80% of International Relations Scholars Prefer Hillary Clinton Over Bernie Sanders

Snap Poll: Who Will Make the Best Foreign Policy President?

From climate change to the Islamic State, from Russia to China, we asked scholars who they want tackling America's biggest problems.

<...>

We asked IR experts to select one Democratic and one Republican party presidential candidate who would most effectively manage the foreign policy issues confronting the United States today.

Between the two remaining democratic candidates, the vast majority of IR scholars in our sample — 80 percent — indicated that Hillary Clinton would most effectively manage foreign policy as president. (Bernie Sanders received the remaining 20 percent of responses.)

First of all scholars use a methodology a snap poll is not a methodology
Secondly look at their list of authors f.e. en. Bob Corker, R- Tennessee
18 April 2013 "Off to a Bad Start" (co-authored with Sen. Jim Inhofe)

Gen. David Petraeus, U.S. Army (Retired); Former Head of the CIA
29 October 2013 "How we Won in Iraq"

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma
18 April 2013 "Off to a Bad Start" (co-authored with Sen. Bob Corker)

Sen. Rand Paul, R- Kentucky
15 October 2013 "Peace Through Strength: How no-nonsense negotiations can prevent a war with Iran"

19 November 2013 "Still Unprotected"

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona
26 April 2013 "How to Save the Republican Party"

30 October 2013 "The Anti-Surge"

And the list including Ted Cruz goes on. Journals for scholarship

So asking International Relations/Foreign Policy experts about this is a bit misleading and it needs to be clarified for what it is a magazine.

The Koch Bros are now backing Rubio. Also, Bill Kristol, Kagan, Bush's architects of war. Big money to be made through a puppet Rubio.
