If, I was still a Registered Democrat, I would suggest Senator Mark Kelly would have made a much more competitive campaign in this election. I suspect he'll be a more prominent Dem in the future. That doesn't mean I'd vote for him but, I can see him becoming more popular among the Dems. He's obviously smart, knows and understands the military. supports most of the Dem's agenda and seems very well liked among the Dem general population. But he's got a problem, he's male and white, the last thing the Dem leadership want to promote. Yeah, it's a shame his gender and race will hold him back. ------------------

Cliff, it should be noted that the United States defended Europe in WW I and WW II, before the formation of NATO.

I have no problem with America pressuring NATO members into fulfilling their contractual obligations.

Cliff,
Seriously not trying to offensive here but, I do have a question. I do understand why Europeans would be concerned about President Elect Trump's win but, I have to ask. How should the US approach the issue of other NATO countries not paying the agreed share of the cost of NATO? The US has been paying the bills and defending other countries for far too long and to be frank, we're tired of carrying other countries share of the load.
Interested to learn your suggestions because I'm pretty sure, this subject will come up again during President Elect Trump's administration.

75% of our 2023 Cup team is from Canada. That's the kind of world domination I can get behind
