78. Or call him a warmonger and he'll call them on it and tell them to vote on whether to bomb Syria.

Then they'll run away, like they did when he asked them to repeal the AUMF. Or this summer when they had better things to do and asked him to do their job on foreign affairs.

Then call him weak for not going to war or a dictator for taking action in a crisis they didn't think deserved their time. Their tools will call him a warmonger no matter what he does.

I see a pattern here...
