Passing out the barf bags! LOL!
Articles like this are the reason I never travel to Townhall anymore. Townhall and this author belong in hell.
NEOCON Alert Bags!
Hey Steve. The status quo is over.
How did this rot get past the editor?
Townhall stock just went down.
Conrad Black is more perceptive in his article than this Townhall/Salem Media clown Steve Chapman.
Conrad Black:
“Now that Trump is the nominee, having come from the political wilderness and paid for his own campaign, he will drastically scale back the stylistic infelicities (which are as disagreeable to me as to most serious people, but are just part of his shtick). He is not ideological and will make the system work — he is, as he never tires of telling us, a deal-maker. In foreign policy, he will be neither trigger-happy like George W., nor an other-worldly pacifist like Obama.”

Townhall will become a footnote in history after Trump becomes president.
Poor frustrated neocon chickenhawks.
If I were the OP, my day could be much easier by publishing a link to Townhall and being done with it instead of slowly releasing this spew sporadically. This article is just one of many.
For a conservative he’s very free with other people’s money.
Jeez TownHall, get behind the Republican nominee to beat Hilary you slugs!
NATO has been an organization without a mission since 1989.
Western Europe has been allowed, for far too long, to expand and pay for its social programs due to living under the US nuclear umbrella and not having to adequately defend themselves.
I’ve seen horrible estimates that, for example, that due to how their military is structured, deployed or whatever that Italy would have only been able to bring 500 soldiers to bear at any given spot to defend their nation. I found that incredible to believe but also, not surprised.
The West is weak. Hell the Royal Navy’s current flagship is an amphibious assault ship.
Meanwhile, have a few million more refugees, America indirectly takes on more indirect costs and liabilities to cover their asses.
“Townhall will become a footnote in history after Trump becomes president.”
Maybe sooner! From Tne Treehouse!
“Here’s where it gets even more interesting. Mercer taking such an aggressive position also thwacks the financial teams behind all the pro-Cruz, anti-Trump web sites.
If that ripple builds, and there’s no reason to think it won’t, Erick Erickson (Resurgent), Ben Shapiro (Daily Wire), NRO, the entire Salem Media Network (Human Event, Hot Air, Twitchy, Red State), and all the affiliated punditry (Hugh Hewitt, Jonah Goldberg) could be left high-and-dry.
The entire media Cruz Crew watching their career$ flu$hed down the toilet.”
Fool: I’m thirsty.
God: Here’s a river.
Fool: What do you mean, God, “DRINK”? I’m thirsty!
Republicans were united in opposing Communism. Other than that they have not been united on foreign policy.
GHW Bush invaded Iraq. But he left Sadam in place and opposed nation building. Dubya campaigned in 2000 against nation building.
The big government neo-cons (xDems) favored nation building.
The GOP has been split on nation building at least since isolatonists who opposed entering WWI. It is still split on that topic.
Complicating the issue is the Evangelical view (including mine) of the special place of Israel. This view transcends politics and party and even patriotism for many Evangelicals.
“The GOP legions regard Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as failures because they have been insufficiently willing to challenge our adversaries and stand with our friends. “Our allies don’t trust us, and our enemies don’t fear us” is a claim made by one Republican after another. “
Well, at least someone is paying attention. As a world traveler, I find the above comment 100% accurate.
