You know I cast one of my first votes for a Republican, Ed Brooke. But I've noticed some changes. A lot of people who profoundly disagree with me have noticed some changes too.

They have no where else to go. Now we get trump who's sometimes to her left sometimes to her right. Where have all the consistent parties gone? Clintons got rid of them.

The Repub base is more isolationist (as per Rand Paul) or wants to work with the Russians rather than the oil sheiks or radical rebels.

Do you think the US should adopt a laissez faire attitude towards ISIS?

Not sure our European allies would like that very much

Neocons and neolibs don't like the Russians, they prefer the Islamic monarchies and radical rebels.

Maybe it's because the Clinton's are more successful at getting people to support polices that screw them over then do Republicans. Look at NAFTA.

On economic policy she is a neoliberal. On foreign policy she is a neocon. On social policy she is all over the map, a social progressive on abortion rights and LGBTQ rights, a social conservative on the war on drugs.

They know she won't hurt their money or their power.

Trump is probably ok but potentially a wildcard. Conservatives don't like surprises.
