* The Republican base is embarrassingly out of touch with its pundit class.
* Our ancestors endured ice ages and plagues, famine and war—all in the hopes that one day we’d spread their values to Iraqis via dronestrike.
* See if we frame Western values as a particular historical heritage, people might develop PRIDE in that heritage, which is borderline racism.
* Every nation on earth is a larval Western nation, anxiously awaiting the day it with metamorphose into the next USA:
* Trump’s foreign policy is a mess. Prioritize American interests AND quit serially regime-changing Muslim countries overseas? Incoherent!
* All my friends and contacts who are involved professionally in the foreign policy status quo agree Trump’s speech today was a total bust.
* Fingers crossed for Fiorina as VP pick! She’ll fill in key gaps on the Cruz ticket, like private sector experience and a masculine jawline.
