This is not aimed at any candidate because it is spread around. But a CFR connection disqualifies a candidate in my opinion.
I have little use for the CFR but Bill Buckley was a member of CFR. Other than in the minds of Birchers, was he disqualified from conservative leadership by that membership in CFR? If so, we would not have had, would not have and never would have developed the conservative movement that elected Reagan. I would prefer that none of our leaders have CFR connections but Cap Weinberger and George Schultz are two Reagan cabinet members who did and probably not the only two.
