Well, that's what Trump would have done. Trump is a politician and a salesman. He exploits every opportunity there is to close the deal. It's in his nature. Hillary had a hawkish background so Trump played the role of a reasonable centrist on foreign policy. Had Bernie been his opponent, he would have flanked him to the right.


Maybe. But he didn't come with all that baggage that Hillary did.



a very good point, she certainly had the baggage, and the dems were so sure she could beat trump, they ignored all of her scandals and ran with her, BIG MISTAKE!


Yup. I guess it's easy to see all this in hindsight but it appears they did make a big mistake.
