America will never vote for someone they perceive as soft or weak. Not with San Bernardino,Paris, Colorado, and unfortunately on and on. I have surprised myself with these feelings since I came of age during Vietnam and have always been opposed to war. This is a new enemy. We aren't fighting a country this time. We are fighting a horrible ideology that means to kill us.
