Trump is refilling the swamp With Bush-Era ‘Crazies’
Must read piece by Robbie Martin
: In the words of Sarah Palin, Donald Trump would act as a “golden
wrecking ball" to destroy and rebuild what had become a corrupt
Washington establishment.
But a significant part of this “swamp”
consists of defense company-funded think tanks and quasi-intellectual
architects of foreign policy, including a number of Bush-era
neoconservatives who were instrumental in laying the framework for the
Iraq War. Some of these individuals learned to tone down their rhetoric,
like David Frum, Max Boot and Robert Kagan, in the intervening years. #HillaryClinton
