Saying what needs to be said

The Clintons are bought and paid for. Donald Trump says what needs to be said; he just has terrible delivery.

Russian planes buzz ours; do we retaliate? We police the Near East while Europe picks its nose. Europeans have more to fear from ISIS than we do, but we carry the load and debt. What is “frank and insightful dialogue?” People are tired of political talk.

Bring the troops home and let Europe and Japan fight their own wars. Let them instead of us go bankrupt fighting.
