Reply #5: Democrats do have the better record on security

[Adelante]

And also the saner foreign policy. Diplomacy first, second, third and until it turns unproductive; multilateralist humanitarian intervention, when necessary; war as an extreme last resort, when all else fails, and not preemptively.

Democrats have not made the case to the country and so we keep on losing elections.

Voters in every poll, including exit polls last November, make it clear they trust the Democrats on the economy and other domestice issues. We already have them there.

They don't vote for us because they do not trust us to defend the country.

So what do we talk about? Domestic issues. :crazy:

This is not to say we shouldn't. We should talk about all of it. We should give foreign policy the same respect in the Dem message as we do domestic policy. Until we do this, until we have a comprehensive, full service agenda, we will not capture anymore voters than we already have and we will lose, lose, lose.
