How mind blowing will it be to see the Republican candidate attacking the Democratic candidate for voting for the Iraq war? That could be a huge moment in the foreign policy debate, and one that could pull many swing voters his way.

He'd also go after her for being too much for "free" trade.

The GOP has changed dramatically ever since Dubya left office. Perot would be proud.

That would be one reason why the Republican establishment will sit on its hands during the general and prefer to focus on congressional races.

Democrats are delusional if they think TRUMP can't beat Hillary in November.

Underestimate THE DONALD at your own peril.

I figured it would be something like that. If it was gun to your head and you had to pick Trump or Hillary, who?

Hillary's position has always been that the weapons inspectors should have been allowed to finish their jobs. Had they been, they would have found no WMD, and hence no war.

..and yet she still voted for Bush to go into Iraq.

Hillary's vote is widely known. Voters don't care about a decision from 14 years ago. Domestic issues will decide the election.

There's a reasonable case that Trump would be the strongest Republican nominee of the 6 left.

Her votes, her reciting all the Bush administration lies in her speech with that vote, and all of her other history of a hawkish record, and her association with Henry Kissinger are absolutely an issue today.

It is for you, but I'm saying for most voters, other issues are on their mind than some obscure line against Henry Kissinger.

Between health care, the Iraq war, and the general neoliberal direction of Hillary's policies, she is toast against Trump. Bernie Sanders is basically the only person standing in the way of Donald Trump at this point.

Sorry Ebowed, that's nonsense.

Trump has used free trade to ensure his products are made cheaply. Sure, there's a danger in underestimating Trump there's also a massive risk of overestimating him. The GOP waited too long to hit Trump, he's got plenty to be hit on and hard.

I think that generally this forum vastly underestimates Trump against Clinton. He's defying all odds, and Hillary is carrying way too much baggage to be a strong candidate.
