Two thoughts.

I saw Trump speak this weekend (TV) on Cuba.
Now, let me state that my view on Cuba is one of admiration for Obie. I have been for lifting the embargo and normalizing relationships since the fall of the USSR.
So... Trump starts by saying how bad and weak Obie is. I don't like hearing this and I disagree. But he never says that he is against the Cuba initiative. He was against Obie not being met at the plane by either of the Castros. He then says he would have got back on the plane and come home if it were he.
I kinda like that attitude.

Next
Israel.
Trump has not backed off the notion that in order to get a deal in the middle east he advocates a neutral position be taken by an arbiter. Hillary by contrast wants to give Isreal unconditional love. Good luck with that if you really want peace.

Score, Trump 2, Obie 0, Hillary 0.

Now I know this will inflame many but honest even if you don't agree with me my view is hardly insane as you think all Trump non condemners are.
The idea of getting in a snit and going home because of failure of the Castros to deliver what one chooses to consider due deference is emotion-based. If one considers dispassionate logic to be the highest form of mental power, it is more toward the insane end of the spectrum.

You gave Trump the points because he punches your buttons.
