Trump, Cruz talk tough now, but that’d likely fade in White House

The winner of the November presidential election will likely sound a bit more restrained on national security upon stepping into the Oval Office, the nation’s intelligence chief said Monday.

“I am struck with how simple things are on the campaign trail and how the very same issues are hard in the confines of the situation room,” said James R. Clapper, head of the nation’s intelligence community, referring to the nerve center in the West Wing of the White House.

He noted that the job of president “has a tempering effect on anyone.”

“There are far more complexities, policy implications, legal implications, than it would appear on the campaign trail,” Clapper said at a morning briefing with dozens of journalists at a Washington hotel sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor....

Anyone who had anything to do with Obama's foreign policy doesn't have a leg to stand on and shouldn't be trying to give advice to others.

Clapper is NOT serious, though his observation may be largely true.

Anything posted by 2ndDivisionVet is not worth one second of your time. It’s just propaganda. Like a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile, it’s not worth my time to suffer through the usually long posts to find a out time and time again that it is more hate Trump propaganda.

Your paid shilling has gotten a little less active and a little more subtle in the last few days. Treading carefully between continuing to do your social media warrior work that they pay you to do while avoiding that ride on the lightning.

So this time, your choice of propaganda pieces is brilliant! It seems like a lefty article that hits both Trump and Cruz, and who can accuse you of shilling for that, right? Except.....by equating Trump and Cruz and speaking of them both as if either could be President when in fact only Trump has any chance at all, you are performing a valuable service for the GOPe and its StopTrump efforts.

Congratulations! Good work.

I agree , on both points
The Constitution is supposed to limit the power of government
and Obungler selectively superseded both Congress, and the Constitution.

2nd is NOT a paid troll.

I disagree with him about Trump and a few other issues, but he is a long time respected Freeper.

Keep it classy, Freepers.

Defiant : "..your choice of propaganda pieces is brilliant!"

Why are you dumping on him ?
This was an informational piece - not citing either candidate , and yet you berate him ?
Save the "ad hominum" attacks for the campaign.

I'm sure our enemies don't have the same problems.

Agreed ! That is why I used the term "selectively"
We are supposed to be a Nation governed by laws - all laws.
You don't get to choose which laws you will enforce, otherwise you violate the intent of the Three Branches of Government . The fact that no one in congress won't call him to task for violating laws that already exist demonstrates how quisling they are in the performance of their legal duties.

Trump is in this to accomplish the goals he is setting out to accomplish. He isn’t in this for money, career or legacy.
