Now that the Democratic Party establishment has finally put all its cards on the table and declared Hillary Clinton their ‘presumptive’ nominee for President, the public at large is finally coming to grips with the prospect of a Trump vs Clinton election race come November.

(ANTIMEDIA) United States — Irate voters across the U.S. joined in a collective scream of condemnation unceasing since Monday night, after the Associated Press crowned Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee before California even opened polls for today’s primary.

Is there any difference in US foreign policy between the two major parties? Just how important is foreign policy in the minds of American voters come November?
