Interesting article.

I don’t think it is necessarily meaningful.

How is this company not bankrupt? The people who were leaders in getting us to the present state, now want to sell advice. Astonishing.

Donald Trump supporters may find the article interesting.

The policy is bankrupt. The policy makers — and policy advisers — are all rich.

I understand what you mean. It can be demagogued very easily.

But it has little more meaning than using the same plumber or caterer or surgeon.

I suspect this firm and others that do the same work have a lot of clients from both sides of the aisle. No doubt they have a lot of private sector clients as well.

No doubt Trump uses this type of service in his private business. It makes a lot of sense if you do business overseas. After all, you don’t want to invest a billion dollars in a venture only to have a coup take it all away next month.

My uncle went to one of these firms to help decide about having the Japanese do some work for him. He ended up having the work done in south Korea.

Is it? He seems to be all in for provoking war with Russia and supporting our "friends". On H1B Viwas and his initial support for TPA (til Obama changed it) his differences are only by degrees.

I'd rather that pols didn't use consulting firms. It opens the opportunity to be manipulated.

Opposing the invasion of a weak country by a stronger neighbor is provoking war? Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler are in strong agreement with you.

Yeah sure, just like he supports Rubio’s and Christie’s position of a no fly zone in Syria, right actually HE DOESN’T.

Ted Cruz, as anyone who watched the last debate is Pro-American in his foreign policy, and doesn’t adhear to nation building, nor to needlessly antagonizing dictators just for an ego boost.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it turns out that this “consulting firm” is funded by George Soros.

Poppycock. You've been reading blandishments by FR posters instead of Cruz' actual written policy paper. As to TPA, he doesn't believe this Congress will approve Obama's deal.

Folks, this is not a big deal and it isn’t necessarily BAD.

Getting a variety of viewpoints and information isn’t terrible....

I get much of my news from....gasp....Free Republic! I hear plenty from fellow FREEPers that makes me consider and form my own outlook. Some person who has a perverse world view can read FR and draw very different conclusions.

All of these people read the same Constitution and draw very different conclusions—especially the Demon Rat....

Let’s be careful about drawing conclusions from this information. :)

Odd that people are assuming the company gave bad advice.

No one even knows what advice they gave, or how it was followed, changed or ignored.

Agree. Most likely they just prepare open-source Intel briefings for candidates on the road, look at emerging threat scenarios, etc. Different candidates can use the same source for info and still arrive at different foreign policy positions. No big deal, really.
