A true, battle-scarred patriot against a treacherous draft dodger who fakes his patriotism. There would only be one winner of that contest. This election isn't abour economics or social programmes. It's about whether the US wants to be a Republic founded on the ideals of freedom, democracy and the rule of law, and whether the commander-in-chief represents American interests, or just his own.
