Scott Jennings: Trump ‘Speaks of Peace Before He Speaks of War’

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "I do think what is remarkable is that, I mean, you‘ve alluded to it, he has remade the Republican Party‘s orthodoxy on several issues. I mean, it‘s no small thing. And I think whether it‘s on trade, whether it‘s on this, issues of war and peace, it‘s not just the policy, it‘s also the language. I mean, the party, to your point, had been a hawkish party. We spoke hawkishly. We acted hawkishly at times, Trump speaks of peace before he speaks of war. Not that he‘s averse to lighting up our enemies when it matters. Ask the Houthi rebels. But he has reset the language of the Republican Party in a way that, you‘re right, it‘s not the same language as bush, it‘s not the same language of Reagan. And I do think he cares what‘s in the best interest of the United States. I think the political reset that occurred is, is that all the intervention, all the war and the intervention that happened around the world, a lot of American people, Republican and Democrat, came to the conclusion that it wasn‘t worth it.”
