#1 And yet WRM voted twice for Obama.

And will likely vote for Hillary/Warren in 2016.

As smart as he is, he doesn't vote based upon the conclusions of his intellect.

#2 If you are intelligent and observant you would know that "Smart Diplomacy" was a punch line from the moment it was uttered.

Mr. Meade is the last of the old school liberals. He and his ilk will vote for Clinton or Warren; whoever rises to the top of the Democratic tank.

That said, he also suffers from "pointy-headed academic syndrome." All is primarily theoretical. There are expectations that the media will perform its supposed duties, that US foreign policy teams have a semblance of competency, and the Oval Office has a resident that gives a fig about their legacy.

#5 If "smart diplomacy" is the punch line, what is the joke?

No wait, I know the answer and he's hiding under his desk in the oval office.
