She, too, is a pragmatic internationalist battling against nationalist anger, cautioning that the turmoil after the so-called Brexit vote underscores a need for “calm, steady, experienced leadership in the White House.”

All this claptrap about “pragamatism” and “caution” is really media-speak euphemism for “she doesn’t know what to do”

Trump is all over the clueless bitch.
