If Democrats keep worrying about "America's standing in the world" they're gonna get knocked on their asses this fall.
The majority of Americans don't give a rat's ass about our "standing in the world." In fact, the whole idea of worrying about our perception feels, at once, insecure and egotistical.
I'm not saying how we are perceived doesn't matter. I believe it does. A lot. But the people who run the campaigns for Obama and Clinton need to remind the constituents WHY it matters.
We need friends in this world because it keeps us safer. It makes tracking down "evil-doers" less daunting. And less expensive!
But until Democrats connect those dots, to the average Joe it just sounds like they're worrying about the wrong things.
At least, that's how I see it today. Tomorrow, who knows?
