First there was the "maybe, maybe not" answer to whether he'd defend NATO allies is they were invaded by Russia, which sort of undermines the whole point of NATO. Now he's doubled down and said we should "walk away" from NATO. This is such a huge and fundamental policy shift, I can't believe it's not being discussed more.

It's even stranger in light of the Russians hacking the DNC, though I think that has more to do with Putin apparently hating Clinton than any link with Trump.

Also, you have Armitage and Scowcroft endorsing Clinton, as well as Robert Kagan and a number of neocons. (Her hawkishness is why many on the left are skeptical of her.)

Since I posted this, I saw that noted liberal hack and Dem partisan George Will has suggested Trump won't release his tax returns because they would reveal ties to Russian oligarchs. Just when you thought the election couldn't get any weirder....
