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.
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.
For a conservative he’s very free with other people’s money.
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.
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.
Emasculation?
It’s RE-masculation and DE-hillarization.
I’ve noticed of late that Hotair/townhall have been very anti-Trump! I’m tired of their hit pieces against him...as of today I will no longer visit their sites and will remove them from my bookmarks!
What foreign policy?
Look at the shambles republicans and democrats have made of the world since July 1990.
In July 1990, under president H.W. Bush, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, met with Saddam Hussein and discussed the impending Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
Ambassador Glaspie told Saddam that “the Kuwait issue is not associated with America”, essentially giving him the US okay to invade.
In August, 1990 Saddam invaded Kuwait.
In January 1991 the US led forces invaded Kuwait and forced Iraq1 forces out in what is known as the firdt Gulf War.
That action led to the ongoing military containment of Iraq, the 9/11 attack on the USA, the second Gulf War, the fall of Iraq, the rise of Iranian power in the mideast, the fall of Libya, Egypt, Syria, etc., etc., etc.

Huge meltdown among Dems with the WikiLeaks story, and Town Hall posts hit pieces on Trump?
We need to purge the Republican party after Trump wins.
Trump called rebuilding our military to be so strong we never have to use it. The statement is entirely consistent with the above. Who wants to go through the drama of the cold war ever again? It was expensive.
And, it is our neocons who have got us in trouble with Russia. When the soviet union collapsed, it was still a nuclear superpower - lest anyone forget - capable of reducing us to cinders. But our neocons insisted on poking the bear while he was wounded. How's that working out for us now? Our neocons keep thinking we can walk right up to the Russian border and they can say nothing.
And, our neocons thought we could swindle the Russians out of their Black Sea ports by cozying up to the Ukraine. Suppose we saw the Chinese making whopee with native Hawaiians in a move to get us out of Pearl Harbor.
Look at it from the Russian perspective. How about if we saw Chinese carriers docking in Pierre and Miquelon Islands? And we don't have a millenium of Russian paranoia about foreign invaders - though we are beginning to learn.
Our neocons have to be about the dumbest folks in the world. They wanted to play the Great Game and move the pieces around the chess board. But it's not a game for silly children.
Hey fool, why do you keep posting these anti trump articles?
