...I'm downstairs, tying flies, so no TV, just a public radio feed. So, I assume I'm hearing Donald Trump speak on foreign affairs. This is going to be the first time in my life that the GOP is running a candidate to the LEFT of the Dems. Essentially, and to rather polite, sparse, applause, Donald Trump is laying out Bernie Sanders' foreign policy, and suggesting that he won't look to ANY experienced hands from either dem or rep camps going forward.
Now, couple this with essentially no consistent social policies stated except that he doesn't like NC messing with bathroom laws, and that Planned Parenthood is a good organization, Trump may be running as Bernie Sanders without a real clue how the whole government thing works. Very odd.

He's the ultimate "say anything" candidate riding on a massive wave of demagoguery. "He's got the best words."

It's a long time ago it is no secret that since 1945, the US became more than very odd.

Dude, it would be better for you not to know this. I will not do it only for the reason that I would be banned here, because I'll tell you what I really think about the United States, you are unlikely to be surprised and delighted with this, because you know me well.

Add: Slick, actually, I looking long ago for at least one little, the smallest a reason that I could say something good about the USA, but you somehow obstinately continue to escalate hatred for this country.

We already know what you are told to think about the US.

Hmmm, Trump's new/old campaign slogan is hearkening back to the olden days of the "fallen hero" Charles Lindbergh and his involvement in the America First non-interventionist campaign. How quickly people forget the mistakes of the past and trip all over it again.
