The Republican side is far more crowded and uncertain, and it seems far likelier that foreign policy will play a large role in choosing the party’s nominee. The economy is improving under President Barack Obama, making it a less attractive political target.
而共和党方面更拥挤也更不确定，外交政策似乎更可能在党派提名人选择时起到更大作用。经济状况在奥巴马总统领导下逐渐改善，因此削弱了其作为政治目标的吸引力。相比之下，全球动荡让共和党更有理由攻击民主党和奥巴马总统。
