I will be a commander in chief who will never mislead us into war. I will have a Vice President who will not conduct secret meetings with polluters to rewrite our environmental laws. I will have a Secretary of Defense who will listen to the best advice of our military leaders. And I will appoint an Attorney General who actually upholds the Constitution of the United States.

Translation: No attack politics means you don't attack me, and, oh, by the way, you're an illegal president.
rebuild our relationships in Europe = suck-up to the French.
