One sentence stand out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle. He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do they have trouble ciphering his words?

"“Mr. Trump’s own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world,” it reads."

So they are saying that he would be exactly the same as Obama?

Worst of all- - - - -dishonest? How can they say that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“He is fundamentally dishonest. Evidence of this includes his attempts to deny positions he has unquestionably taken in the past, including on the 2003 Iraq war and the 2011 Libyan conflict. We accept that views evolve over time, but this is simply misrepresentation.”

Because the secret deals setting the traitors up for life in a one world government will be exposed.

Exactly! An outsider becoming president has the potential to expose all kinds of corruption coming from the whole DC establishment.

Oh no, the neoconservatives might be deprived of implementing a policy of winning the hearts and minds of the people of Muslim countries. No nation building for you.

Exactly what I thought. You no one can tell me with a straight face that there aren’t other security experts that aren’t chomping at the bits for those jobs because they just might have a better way and will take a no nonsense approach to our national security.

75 idiots. They’ve had over 30 years to straighten the mess out and have failed miserably. At least three wars, trillions spent and thousands killed since the first Trade Center bombings and we have nothing. Absolutely nothing to show for it other than complete chaos in the middle east and the terror groups like ISIS going stronger than ever in the region. Waterboarding my ass. Chop some heads off! Bomb the crap out of them as long as they’re attacking and kidnapping, etc, and then get the hell out.

And that’s not to mention 30 years or more of complete failures to secure our borders and stop the rampaging godlessness, lawlessness, socialism and assaults on liberty here at home.

The GOP deserves all the grief we can pile on them. Nothing but jackasses and spineless turds.

forgot an important link...”PNAC’s web site said it was “established in the spring of 1997” as “a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership.””

They didn’t mention invading Syria. They must not have a problem with that.

Check out their names, all neo-cons and their open border toadies. Trump is sure smoking the rats out of their holes, so that they are exposed as to who they are, what they are, and what their motivations are.

Misleading headline alert!

Hope Trump has a nice, big round file!
This group is somebody's blog hoping to be considered an authoritative source or to have some connection with government or the military in some vague way.

Right up there with "Climate scientists say," in the climate scare scam.

Has anyone who went to the given link ever heard of any of those people?
