Yesterday, in the close aftermath of the Isis bombing in Pakistan, Donald Trump made one of the more incredibly grandiose claims of this incredibly bizarre campaign season: that only he could solve the war with Isis.
“I alone,” he boasted.
In this regard, he is so much like the Obama of 2008 that it is downright scary.
Almost eight years ago to the date, at a San Francisco fundraiser, Obama said, “…foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain.”
After belittling Mrs. Clinton’s experience as First Lady as being ceremonial fluff, Obama went on to say that among the three candidates for President, only he could pass the 3 a.m. Leadership Test. Indeed, he alone possessed “the judgment, the temperament to ask the right questions, to weigh the costs and benefits of military action, who insists on good intelligence, who is not going to be swayed by the short-term politics.”
What a piece of work.
And as for the ultimate foreign policy test, the one John Kerry called, “passing the Global Test,” Obama proposed a diplomatic Manhattan Project of sorts, with Iran’s Mahmoud Amadinejad. The same Ahmadinejad who said his country’s objective was to destroy what he called corrupt western powers.
“Our objective is to annihilate all corrupt powers that dominate our planet today,”
We all know how that turned out. Let me ask you, does anyone, other than the Obama administration, believe that the world is now safer place with the infamous “Iran Deal” in place?

LOL! And you probably missed the evidences of Cruz's own version of egotistic narcissism.
Any one running for Prsidnt has an ego - count on it. Trump speaks Truth about Islam/ISIS and Cruz talks tough but then chastises Trump for rhetoric/incitement for stating that Islam hates us.Spin away, but all you're gonna get is dizzy.
