Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump basically share a policy of brute military strength. And both, I think, make a lot of Americans uneasy about our foreign policy going forward, which needs a frank discussion. Likewise on the issue of student debt and the future of our younger generation.

You do not give preferred deals and dole out favors, lucrative favors, and government partnerships and weapons deals to your clients.
