"a candidate with a track record dripping with blood, betrayal, and failure has chosen that arena to challenge a candidate with no track record at all and a well-earned reputation for calling it like it is"

While no track record, his espoused policies clearly define the chasm between NeoCons and PaleoCons.

Trump would make "allies" pay their own way...or go their own way without our protection.

He would not get involved in military adventures except when core, strategic US interests are at stake...and would then make it actual war.

He believes the mercantilism of China is a strategic threat. And he believes we can do business with Russia based on shared interests.

A wall. A Muslim ban.

What's not to like? The American people are responding because THOSE policies are what they want.

Oh, you’re quite correct, but matching her performance versus his policies is disastrous politics - it’s ceding the ground to him - he can always adjust his policies but her performance is written in blood. He can change his mind on how he funds the wall, for instance, but she can’t bring four dead Americans back.
