Regarding this open letter on security.... From the NY Times...
FIFTY of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”
Mr. Trump, the officials warn, “would be the most reckless president in American history.”
It says he has “demonstrated repeatedly that he has little understanding” of the nation’s “vital national interests, its complex diplomatic challenges, its indispensable alliances and the democratic values” on which American policy should be based. And it laments that “Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself.”
Trump's response? He blames them for terrorism. "They're the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place.”
------
Ok, help me out here. FOX 'news' was riling everyone up about those Harvard kids answering a gotcha question, right? Remember, the one about "who is a bigger threat to global security, the US or ISIS?" Remember that?
Trump literally just said that this group of American foreign policy and national security experts deserve the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. Where is the outrage from the right-wing media? Trump tweets every couple days something about the dishonest media being biased against him, but they're clearly giving him a huge pass on this.
The people against Trump now includes a full 50 security experts that just went against their own party – risking their careers, finances, and chances of ever holding a position of power again – in order to speak out against Trump. There is no other Republican candidate, these people aren't angling for a better job, they're not trying to get a preferred candidate elected.
They're speaking out of concern for their country and global security. Trump says they're responsible for terrorism.

- I think its safe to say its ok for Republicans to be against Trump. The momentum has already started and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.sofakingback
- He's gonna lose and like all spineless cowards, they're gonna make sure people don't remember hem as Trump supporters, even though they didn't oppose him.sofakingback
- What the hell happened to this world? The leaders we were supposed to admire and aspire to emulate have turned into the worst humanity has to offer.sofakingback
- Shit, comedians have more spine and conviction than these guys. Im interested in the effect this will have on our youth. "I want to be president" said no childsofakingback
- I would argue that a huge number of kids wants to be president thanks to Obama, though. Things aren't quite as bad as you say.********
- sofa, corruption is good for prosperity. We cant have a candidate who is unpredictable in threatening money for legislation. corruption is good remember thatyurimon

- #ignoreyurimon********
- If they all desperately don't want him as president then I think that's probably a good enough sign that he should be president.********
- Ultimately how fucking dare they? Democracy, mother fuckers.********
- Interesting that trump says they're responsible for terrorism. Couldn't be more true, just rather surprising coming from him.********
- set, when globalist say someone is bad, we should believe them. they are infallible.yurimon
- #ignoreyurimon********
- @set Are you serious? Do you think these security experts have some conspiracy to make the world less safe? Why would they do that?********
- lol @ set and yurimon... regardless of who is guilty (the neocons) this is about an ill-equipped potentially taking the most powerful position in the world...fadein11
- ill equipped lunatic. Set are you serious? or being a mild troll?fadein11
- nb is right, the title alone "Security Expert" should remove any doubt that these people are infallible.yurimon

- Call yurimon a troll all you like, haha, he still makes a strong point that you all ignore over and over.********
- "Anyone who doesn't agree with the opinion that the media has given me must be a troll" /comedy muppet voice********
- I haven't ignored his point at all - have listened to it about a 100 times now. And I agree Hillary is also potentially a disaster but not so much a disaster asfadein11
- small hands. Trump's behaviour / intellect / track record up until now gives me zero faith in him. It's comical that he is even running. But I know you lovefadein11
- being devils advocate (I hope) - or do you think Trump will make a good president Set? Genuinely interested in your thoughts.fadein11
- I think trump will rattle the current system in terms of miss use, inefficiencies. you will hear, "why are spending money for this?"yurimon
- "We spent this much money and look at the results". He will be the flashlight on the roaches that are financially dug into the industrial complex.yurimon
- he is not indoctrinated into the system like a career politicians so they are nervous if he will play ball in preserving how money flows in DC.yurimon
- if he sux it wont be any different then what we have now. he is more of a democrat then we think. because everyone is looking with media prejudgementyurimon
- except he'll never hold officemonospaced
- industrial complex = industrial military complex yuri - at least get it right - and looks like Trump has plenty of ideas of how to start more wars.fadein11
- Typical halfwit 'debate' tactics. Pointing out meaningless semantics to shout 'You're wrong!' like a child, rather than focusing on the points made.********
- I don't understand why you think rattling the system is a good thing in his case. mind you, i said his case. Because I do think an individual like him would...sofakingback
- mess with the current system. Absolutely not in the way people are saying though. He would use his influence to move money towards his benefit and the people...sofakingback
- That support him. Thats the only rattling he would do. Nothing in his entires life work has suggested he would do anything differently than that.sofakingback
- Look at his primary: Majority of his money was spent on his business' That means major tax write offs for him and all profit.sofakingback
- You guys have never had a president like this so the concept is new to you, but mexico has had guys like this for president since the beginning. Mexico had a...sofakingback
- President sell have the country for his profit!!!! Do you understand what guys like that can do to a country? and I know deep down inside you're thinking: he...sofakingback
