The former Minnesota congresswoman attended a fundraiser in the state for Trump on Saturday, where she revealed to the press that she has his ear on
foreign policy.
This really worries me for a lot of reasons. First of all, what people like about Trump is that he is "not a politician", but here we see him taking
foreign policy advice from a bobble-head partisan mouthpiece from the mess we called an election in 2012.
What's worse is he's got her chiming in on more than one area.
Bachmann is already part of Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board, providing “support” to Trump on “issues important to Evangelicals and other
people of faith in America.”

I find these to be a rather poor decision on Trump's part, as a relation to Bachmann could hurt his campaign. Bachmann pandered heavy to a certain
crowd; a crowd that a lot of Trump supporters just aren't. She tended to focus on typical, and really rather benign, hot-topic social issues and her
foreign policy ideals weren't dissimilar of Hillary herself. Also, I find, in contrast the self-funded image that Trump perpetuates, she just smells
like she's on someone's ledger who she wouldn't want you to know about.
Is this really the smartest political affiliation?
