Is there something about Pence's track record that suggests he'd be better for USA on foreign policy?
- allemagne 10y agoI doubt Pence would accidentally put American international agreements, institutions, and treaty organizations into question with weird rambling tweets. I also doubt he'd find any value in antagonizing Mexico over a silly monument to xenophobia. Pence is no foreign policy wiz but I'm not worried about him precipitating huge geopolitical shifts against America's interests.
- azernik 10y agoAs far as I know he's more or less the proverbial generic Republican on foreign policy. Which sounds a lot better to me than Trump's uneducated unpredictability.
- int_19h 10y agoPence is predictable. Diplomats can build plans around predictable. You can make deals, treaties and alliances with predictable. Your opponents know what to expect from you. If nothing else, it at least provides some stability.
