but that isn’t really the experience you need for foreign affairs.
You being the expert on what Sessions knows and what experience one needs for foreign affairs and all.

I don’t think they did, but I’m sure they will tell you those are the “good” CFR non-neocon guys.
Did any of them work with Heidi Cruz on her CFR open borders paper?...Just wondering.

Looks like Cruz is coming out of the neo con closet.

Because having CFR members as any part of one’s advisory team is dead giveaway for any administration and candidate since pre-WWII; always has been. I guess one could say so what as every administration has been full of CRF/Tri stock. The real uni-party that remains out of the spotlight and scrutiny and makes-up the core of every administrations senior ranks. The article is highlighting that this has been well documented and known for two generations for those willing to do their homework and not scoff.

“Heads they win, tails we lose. That’s the name of the game.”

“No one is trying to stop Cruz.”

“Everyone is trying to stop Trump.”

Well-stated conclusion to a very good post. Thanks chris37. BTTT!

How is it possible that this author thinks we know nothing of the CFR?

Cruz looks more and more like a standard issue Neo-Con

Did you read all of the article or just the part until Cruz looked like the "wicked neocon"?

The article goes on and Trump had more CFR hits than Cruz. All of Trumps top advisors, yes top, were CFR. One was the President of CFR. Two of them were at the top of the food chain

What the article is getting at is that CFR is embedded everywhere you look. Republican and Democrat alike. Civilian and military also. Hell Clinton and Chelsea are CFR members

This is what I am finding with most Trump supporters, they do not read all of the articles or either they do not comprehend them. They get to the part where, "OK I go a gotcha on Cruz now I can nail him" comment and miss the brunt of the post.

Just think what they are really missing about Trump by skimming the surface.

Probably the same stuff the phone lady missed and voted for ObucketOshiite.

Wake up cruzbots!

Then explain to me why does Trump choose 3 CFR members as his top advisors as the article says?

Does this make him as bad as Cruz or does this make him a better leader because he chose the President of the CFR?

Cruz is shaping up well as a proxy for the NWO bush clan. The !JEB¡ and rube campaigns were just smoke and mirrors. I was wondering who the stalking horse in this race was going to be, now I know for sure

Then explain to me why Trump chose 3 of his top security advisors from the CFR?

Does that make him as bad as Cruz or does this make him a better leader because one of them was the President of the CFR?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Didn't read the article did we. Read the last 6 paragraphs of this article.

Trump supporters do not read or comprehend. They scan until they get to a "Cruz gotcha" then comment. If the article runs Trump down first they just jump back in with "LIAR".

I really feel sorry for these folks.

Kind of reminds me of the phone lady that had voter remorse after electing Obama when she did not get all her free shiite. I hope that time does not come for our sake.

More proof that Cruz is a DC Uni-Party whorw.

My apologies to whorws, everywhere.

I have too much respect for “whores” to call Cruz by that description.

If you liked the Bushes Middle East policies then you’re going to love that of President Cruz.

Trump needs to hold closely the names of his advisors because sadly they are subject to vicious attack by the establishment once they are identified

I have read even his delegates are coming under personal attack

Is it possible he is so hungry for the White House he believes he will be calling the shots once these people help him to take it?

Interesting to speculate what cabinet post might be required for Jeb as part of this deal .. Something where he can stay in national politics for a future run.
