Forbes:
Distrusted by most Americans and generating little enthusiasm even among supporters, Hillary Clinton has fallen behind Donald Trump in the polls. Her antidote? A brutal attack on Trump for what she terms his rants, feuds, and lies.
It’s an ironic tactic for someone whose dubious behavior stretches back decades to personal enrichment via cattle trades and obstruction of justice with subpoenaed evidence staging a mysterious disappearance. She’s no softie in the political wars, once attacking her opponents for imagined conspiracies. And she has offered her own tall tales, such as landing under sniper fire in Bosnia.
Nevertheless, Clinton’s biggest problem is her foreign policy record. Most Americans don’t want to intervene more overseas, but Clinton is not most Americans. She is the Democratic neoconservative, a veritable goddess of war, who backed every major conflict fought by the U.S. over the last quarter century. If someone’s views on America’s international role should not be taken seriously, it is Hillary Clinton. She routinely advocated sacrificing U.S. wealth and lives in conflicts of choice which actually harmed American security. Her needless foreign adventures inevitably turned out badly, creating new crises and consequent demands for more U.S. intervention and war.

A truly unique election cycle.
