Rank these candadites from most to least likely to get American young people killed fighting

a middle east despot to protect another middle east despot.

Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Donald trump

My answers

Most: Clinton (Neo-con tier foreign policy)
Middle: Trump (Isolationist)
Least: Bernie (True peace maker)

You can disagree with me, but that is my view and it is an issue close to my heart. No more American blood should ever be spilled protecting tyrants.

Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Joe Biden, and Paul Ryan are all arguably closer to the White House than Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump.

Ted Cruz is the closest living thing to Frank Underwood and he will scheme to steal the nomination, and then the election.

Biden and Kasich are the logical go-to candidates in the event of contested conventions--and a contested convention is possible on both sides.

One powerful third-party candidate can hand the Presidency to Paul Ryan without a single vote by anyone (no majority of electoral votes sends the election to Congress; the Speaker has the most control over when the Congressional vote is held, if ever; no vote on a President hands the election to the Speaker through continuity-of-government laws; behold President Ryan with no vote).

And now that I've effed up your thread I will leave without offering an opinion except to say that we're not at peace and not going to be, so American kids are sure to die no matter what.
