Stevenson’s army, October 13

Trump rules the GOP.

– Biden is losing Democrats:2

Jonathan Last watched a focus group of “nine Democratic voters in Pennsylvania who ran the gamut—from Bernie-stans to a lady who had voted for Trump in 2016.”

“Every single one of them thought Biden was doing a bad job. But that’s not the bad news.”

“Every single one of them thought things were crappy in America right now. Still not the bad news.”

“Not one of them liked Biden personally. They all viewed him as a normal, lying politician.”

“Now we’re there. Here’s the really bad news: None of them believed that Republicans were to blame for the administration’s failures.”

China’s ahead on cybersecurity.

Hypersonic weapons cost too much, DOD says.

Since I’ve often found fault with Sen. Cotton [R-AK], I want to share this news of his good work.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
