Dont argue with me. Most Trump supporters on this thread seem to think it means getting rid of NATO.

Not true. Most, like me, want NATO members to pay their fair share and pay the recommended 2% of GDP.

A hollowed out NATO is not in our security interests. What good is an alliance where the members refuse to pay the money needed to keep the alliance militarily effective? Then it just becomes a "paper tiger" unable to achieve its objectives.

Read the thread and Trump.

Trump said to wapo that :

Trump said that U.S. involvement in NATO may need to be significantly diminished in the coming years, breaking with nearly seven decades of consensus in Washington. “We certainly can’t afford to do this anymore,” Trump said, adding later, “NATO is costing us a fortune, and yes, we’re protecting Europe with NATO, but we’re spending a lot of money.”

By attacking Rand, Marco, Ted, Nato, Scott W, Carly and on and on, Trump is not going to have any support left.

Trump even attacked Jeb, after Jeb is out of the race. And Carson, who damned Trump with faint praise.

I get trashed by Trump people on this thread, when I will support Trump over Hillary, even through I want Cruz on the ticket.

Amazing.
