The short version of the GOP message for 2016 is simple and direct: We’ve tried the Obama approach to counter-terrorism and it isn’t keeping you safe.

The threat of al-Qaeda has been replaced with the greater, more varied, more sophisticated threat of ISIS. The threat grew worse in part because the Obama administration didn’t want to see the threat, didn’t want to acknowledge the threat was growing, didn’t want to admit its policies weren’t working, and didn’t want to break its politically correct worldview.
