also, a candidate who has never seen, read, or preferably heard of "game of thrones" would be very nice.

And maybe they really should read Game of Thrones, along with The Art of War and The Prince.

No POTUS really wants a war. It is usually painfully or manipulatively forced upon them and they agonize for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, the "War" people like Dick Cheney or John Bolton have never ran for POTUS. Those are the people who have no heart.

All the Democrats running for POTUS are unlikely to start a war. So as far as choosing between them, this issue doesn't help at all.
