2016 has been an unusual election in oh so many ways…..we had the huckster Trump winning the GOP nomination…..we had an old Jewish candidate that energized the young….we had our first woman that won her nomination…candidates in a Twitter war….more email scandals than we needed….all in all a very strange election process indeed.

I believe that this election will come down to the foreign policy the voter thinks is best for this country…..and because of that the Neocons, war hawks if you will, are evacuating from the GOP and lining up behind a Dem…that is right the neocons are supporting Hillary Clinton….(how strange is that?)

As Hillary Clinton puts together what she hopes will be a winning coalition in November, many progressives remain wary — but she has the war-hawks firmly behind her.

“I would say all Republican foreign policy professionals are anti-Trump,” leading neoconservative Robert Kagan told a group gathered around him, groupie-style, at a “foreign policy professionals for Hillary” fundraiser I attended last week. “I would say that a majority of people in my circle will vote for Hillary.”

As the co-founder of the neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century, Kagan played a leading role in pushing for America’s unilateral invasion of Iraq, and insisted for years afterwards that it had turned out great.

As an old hippie anti-war protester and now an anti-war writer I find this totally bizarre that a Dem, a Blue Dog Dem, can gain the support of so many neocons during the election process…..

How can this be happening?  Is it something in the water?

“Americans aren’t just electing a President in November,” Clinton told a crowd of supporters and military personnel in San Diego in early June. “We’re choosing our next commander-in-chief—the person we count on to decide questions of war and peace, life and death.”

This was Clinton’s first direct and sustained attack on Trump, and though Democrats had been preoccupied with the unsavory identity politics of the presumptive Republican nominee, Clinton devoted only a few lines to calling out Trump’s habits of “demonizing Muslims” and insulting women, Mexicans, and the disabled. Most of her speech went after Trump’s utterances on foreign policy. “Like many across our country and around the world, I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for President cannot do the job,” she said. “Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different—they are dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas—just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.”

Is this a dream?  Or maybe someone is smoking a mixture that should be made illegal?  I’m confused.
