If you look at the world through the prism of truth and attempt to articulate a defense of the foreign policy vision of Hillary Clinton, only a disjointed, demented, or tragically misinformed individual could convince themselves that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s vision was ad rem to America’s best interests.
With multiple attacks carried out in different fashion but in the name of the same incompatible theology happening more regularly over the end of the Obama presidency, the world stage has been effectively “reset” by the radical shift in philosophy of its strongest superpower. The federal government has at every turn increased the numbers of foreigners from predominantly Muslim countries, as evidenced by Barack Obama’s commitment to take 10,000 refugees last year as well last December’s 1.1 trillion dollar Omnibus that included a provision granting 300,000 work visas from countries from the most unstable region in the world.
The combination of the terror risk and the further compromise of the US job market for legal citizens has ultimately continued the “Fundamental Transformation” of the country to an apologetic, politically correct, indebted disaster that may have to deal with another 4 years of this committed global vision’s disastrous effects.
The left has also promoted the idea of accelerating the mass Muslim resettlement with Democrat House members David Cicilline, D-RI, and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., publicly calling for upwards of 200,000 more refugees to be accepted by the United States. This has all occurred despite warnings from FBI Director James Comey, confirming the intelligence community’s belief that it would be impossible to determine whether or not that many refugees would pose a threat to our safety with 100 percent certainty.
Clinton's opponent, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, explained when addressing a group of families affected by crimes committed by illegal aliens that, “Hillary Clinton is the first person to run for presidency of a country effectively proposing to abolish the borders around the country that she’s supposed to be representing.”
The increasing cost to the American taxpayer while providing them with less in terms of safety and opportunity should be played up as a more significant theme this election. By painting Clinton as a puppet for Wall Street and globalist special interests, and barnstorming swing states with high profile joint appearances featuring down-ticket candidates involved in important congressional and senate races alongside the media magnet Donald Trump, the party can ride this important shift in the polls towards a successful Election Day this November for the GOP as a whole. This combination of resources between the experienced state campaigns could potentially put the understaffed presidential nominee at an acceptable level to fight the well organized and united Democrats while Trump’s presence would provide for more local media coverage going to Republicans struggling in the tougher races.
Ultimately this may be the best chance as the GOP’s prospects center around consistency of their message, and with a little more than a month and a half left in the race, the most efficient way to do that for a national campaign losing in total dollars is co-branding.
The appearance of unity in a splintered party that is still reeling from a primary that has created many internal rifts may go far in convincing independent and undecided voters that the necessary change can be delivered starting in January and only by the Republicans.
Just like the decision to put Mike Pence on the ticket will be used as an effective way to court more conservative voters into voting for a presidential candidate seen by many to have progressive views on some issues, Trump's presence can also help to ensure that conservative candidates being targeted in important races, like Rep. Scott Garrett, R-NJ, and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-PA, have the turnout needed amongst the party base to win in those hotly contested races.
Our safety, the stability of a world in need of its greatest superpower to once again lead, and the economic survival of the average American are all on the ballot this November. Also on the ballot for the third consecutive national election are the policies of our 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama. Choose wisely.
