One can't help but wonder how different things would have been if
Hillary was President. With her innate diplomacy skills, I just
cannot imagine her getting us entangled in Afghanistan or any other
wars. Really at this point, while politicians cry over where we'll
get money to provide universal healthcare, it really has to boil down
to who will be the person who will be willing to de-escalate the need
to go to war or remain at war and who will bring that money back
home. Who will downsize the military budgets that hog up over half of
the Federal taxes we pay? Is there such a candidate?
