I'm finding that Hillary isn't quite as bad as I thought, and Trump is worse than I thought.  I initially assumed Trump would at least project a strong international presence, but without the idiocy of committing us to expensive wars. However, I don't think he has the mental faculties to handle the diplomacy and strategy that it requires. He is at least right that Putin is a strong leader, but Trump isn't anywhere near smart enough - or quiet enough - to similar to that. Putin knows how to wait and make a power play after he has prepared properly; Trump will jump right in with nothing to back him up - basically bluffing his way in, with the hope that he can collect his power quickly if anyone calls his bluff. Putin could run circles around Trump. Putin could pull fast ones over Hillary too, don't get me wrong, but at least Hillary won't throw herself into those situations. Also, Trump's rampant and persistent lying is a big no-no for me,
