Clinton allies see Trump’s unorthodox foreign policy pronouncements as a prime opportunity to pick up Republicans unable to stomach Trump. Many of the Democrats who signed on to the letter have separately endorsed Clinton, as has at least one of the Republican signatories, foreign policy expert Kori Schake. That is why we find Trump’s cavalier denigration of NATO so worrying and so objectionable. The letter does not endorse Clinton or mention her apart from the email issue. America needs a president who will strengthen our alliances, not denigrate and destroy them.”
