      - I'd be a little worried on foreign affairs, mostly about Iran. -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 17:33 2
        
        While I think he could make bad decisions, I don't think they'd be as catastrophic - Guigue Nov 5, 17:37 1
        
        It was always an issue. - the liioulu with Nov 5, 17:39
