With anyone else from our two parties as CiC, no. Our politicians are worthless, and none of them are leaders.
I agree Trump would be a better CiC, however I disagree that Lib politicians could not successfully command our military during a war.
I believe the difference between Trump as CIC and say Bernie is in the number of lives lost.
Democrats are ruthless people. The lives of individuals are meaningless to them. To the Democrats it would be win at any cost. Lives on either side are of no consequences.
With a Democrat in charge of a full on war expect the eligible draft age to be reach the 50+ range.
If the war was being waged against free Americans in America, then yes, I would agree.
