I am not a doomer, but this election is going to live or die by whether the Iran War is successfully concluded within the next several months. If it is still dragging on in the Fall, the Republicans are doomed. Wars are high risk politically. If Trump scores a clear win, the polls will turn around and the Republicans not only will keep the Senate but may keep the House too. Before the War, Trump had a plan and money to spend. Then the war came and it dominated everything. It will continue to dominate everything until it is concluded.

100% agree. I was SO hoping an agreement would be reached when Vance negotiated, unfortunately, no agreement and now Trump will blockade the Strait of Hormuz.

“No Deal! Vance Walks Away From Iran Talks in Pakistan After Tehran Rejects American Requirements for Peace…”

“Blockade of maritime traffic to Iranian ports begins Monday (today)”

Prices are already skyrocketing, gas is $6/gallon in California, high everywhere else as well and food prices will soon follow. As people tend to vote with their wallets during times like this, the Democrats have a good chance of taking the house, senate and POTUS in 2028, and that would be a disaster.

Trump needs to end this fiasco in Iran NOW.

I'm starting to wonder if Trump (or someone behind him) wants the Republicans to lose Congress in the midterms, maybe in some sort of attempt to rid it of the cancer of RINO-ism. Because after all, the Republican Congress has done even less for Americans than his administration; they done nothing to codify the policies in his executive orders into law. They haven't even passed the SAVE America act.

But I'm not sure how doing that would help him or the country in the near term.
