Four Foreign Policies

If you are a regular COTTonLINE reader, you very probably have a more-than-passing interest in foreign policy. Writing for The Washington Post, Dr. Charles Krauthammer describes for you the likely foreign policies of the two leading Republicans (Trump, Cruz) and two leading Democrats (Clinton, Sanders).

Dr. K compares Sanders to George McGovern, Clinton to her husband, Cruz to Reagan, and Trump to King Philip II of Spain (1556-1598). BTW, Spain was mercantilist, the goal of its foreign policy was gaining riches.

If you want a fuller description, he's written a good column. I find little to argue with therein.
