Is there any candidate from both parties that foreign policy that scares you or haves you very, very uncomfortable?

Basically those, along with most of the establishment backed Republicans, and the "moderate" Democrats.

I'd be uncomfortable with Rand Paul's foreign policy, scared by Ron Paul's foreign policy (since they're two different people logic indicates they must have two different foreign policies) and downright terrified of Peter King's foreign policy (apparently terrorists are OK if they are from Europe?)

Of those likely running, and having a fair chance at winning their party's nomination? 

Rand Paul.

Basically any "progressive." As we've seen the past five years, "progressives" can cloak the imperialism of their "opponents" in Nobel Peace prizes and "cultured" affectations (e.g., Pahh-kee-stahhn).  In other words, "progressives" can get away with more peace droning and humanitarian occupations that "tough" "hawkish" types.

The potential foreign policy of both Chris Christie and Joe Biden would leave me very uncomfortable. They both seem to have a tendency to make brash judgement calls that could put America in grave danger, should either of them become President.

I would also be very worried about foreign policy issues if Paul Ryan is elected President, because I fear that he would not care about them at all and attempt to ignore them. He seems like he would keep putting off his final decisions in this realm of policy until America's hand was forced.

Anyone but Paul, and maybe Sanders. I have a feeling that, if it weren't for the times we are in, Sanders would be an internationalist.

I'd say Peter King's is the worst out of all the possible candidates' foreign policies.

A King presidency would probably drive me out of the country.  Not that it would matter knowing him, of course...

Everyone except Rand Paul, I don't know enough about Sanders' foreign policy, but he seems like he'd be anti-war.


You realize that Paul and Cruz are polar opposites on foreign policy.
