Draft Dem Convention Platform Nuke points:

Democrats believe that the sole purpose of our nuclear arsenal should be to deter—and, if necessary, retaliate against—a nuclear attack, and we will work to put that belief into practice, in
consultation with our allies and military. We will work to maintain a strong, credible deterrent while reducing our overreliance and excessive expenditure on nuclear weapons. The Trump Administration’s proposal to build new nuclear weapons is unnecessary, wasteful, and indefensible.

In a move that smacks of callow desperation, the Trump Administration reportedly discussed testing a nuclear weapon to scare China to the negotiating table. This is criminal stupidity bordering on malevolence.
washingtonpost.com/national-secur… THE US DOES NOT NEED TO TEST NUCLEAR WEAPONS. It's in our interest that no other country does either. If we go down this road, it would likely set off a cascade of nuclear tests around the world landing us right back in an arms race we were lucky to survive the first time.

While not nuclear policy-related, I can confirm this is accurate. #MadamSecretary
