Both Clinton and Trump went through entertaining contortions to seem like they were against the Iraq invasion. Clinton claimed “she voted for leverage, not war”, while Trump said his real position wasn’t the pro-war one he said in public on tape, but was a secret private anti-war position he shared only with Bill O’Reilly. I think they were equally plausible stories (as in: not remotely), but I think a lot of Trump voters actually bought his line and thought he wouldn’t fight pointless wars.
