2016 Postmortem

(90,633 posts)56. Add to that a yawning gulf in BS's (lack of) applied experience in foreign policy.
A person who wants to be President or SoS really has to know what diplomacy is, and how to negotiate with even people they find despicable. The GOP candidates want to bomb the ME until the sands glow; and BS wants to throw enemies together on the one hand and rush to hold hands and sing Kumbayah with countries he knows very very little about on the other hand.
Soooo strange that a Secretary of State would find things to talk about with a former Secretary of State. Almost as strange as one former POTUS finding things to talk about with another former POTUS. The fact that they are members of what has been called the world's smallest club with experiences the rest of us can't even fathom -- well that's just beside the point, isn't it?
Oy.

Since she is responsible for renewing America's good image, I'd say 'maybe'.

I should post a pix of Jimmy Carter and Kissinger so you can trash him too.
