While Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrated America's renewed strength and credibility on the global stage at the Munich Security Conference, three Democratic darlings hoping to challenge Trump in 2028 showed exactly why they should never be trusted with America's foreign policy.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom all made appearances at international forums this past week, and the results were nothing short of embarrassing for the Democrat Party. Sources close to foreign diplomats report that AOC's grasp of basic geopolitical realities was so poor that several European officials questioned whether she understood the difference between NATO and NAFTA.

Meanwhile, Rubio was busy restoring America's position as the world's dominant superpower, delivering tough messages to adversaries while reassuring allies that the Trump-Vance administration means business. His commanding presence stood in stark contrast to the amateur hour being displayed by the Democrat bench.

Foreign Policy Amateur Hour

"It's like watching children try to play in the adults' league," one GOP foreign policy expert told reporters. "Rubio understands that America leads from strength, not from the weakness and apology tours we saw during the Biden years."

"These Democrats are so focused on their woke domestic agenda that they have zero understanding of how the real world works," the source continued.

AOC's stumbles were particularly cringe-worthy, with the former bartender reportedly confusing basic facts about Middle East policy and drawing eye-rolls from seasoned diplomats who remember when America had serious people in charge of serious issues.

Whitmer and Newsom didn't fare much better, with both governors appearing out of their depth when discussing international trade and security issues that Rubio handles with ease on a daily basis.

This embarrassing display proves what Patriots have known all along: the Democrat Party has no serious candidates who can match Trump's proven foreign policy success or the competence of his outstanding cabinet picks like Rubio.

Is America ready for four more years of amateur hour foreign policy, or will voters stick with the proven Trump formula that's already making America great again?

Finally someone with actual foreign policy experience stepping up! I've watched Rubio for years and he's always been solid on international relations. Meanwhile these Dem hopefuls can't even get basic diplomacy right.

This is exactly why we need experienced conservatives in leadership positions. The world is watching and we can't afford another four years of weak foreign policy.
