Foreign policy tends to be overshadowed by domestic issues before elections, but national security is becoming a dividing line in Washington as Democrats and Republicans accuse one another of politicizing wars in Ukraine and Israel.
"Speaker Mike Johnson is correct that we should be prioritizing spending when we face an economically crippling $33 trillion national debt," he said."There was no 'normal, bipartisan process' when President Ronald Reagan called for supporting anti-communist groups around the world to protect U.S. national security interests, especially in our hemisphere. I can't think of too many instances where foreign policy has not been politicized by Democrats.
"The Trump-Ramaswamy position is reflective of the developing populist consensus amongst Republican voters, while the Haley position is the more traditional GOP view that happens to also be reflective of where most elected GOP members of Congress are," he added."Regardless of which position wins out, we are seeing some serious foreign policy conversation enter the electoral discussion for the first time in a few cycles. It's an intriguing moment for sure.
"These two issues, Ukraine and Israel, are intertwined," he said."History's taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price, dictators don't pay a price, they only cause more chaos, death, and destruction. ... To paraphrase Winston Churchill with a little bit of my Florida upbringing, it's like feeding the alligator hoping that he's going to eat you last."
