I am interested in how each would handle foreign policy, especially the Democrat candidates.
Right now, anyone should be better at foreign policy than what is currently running things. I consider the Iran deal a total failure. Not one good thing happened and as far as I am concerned a bad deal is worst than NO DEAL.
Before the liberal comes back with a retort about war, please go back and consider who was in charge during most of our previous wars, and the amount of lives lost. We had over ten thousand TIMES (X) the losses in Vietnam than in Iraq. Not trying to trivialize any war losses, just showing how better we are at wars over a period of time. We had almost equal losses in Korea, more killed in WWII than Korea, more in WWI than WWII. Actually, we lost as many in one battle during the civil war as we did in Vietnam. I am just suggesting that even though there may be need to go to war, we have vastly improved to the point of having less lost lives over the decades. Don't get me wrong, I dislike wars even though I have served in Vietnam, Dessert Storm and Iraqi freedom. I considered it my duty, not boasting.
In my opinion, Hillary would not do much better dealing with Iran than Obama did. But, we don't know because she never answers questions. Kerry is an idiot puppet and does what he is told to do, including following Fonda in protesting at the White House during Vietnam. I haven't heard too much from Sanders regarding Iran, but that may be due to not bothering to Google his statements on the subject. I do think that Biden has the best chance of securing the Democrat nomination for his party. No big controversy or stigma surrounds him, other than his working with Obama. And many wouldn't hold that against him. So did Hillary.
We all know that almost anyone running for office will tell you what you want to hear to get the vote. About the only one that you can really count on to be proactive is Trump, and that is kind of scary to some of us. Hopefully, he just says things to stir the pot, and isn't as reckless as his rhetoric.
My interest lately, has been Kasich. I was hoping that he would throw his hat into the ring and now that he has, I am listening to see what he has to say. Right now, he sounds like the type on non-divisive leader we may need. He seems to use more logic in his leading than hard right. He seems more pragmatic. Unlike Obama, who is either incredibly stupid and lacks common sense, or just blatantly attempting to damage America with his socialist ideology.
This is my opinion and I reserve the right to modify it at any given time

Well, I am changing one part. I don't know what I was thinking when I said "ten thousand times" the deaths in Vietnam. It was more like about 15 times the deaths. I was probably thinking ten times and inadvertently typed the thousand for some reason.
