If Hillary Clinton moves into the Oval Office next year, she may push the pendulum back toward a more aggressive, engaged foreign policy. She understands the risks, but compared to Obama, she maybe has more confidence in the capacity of the United States to act in a way that will do good.

Instead of helping the pendulum swing back, it seems, a Trump administration might push it in a whole new direction.
