.
Now, the GOPe have their replacement for Trump.
The GOPe led senate will move to Impeach Trump within 60 days of the election.
What is “an unregenerate supply-sider”? Did they mean to say “unrepentant supply-sider”?
Pence collapsed like a $2.00 beach chair when challenged by George Stephanopoulos on the Indiana RFRA.
He ran home with his tail between his legs, threw a lot of conservatives/evangelicals who backed him down the stairs, and wound up with a horrible replacement bill.
O goody, a global war. Any particular enemy or will we just spend trillions chasing ghosts? No veteran would agree it is wise to start a global war.
