I'll say this: I'd like to have a better sense of what a President Trump would do wrt foreign policy.

Clinton is a clear and present danger to world peace.

Lots of (non-white) people are going to die, unnecessarily, under a Clinton presidency. ( I include "non-white" because there's a chance it it will catch the attention of some portion of a huge portion her slavish, star-struck political fan-base.)

This we know by what she's said, and by what she's done. Over many years.

Trump is a tabula rasa...Christ, Clintonites, look it up if you don't know what it means.... in spite of his vague/wild/ pronouncements re.
ISIS, etc.

It *appears* that he ( Trump) knows next to nothing.

However.... ignorance ... in this VERY particular case....may indeed be bliss.

All, i know for *sure* is that I don't want Clinton conducting US foreign policy over the next four years.
