Already, Clinton has claimed international affairs as a key battleground against Trump, devoting her first major address of the general-election campaign to the topic.

Most Americans can’t name 5 foreign heads of state, and have no broader view than their next handouts. They have no understanding of international issues, treaties, trade agreements, etc.
On Hillary’s expertise — she always brags about visiting 112 countries or whatever. And what does she have to show for it? Apparently nothing she finds worth talking about.
ISIS wouldn’t be the threat that it is today without her help...
