With the Democrats and Republicans both moving towards isolationism, the Libertarians isolationism won’t mean much. The neo-cons have lost (good news for Putin, China, ISIS and Iran, bad news for Israel, Ukraine, Poland, Philippines and South Korea, among others). Even if Hilary tried to preserve the policies of the Obama era (which she made as Secretary of State, and were not exactly oriented towards a muscular foreign policy) her own party appears closer to the Sanders isolationism and opposition to Defense spending. It will probably take something shocking such as the destruction of a major ally (Israel, Poland, or Korea are the most likely to be sacrificed) to make American want to be strong again.
