Both talked about not doing another regime change in the Middle East, so the opposite of Clinton. That was a pretty big deal in quite a few people's minds.
Now obviously that's just campaign talk, but I would go with the smallest glimmer of hope of not killing and displacing another million people in the process.
- s73ver_ 9y agoExcept Trump was known for saying, "Bomb the crap out of em." Not to mention, there's the current situation he's in with N. Korea.
- dragonwriter 9y agoYes, Trump was shifting and incoherent on a lot of policy issues; this led lots of people to decide to believe the position they liked while discounting the others on the same issue. This probably wouldn't work with a candidate that wasn't both a political unknown and running against an opponent with very high negatives where people were (perhaps subconsciously) looking for an excuse to vote elsewhere, but it did work in the situation that actually existed in 2016.
- vim_wannabe 9y agoYes, about ISIS. I do agree the US has no place bombing people but that wasn't about regime change. And what can I say, there's not much to expect from campaign talk, but when there are millions of lives at stake you may not want to go with mrs. "We came, we saw, he died".
