'Fearlessly exposed himself to enemy fire': The only 2020 Democrat to experience combat finds it counts for little in political arena
BLUF:
[Washington Examiner] He later returned to Iraq for a third tour as a special assistant to Gen. David Petraeus, who later became CIA director, and a fourth as a liaison to tribal leaders in the south of the country. After gaining two more degrees from Harvard University, Moulton in 2014 successfully defeated a nine-term Democratic incumbent congressman, John Tierney, in a primary and entered Congress.

But despite having what one Republican strategist described as "the most perfect resume of all time," Moulton made barely a ripple in the crowded field of presidential hopefuls during his four-month bid. When his campaign ended last month, so too did the possibility that Democrats would nominate an experienced battle leader to be the next commander in chief.

#1  Please look around you. Begin with an examination of the plight of your old boss David Petraeus. The DS has no intention of permitting a military mind to gain traction within the beltway. The power rests elsewhere.

#2  IMO, any kind of tangible achievement is distaceful to "Cognitive Elites".

#3  Political arena? No, it counts for nothing with Democrats. Look how they treated Tulsi Gabbard.

#4  Running in the Anti-American party? Obvious lack of strategic assessment.

#5  Military service is a plus if you're a Republican and a negative if you're a Democrat.

#6  What Raj said.

#7  Wrong party.

#8  White and male... Next candidate please, this one doesn't have the characteristics we want!

#9  Tulsi looked way better than the other non-male gender persons running, so she had to go, Herb.

#10  A Democrat isn't a Democrat until he/she is visibly and vociferously unhinged. He just doesn't get a high enough diversity weirdness score.

#11  Good hybrid VP though.
