Reply #62: Who pulls what strings? [View All]

There are some factors involved with this scenario that even the "masters of the universe" may find themselves unable to control. While the American people are suspendended in a state of ignorance, there are opposing forces who will often disobey them, including but not limited to, the Sunnis. There is more than one way for this to play out.

Nevertheless, I hold fast to my belief that the regime is somewhat neutralized by a candidate with foreign policy experience. The public is far too conditioned to fear, to suddenly turn around and whew.

All of the Democratic candidates must be able to present a coherent domestic platform. However, they are assumed to be better than repubs on those issues. And thanks to Clinton, we have even edged up on "who does a better job with the economy." A "D" after your name goes far in this regard. Our weakness is defense and foreign policy...plugging that hole will take more than mere name dropping and rhetoric.
