Hillary gets the Jump on Trump! Releases paper on Donald's dangerous foreign policy!!!!

Loose Cannons Tend To Misfire: Donald Trump’s Dangerous Foreign Policy

Continuing his efforts to convince the Republican establishment and the American people that he’s “presidential,” Donald Trump is set to give a foreign policy address today. But nothing he can say can hide the long list of dangerous national security proposals he’s put forward over the course of this campaign. He has used the most reckless rhetoric of any major presidential candidate in modern history.

He has no knowledge or understanding of the long and complex history of American foreign policy. He made a lot of superficial judgements that would backfire if he were ever in the WH.

how well that worked out for us.

Republicans are pro-war no matter what. It's how they and their pals get filthy rich overnight. Trump is simply lying in order to gain moderate voters, but his campaign rhetoric was something else altogether.

As Hillary has said over and over again, paraphrasing Maya Angelou's: "When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time."

Should the American people be stupid enough to fall for Trump's kumbaya foreign policy speeches, and the GOP is successful at stealing elections again, we not only lose the SOTUS for a generation but we'll have new wars launched under a President Trump and President Cruz.

That's all the warning American voters need to reject Trump and Cruz.
