I wrote about Marco Rubio’s supposed foreign policy-driven “comeback” for Politico Magazine. Here is an excerpt:

Rubio’s bigger problem, though, is that few Republicans want to hear what he has to say. Like almost all other Americans, GOP voters have little interest in these issues right now, and there is not nearly as much enthusiasm for an activist foreign policy on the right as there was just a few years ago. According to a December Pew survey, 52 percent of Republicans said that the United States is doing “too much” to address global problems, while just 18 percent believe America is not doing enough. Rubio’s hawkish rhetoric is likely to appeal only to the small minority of Republicans who think the United States is being too passive and uninvolved, and it will leave everyone else cold.
