yeah while blowing off intelligence agencies

going on Twitter rants....he'll be impeached by june 2017

Who wants to bet Trump resigns during his 1st term? He's never carried this much responsibility and faced this much criticism in his life. He's probably already longing for the private sector, where he's the king of his own little world.

Hillary should run again. Next time Trump won't be able to cheat. Hillary's cut out for the job. She has a work ethic. She's solid. She's well respected in Washington. Trump isn't. He's going to learn that the hard way. I think he'll resign. He's not cut out for this.

Trump would have just used the Dick Cheney strategy against Bernie and scared moderates away from him. Whenever Democrats go soft on foreign policy, Republicans pounce on it and become war hawks.

Maybe, maybe not. Much of the country is tired of war. Certainly tired of nation building and interventionism. Most people, including the average republican doesn't want war, they just want to a strong defense. It's just that during the Bush years, the neo cons duped the average republican and moderates into being nation building interventionists. the 9/11 attacks helped get people on board that otherwise wouldn't have.

Well, that's what Trump would have done. Trump is a politician and a salesman. He exploits every opportunity there is to close the deal. It's in his nature. Hillary had a hawkish background so Trump played the role of a reasonable centrist on foreign policy. Had Bernie been his opponent, he would have flanked him to the right.

Maybe. But he didn't come with all that baggage that Hillary did.

a very good point, she certainly had the baggage, and the dems were so sure she could beat trump, they ignored all of her scandals and ran with her, BIG MISTAKE!

NY Times did an article yesterday about people in the rust belt really believe Trump is going to bring the jobs back. The reporter threw some cold hard facts their way about outsourcing and they just insisted that they're keeping their faith. How sad.

You ever look into history and all the things the intelligence agencies have gotten us into over the decades? Including trying to assassinate your buddy Castro. It's amazing how people these days are so misinformed. Take your buddy Colin Kaepernick. Rich athlete, raised by white people. But takes a knee during the anthem to protest racism and oppression. Then wears a shirt with Fidel Castro on it and talks about all the great things he has done. Castro. One of the 20th centuries worst oppressors. And to boot, Castro was racist himself against black Cubans.

Yes, people are misinformed.

There are reasons that some black people in the US and especially those in Africa see Castro in a positive light. It has to do with the important roles Cuba played in Algeria, Ethiopia, and later in Angola during their wars to throw off colonialist rule, and their opposition to the Apartheid government in South Africa. It has to do with how the Cubans helped Namibia gain their freedom. Of course, most US media didn’t cover these stories, so people are misinformed, or rather, they are not informed at all.


We can rightly view Castro as a repressive, murderous tyrant (not unlike the man he overthrew and replaced) and still manage to understand why he isn't viewed this way by everyone across the globe.

Agree.


Baby Doc Duvalier died a few years back. He and his father killed,jailed a greater % of the population of Haiti than Castro did to Cuba. Plus they ran the economy and country into the GROUND. But they pretty much bent over for Western interests, so when they die...there's no outcry from the Western press about "death of evil dictators" as with Castro.

It is very difficult for me to comprehend how any heads of state or representative thereof, would attend the funeral of any of these brutal dictators.

The U.S. has historically aligned itself with all kinds of horrible world leaders. The criticism of Castro by our government and our press has nothing to do with his leadership or morals, it has to do with the fact that he wouldn't let us turn his island into a U.S. resort destination with casinos and brothels. Bautista was open to these things, which is why the U.S. turned the other cheek toward his tyrannical behavior.

Yes. Haiti is a perfect example.

The US has a long history of backing murderous regimes, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean. Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, Ubico, Trujillo, Duvalier, Pinochet, Somoza (father and sons)....


There are many Americans that don't mind human rights violating and murderous regimes as long as it's 'our bastard' doing it. The cries against someone like Castro ring hollow when these same people remain silent on all the others.
