Marco Rubio and Chris Christie have a simple, terrifying message for 2016 voters: vote for me or there’s a fairly good chance you’ll die. They don’t phrase it that way, but it’s the unmistakable message they convey when they talk about national security. Rubio goes around telling people that “Nothing Matters If We Aren’t Safe,” describing this new slogan of his as “the fundamental problem in America.” Christie, meanwhile, went to New Hampshire this week and told voters that the “first obligation of the American government” is to “protect the lives of the American people,” and while some people may whine that their civil liberties are being curtailed in the process, “you can’t enjoy your civil liberties if you’re in a coffin.”
