Bring on the Vultures

When candidates speak in front of people that are likely to cast their vote for the candidate, there are usually sweeping generalities. For example, Trump, Clinton, Cruz, Sanders, and Kasich have each said something similar to the following because this "we're going to change the world" mentality crosses party lines. Statements like, "We're going to fix A and fix B and the people that get away with C, they will no longer be able to do it!" where A, B, and C are the hot-button issues for the candidate.

As the election gets closer, though, then the sweeping generalities become more specific and, as a result, the criticism sharpens. For example, instead of saying "America is going to gain respect in the world," Donald Trump has now laid out, specifically, from which countries he wants respect to be gained. Read what he said in a speech about foreign policy here.
