The NSA, Narcissism & Nationalism

2. I can't help but laugh at your post.

Largely, it's true that voters don't get excited about foreign policy- except when they do. Foreign policy helped Obama beat Clinton in 2008, for instance.

But beyond that and far more significant than that is simply that foreign policy is important and encompasses everything from trade policy to defense spending. You seem to be suggesting that talking about foreign policy is pointless because it doesn't play into electoral politics (I pointed out that there are significant exceptions to that overly broad claim of yours).

that strikes me as stunningly shortsighted and sadly shallow.
