I wonder if she's going to talk China and Russia, where Trump seems weak. She also will probably talk Israel, which will be interesting given recent stuff with Sanders.

Hopefully she talks reasonably about the middle east pushing back against the Muslim ban, that's a point that needs to be attacked. I hope this speech is uplifting rather than fear mongering, because Trump already has that market cornered. She could be a optimistic realist here and come off looking good.

a couple of weeks back I was talking to a Trump supporter member of my sons extended family - and got told that a vote for anyone but Trump was a vote for Hilary which is the mirror image of a vote for anyone but Hillary is a vote for Trump

It's only a binary choice to those who's purposes it serves to delineate it in that manner

Sure, Trump's foreign policy performance would probably be dreadful, just given the absurd things that erupt from his pie-hole. But Clinton's record in this area is one of war, suffering, and highly questionable decisions. This could backfire on her.

Hillary Clinton, after Honduras and Libya, is the worst person to try to talk up her foreign policy "successes" and the "good that she wrought".

My ability to stretch reality doesn't extend that far, and I don't believe it does, either, for you DSB. Some people can turn on a dime when it is illustrated that there is rot in the core of a politician. Some people take a long time before they see it.

I respect your opinions, but I can only conclude you are in camp 1. I do know that when you meander over to camp 2, or even if you don't, I'll still be your friend.
