4. Fighting terrorism with Trump's ego driven rhetoric is a recipe for disaster

I know we can count on Hillary to make thoughtful measured decisions and when she takes actions they will be decisive. What I love about the Democratic Party is its aversion to fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is just authoritarianism by another name and tips over into bloodshed to force people to comply. Even when the "idealists" think they have the best of intentions, extremism by definition excludes most people and is therefore never a natural fit. The Republican Party has become overrun with extremists and now they have Trump as their mascot.
