Top 5 Policies Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Agree On
3. Intervening in Syria
While the rhetoric differs here, the end result is essentially the same. Both candidates want America to join in another international conflict. Clinton, ironically, often comes off as the bigger hawk of the race. Her history as Secretary of State is a good measure for how she would perform as Commander in Chief. By judging her rhetoric and her actions, Americans can expect some form of intervention to unseat Assad in Syria.
Trump certainly has been more gung-ho in this matter. It is true, Trump is less likely to commit us to an all-out war (surprising at that may seem). He did, to his credit, oppose the Iraq invasion before it was cool (though after initially supporting it). When it comes to Syria, however, he seems all-too-willing to abandon that good sense and plunge boots on the ground.
