In yesterday's Senate hearing on the proposed appointment of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, several Democrat women senators managed to beclown themselves, acting like a coven of harpies. They aren't the image the Democrats want their party to have in the public mind.
As one of Bret Baier's panelists noted last night, in order to win the Dims need to convince some GOP senators to join their cause. The morals approach wasn't the winning card to for them to play. It didn't work against Trump, nor against Hegseth.
Republicans are genuinely split over whether isolationism or a smarter international involvement is the wiser path. Getting Hegseth on the record as siding with either position would have potentially alienated some Republicans, but they didn't try to do this.
Had they tried it, Hegseth's wise answer would have been along the lines of "The President makes foreign policy. My job will be to have our military ready to defend our nation and support with force his foreign policy aims. That will be my focus as SecDef."
