The New York Times lashed out at the GOP primary field in an editorial Tuesday morning, highlighting weaknesses in the Republican presidential contenders’ foreign policy platforms.
“For a while, we were concerned that the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination were not saying much about national security and foreign affairs,” the Times wrote. “Now that a few have started, maybe they were better off before.”
The Times accused Republican presidential candidates for displaying “bad analysis and worse solutions, nothing that suggests real understanding or new ideas.”
Primary candidates will debate one another on foreign policy in mid-November, during a televised event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation and CNN.
