[brentspeak]

It should be carved into stone for all Americans to read: You and your family are less safe today (no) thanks to Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.

A former Bush administration official said Wednesday that single-issue Republican voters, who plan to select a candidate based on their foreign policy, should consider likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump is her opponent come November.

"If you care about that bucket of social issues, pro-life, what not, you can't make the leap to Hillary Clinton," Nicolle Wallace, who served as President George W. Bush's communications chief and a senior adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008, told MSNBC in an interview Wednesday morning.

"But if foreign policy is how you vote, if that is your central concern, if counterterrorism is what worries you, how do you not consider Hillary Clinton in November?" she added.

Earlier in the program, Wallace said "the conversations happening in private with Republican consultants is that if you are not a social conservative, there is less and less rationale for hardened opposition to Hillary Clinton."

1. Neocon Warmongering killer of innocents

And American soldiers.

2. The big jump

The moderate Republicans are all being told to dump the rwnj's and support HRC. The takeover of the party is almost done.

3. No republican has any room to talk about less safe

Bush created a huge vacuum in Iraq that he could not fix
and he was the one that said, "Bring it on" and when they did they tell us to "BE AFRAID"

[brentspeak]

5. It was Hillary Clinton's support of regime change in both Syria and Libya

which created the rest of that vacuum.

In the least cynical way I can put it -- do you want me to cite her admiration and imitation of Kissinger for you? -- Hillary Clinton's tenure as SOS has made all Americans less safe.

(And I'm not a Republican).

7. very hard to stop aflood once it starts

still on Bush

[brewens]

4. And there you have it. She would be perfectly acceptable to most of

them if they could get past their hatred of her. Just like with Obama though, the RW doesn't take yes for an answer. She won't be getting republican votes but she should.

10. War votes and Wall Street votes

All in one nice gift wrapped package. Paid for on the backs and blood of the middle class. Sounds like the perfect union to me.

6. Well, God forbid that we have a candidate who would attract Republican votes.

[brentspeak]

9. The irony that a GOP neocon is hyping HRC completely flew over your head

"You're built too low to the ground, son! The fast ones -- I say the fast ones -- go right over your head!"

[DavidDvorkin]

11. Oh, I got your point

I just consider it utterly silly.

[brentspeak]

12. First you say it's a great that HRC should appeal to Repub neocons

Then you say it's a "silly idea".

Which is it?

[DavidDvorkin]

14. Her appealing to Republicans is very good news

Your painting that as a negative is utterly silly.

[brentspeak]

15. Yeah, it's "great" that war-mongerering neocons are touting Hillary as one of their own

Do us a favor, since you admire Hillary's neocon credentials: volunteer yourself or your children for the very first Hillary-initiated ME military adventure.

8. Makes sense: She's their brand of hawk in a PNAC kind of way. k/r

13. Enough said
