Gov. Sam Brownback thinks the United States needs to get more aggressive against ISIS, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. “You go in and try to disrupt the headquarters, disrupt the communications and the financial flow of resources,” he said. Brownback also thinks that Donald Trump would be more aggressive than Hillary Clinton in combating terrorism. However, some of Trump’s ideas may not be practical or legal. Trump supports waterboarding detainees and targeting the families of terrorists. He has also called for blocking Muslims from entering the United States, a proposal that Brownback previously criticized as unconstitutional. – Phillip Brownlee
