      I'm not saying this is *the* defining issue of our time, but ask yourself: Would anyone else have actually kept this promise? Cruz and Rubio *might* have done it--but would they have stuck with it when the experts and diplomats warned about the backlash? I'm not so sure.

          Of course, it is entirely possible that the experts are correct and no one else would have done it because it is another case of reckless trolling on a colossal scale.

          This strikes me as Reaganesque. Like when everyone warned him not to say "Tear down this wall," or when people were outraged by calling it an "Evil Empire." A lot of what Trump does is needlessly provocative, but sometimes norms were made to be broken.

          Reagan leavened that, eventually, with good-faith outreach to Gorbachev. Reagan harbored a sincere desire to eliminate the nuclear threat. I am skeptical Trump has a similar compass guiding him in the Middle East, but you never know.

          I’m skeptical of Trump, too. At the same time (not to compare these two very different men), a lot of people thought Reagan was dangerous and crazy when he did what he did.

          I see a potential Reagan/INF treaty-Trump/North Korea parallel: hastily barreling into a peace talks without grasping details but at least having an actual endgame in mind. Jerusalem strikes me as pandering/trolling without any thought put into consequences and next steps.

          Long term consequences are not factored into Trumps decisions. Reagan was better than that.

          simple answer : Only Trump! no one else would done it. Trump is one of the most successful president in America in less than 18 months in office.

          Only cost 26 Palestinian lives and counting and further enraged tensions. Small cost for such a purely symbolic gesture

          Rubio and Cruz may have paused because they knew that the bloodshed on the other side would be substantial. The palestinians to Trump are like illegal immigrants in the US - disposable human beings, taken out by snipers.

          Palestinians & their allies need to understand the world moves on. What they see as negotiable offers or leverage today might be gone tomorrow, as it has been with the deal Arafat turned down, the offers Abbas rejected, or simply the location of the US Embassy.

          The day we cannot give credit because another R might have done the same thing is the day things get super disordered and there is no incentive to keep any promise.

          Very #NeverTrump here, but if he does something right, especially something we cannot be sure other Rs would do even if perhaps they would, we can acknowledge that. To pretend it is wrong because he did it is crazy.

          Rubio would have wavered. It’s his thing. Cruz probably would have done it.

          We moved our embassy from one city in a country to another city when the government of that country wanted it. Not into any arguably occupied areas, unless I missed something. Struggling with why this should create any problems for anyone.
