says our troops don't need to be over in the middle east. So did .

Both are wrong. 's military advisers says we still have not beaten ISIS.

If and drop out I'll finally be able to properly pronouce everybody's names lol

I agree with that we need to end endless wars. But the war isn't over, so we don't keel over just to end the war. We continue to fight so that we win.

Using "economic tools" and "diplomatic tools" won't be as efficient nor reliable as military action.

I'm surprised how much I'm agreeing with in this debate...glad he is being more centrist.

why can't we bomb terrorism out of Afghanistan? Bombs do an exceptional job at killing terrorists...

Hey hey hey promised to bring troops home and he actually did it, didn't he? I should probably fact check this...

but if we don't use tariffs how else can we pressure foreign nations on trade?

Yep I agree with China's stealing of American patents is a big deal. But it's not just China. For instance, Supreme India makes counterfeit Supreme New York products.

Tweets are not trade policy, but the method by which it is communicated.

Tweet as policy: I'll just tweet something and that will fix things.

when did 's tweets undermine international diplomacy? There's a reason she's not giving examples...

's plan of forcing foreign businesses to raise their standards is an interesting policy. It could force Chinese companies to actually cut down emissions. That's a good thing.

: giant corporations leave America when it's cheaper to operate in foreign lands.

Which is why many of them have come back since got elected!

@isolategab @masterofthetiger@theres.life @mazuba So...we shouldn't try to convince racists to not be racist?

Interesting they chose Reddit. What about the 4chan users who get banned and go to 8chan? And then get banned from 8chan and go to 16chan? These findings do not apply to all platforms.
