Kasich, Rubio, Eisenhower, Reagan: None of those were or are fine with over 100,000 dead Americans by presidential policy. Remember Benghazi? Republicans were incensed over FOUR dead Americans. They had to have endless investigations of Hillary, and their murder was not even her policy.
So I think Trump is in a unique class now. Or maybe he's going to end up with Stalin and other mass murderers in the history books. (I doubt Stalin ever shot anybody: It was his policies that killed them.)
It didn't have to be this way.
