34. Our foriegn policy is a critical issue for me

I don't think Bernie or Hillary is going to end war. Bernie has already said he would continue to use drones and support countries at war with military and financial aid. Hillary is going to continue the Obama policy.
So who is the anti war candidate? We don't have one.
