Hillary's foreign policy disasters should not be ignored.

Iraq a mess
Libya a mess
Syria a mess
Yemen a mess
Afghanistan a mess

The Refugee crisis is a direct result of her term as Secretary of State and her policies towards Iraq, Libya and Syria.

She does not have one success as SOS only disasters that still linger to today.

Her foreign policy means death and destruction for countries it targets. The world will not be safe with her as commander and chief.

He has not shown the knowledge to make decisions. Sanders has been in Congress while these "policy disasters have occurred, what did he do. One thing he did was to vote to go into Afghanistan. We are dealing with ISIS and Sanders campaign has falsely placed the blame on Hillary.

Her trumpeting of Support for Bush's war of aggression in Iraq and her direct handling of Libya and Syria created ISIL.

The problem when she did not have anything to do with the rise of ISIS. Do you think it would be fair to say Sanders is responsible for all of the gun violence deaths since he voted five times against the Brady Bill? There are about 80 people a day dying from gun violence, those can go to Sanders.

You dont want to discuss her policies because they cannot be defended.

Her foreign policy goes beyond a vote in the Senate in favor of invading Iraq.

Now we have 4 years of her as SOS that was a complete disaster. Her record proves her unfit on foreign policy and unfit to be commander and chief.

Just because she held the position of SOS does nit make her responsible for terrorists any more than Sen Sanders who holds an official position.
