From Jonathan Bernstein at Bloomberg:
Where is the Republican pushback to Hillary Clinton’s vicious attack on Donald Trump’s foreign-policy qualifications? It’s virtually absent, as several commentators noticed.
On Thursday, Clinton called Trump’s foreign policy nothing but “bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.” Since then, the silence (except from Trump himself, of course) has been startling. When a party’s presidential nominee is attacked, the response is usually rapid, coordinated and sustained. Each party has recognized experts on any issue that it can deploy quickly to assure everyone that its nominee is sound. The party might even have a few people with bipartisan credentials who are willing to say that they’ve met with the candidate and that the attacks are off base.
Didn’t happen this time.
