[quote]U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lambasted Donald Trump's foreign policy platform as "dangerously incoherent" in a speech on Thursday that cast her Republican rival as both a frightening and laughable figure.
In remarks that at times resembled a comedy roast, Clinton unleashed a torrent of polished zingers and one-liners to attack Trump's policies and character, suggesting Trump might start a nuclear war if elected to the White House simply because "somebody got under his very thin skin."
"Donald Trump's ideas are not just different, they are dangerously incoherent," she said to a room of supporters in San Diego, California. "They're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies."[/quote]
This is all very true.
I mean she's not wrong by any means.
Huh, this statement is true

What's garbage is this election is turning into another absolutist competition. People are going to vote Hillary because they believe that trump will destroy this country and by the same token the other side is voting trump because they're convinced Hillary is going to destroy this country
Now some of that fear isn't exactly unwarranted but still, its fucking ridiculous dogma and pandering have led to the two most unfavorable candidates sparing off to make the other look slightly more unfavorable
This was her best speech this entire election. If she does more of this, she should win
i want Trump to debate hillary or sanders, it would probably be funny for everyone.

too bad she shouldn't ever win
Funny, someone who clearly can't keep external affairs, internal, comments on someone else. Hope Hillaryious never wins, for the sake of the US.

Whenever I see Clinton, she reminds me of the 2008 recession. When I heard her says "will that end racism, will that end sexism." all I can think a repeat of that crisis will happen once she is in office.

I struggled reading that sentence. Read it three times, still don't understand it.

When Sanders proposed to break up the big banks responsible for the recession, Clinton said "Will it end racism, will it end sexism?"

So no matter how much sense she makes, she will still pursue the same polices which will generate the same result. Sure she sounds reasonable against Trump. That because he plays the role of a heel and troll. Yet when someone (Sanders) has sounder critiques of her actions, she struggles.

Trump is going to have to step it up/change strategy for the debates or he's going to be exposed as a raving loon
Honestly, I'm starting to slide a bit more towards Clinton, at least over Trump.
She's garbage, yeah, but with her we'll just get 4 to 8 more years of the same shit. Trump would drive us into the ground. Besides, she's still under investigation, she may be forced to resign anyways.
Best case scenario, Bernie wins California and and hopefully the nomination, but that chance is getting slimmer every day.
I still can't wrap my head around this election. The whole thing is a big joke.

I can't wait for Brooker's 2016 Wipe, looking at how this year has gone, and at his reaction to Trump in the 2015 Wipe.
For the sake of the entire world, I hope Hillary wins. 4 to 8 years of the same is better than 4 to 8 years of radical change whether it's to the right with Trump or the left with Sanders.
[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;50449564]of the same shit[/QUOTE]
oh so like
the obama policies under which the DOW tripled, the cost of gas got cut to a third, unemployment halved, and our standing in the world reached normalcy after the last guy got shoes thrown at him?
wow it must be so bad to be in america rn

The cost of gas dropping was not because of Obama, but by OPEC wanting to force out all the other competition. They undercut all the off shore drills and tar sand operations so hard that gas prices dropped spectacularly. The other guys couldn't keep up with OPEC and stopped producing oil. Right now, gas is set to go on a massive up swing back to going to $3 or more at the pump.

It like The Joker rigged the whole thing. Remember The Dark Night scene were he had two boats set to explode? It feels just like that.

Whenever I hear trump though I think of all the times I've seen his class of people squish others and abuse their power and think of the monarchies of Europe that led to ww1. Trump's platform of nationalism, isolationism, and us first will start wars, what's even more scary is that he doubles down like some neurotic gambler. When he says he's going to bring all our troops home to bases in the US to save money the Pentagon contradicts it, so he goes and doubles down on it by saying going to make everyone pay for our troops, again the Pentagon says they already do, and then he doubles down on that saying hes going to renegotiate all our military treaties, even as those treaties cannot be undone. It's scary what lengths hes willing to go to to be right
There is a huge lack of American Flags in that video, shame on Hillary.
Don't think Hillary is in a position to mock someone on foreign policy :v:

Trump is a troll. When trolls can gain as much influence as he has in a short time, it is a sign things have ceased to function long long ago.
Which means even if Clinton did not have the baggage she has, she cannot do shit to fix things.
The disasters you speak of are on their way of their own accord and it cannot be stopped.

She kind of is, being a former secretary of state and her opponent's experience being "China and running the miss universe pagent"
Whatever your grievances, she is on paper way more qualified to speak on foreign policy than trump
ALL of Trump's "policies" are just a series of bizarre rants. Dude just opens his mouth and lets his unfiltered stream of consciousness pour out.
[QUOTE=wystan;50449728]Don't think Hillary is in a position to mock someone on foreign policy :v:[/QUOTE]
She really is though dude. She has a history in this field, has friends in other countries and has endorsements from quite a number of actually decent politicians.
Trump has endorsements from Russia and NK. Both total shitholes ruled by assholes with iron fists at the expense of their citizenry. No remotely respected politician actually likes Trump, they all think he's a fucking joke of a human because frankly, he is.

What's wrong with radical change? It's this kind of attitude that holds the country in stagnation.
This country could use change - hopefully towards that of Sander's ideologies.

You can have an argument with nearly any other candidate from Sanders to Gary Johnson to a number of the Republicans and come down to basic disagreements that you can hash out and compromise on. They all fall on a spectrum that begins at isolationism.
Trump isn't even on this spectrum. He seemingly has no idea what he is talking about. He flips, radically, on a day by day, week by week basis. You can absolutely have problems with Clinton's approach to foreign policy but atleast it's logical. Trumps foreign policy has no logic and makes it seem like he genuinely has no idea how geopolitics works, in any regard whatsoever.

Considering Trump's foreign policy is "im gonna make great deals with china and also i will solve isis by torturing and killing their families", slight hypocrisy there.
