The Leap Of Trump
WSJ, 28 Jan 2016, p.A12

<snip> But history teaches that Presidents try to do what they say they will during a campaign, and Mr. Trump is threatening a trade war with China, Mexico, and Japan, among others. He sometimes says he merely wants to start a negotiation with China that will end happily when it bows to his wishes. China may have other ideas. A bad sign is that Mr. Trump has hired as his campaign policy adviser Stephen Miller, who worked for Jeff Sessions (R, Ala.), the most anti-trade, anti-immigration Senator.

Foreign policy would also be a leap in the dark. Mr. Trump has said he respects former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, and so do we. But Mr. Trump also admires Vladimir Putin - enough so that even after a British judge found last week that Mr. Putin had "probably" ordered the murder in London of a Russian defector, Mr. Trump defended Mr. Putin because he wasn't found guilty.<snip>

<snip> Ted Cruz has his own electoral and governing issues and he isn't the only alternative to Mr. Trump, despite what both men would like Americans to believe. Voters could still elevate one of the other candidates. Republicans should look closely before they leap. <snip>

Thanks for that link, Richard.
It always amuses me when libs try to pick our candidates for us.
