Democrats Skip Foreign Policy, National Security at Nevada Debate

Frances Martel 19 Feb 2020

Neither the moderators nor the candidates at Wednesday’s Democrat Party debate took the time to discuss national security or foreign policy issues in-depth, instead spending significant portions of the broadcast discussing former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (D) history of racist and sexist comments.

The two-hour debate, hosted by NBC News, spanned topics ranging from climate change to health care to quality of life in Denmark, but topics such as the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghanistan, China’s attempts to colonize the South China Sea, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela went unmentioned.

China as a country was referenced only in the context of a larger discussion on climate change. Bloomberg falsely claimed that China had improved its record on emissions and that “India is an even bigger problem.” Bloomberg used this allegation to argue that the United States should not seek to cut ties with the repressive communist regime in Beijing because its cooperation will be necessary to fight climate change. Bloomberg has in the past refused to describe China’s totalitarian Communist Party as a dictatorship and has praised its tyrant, Xi Jinping — for allegedly reducing carbon emissions by moving coal plants from cities to less populated areas, where they still emit the same amount of pollution.

Foreign policy?
National security?

Heck, we don' need to talk about that stuff.
What matters is, "get the little guy...!"

Well, they have no comprehension of National Security (from Hillary's Server, to the DNC IT department on the Hill, to "leaks", to the border), and their idea of Foreign Policy seems to be to enrich our enemies (all with the best kickbacks, of course) and stiff our friends.

Why would they want to talk about that? It's understood among the faithful, anyway.
