Clinton flunks foreign policy

Clinton has been touting her knowledge in foreign affairs after for some reason (wink), she was given the job as secretary of state from the guy who she criticized during the 2008 campaign. She goes around campaigning that Trump doesn’t have the qualifications to be president because he lacks experience in foreign affairs. Yet, if you look back at Clinton’s record as secretary of state, with her failures in Benghazi, the overthrow of Gadhafi in Libya, early withdraw in Iraq, secret Iran nuke deal, weakness in Syria, our strained relations with Israel, all while spinning, what a great job she did.

Baseball players don’t qualify to be in the major leagues because they play baseball. They have to prove to be there. Politicians like Clinton will get up in front of the electorate and promise them everything they want to hear, and then after being elected, they do nothing about it. But hey. We’ve lived with that for almost eight years now.

The American public should be tired of getting kicked around by other countries and the dishonesty of the Democratic Party. The voters need to hear Donald Trump tell Clinton, “You’re fired!”
