SEN. RAND PAUL CALLS HILLARY CLINTON A 'WAR HAWK'
No way he'll be the GOP nominee, but anyway she has plenty of practice with hardball against those less hawkish than she.
She ran against O that way in the primaries of 2008.
If RP were the GOP nominee some Republicans would defect to Hillary over Israel and the whole military globalism thing.
Some Democrats would defect to RP, and he would surely get a big piece of the independent vote that otherwise sympathizes with the Democrats.
Pundits from time to time repeat the saw that in the generals nobody cares about foreign policy, but that has been dead wrong since 9/11 caused among voters a huge wave of fear of being killed by terrorists right here in America that has been diminishing over time since then.
Kerry was not hawkish enough to beat GW in 2004 and McCain was too hawkish to beat O in 2008 - not to mention that he was downright incoherent on the market collapse.
Of course, another attack on the scale of 9/11 and Americans will plunge right back into mortal terror.
Remember what happened in Boston?
Well, then.
