The batshit crazy conservative nutters that nominated Trump do loathe her though

(18,184 posts)The Repub base is more isolationist (as per Rand Paul) or wants to work with the Russians rather than the oil sheiks or radical rebels.

(375 posts)When Trump and Cruz talk about bombing the ME to hell to get rid of ISIS.
Don't they?
StayFrosty
(237 posts)Do you think the US should adopt a laissez faire attitude towards ISIS?
Not sure our European allies would like that very much
CJCRANE

(48,181 posts)On economic policy she is a neoliberal. On foreign policy she is a neocon. On social policy she is all over the map, a social progressive on abortion rights and LGBTQ rights, a social conservative on the war on drugs.

Trump is probably ok but potentially a wildcard. Conservatives don't like surprises.
