As a Democrat, it is profoundly disturbing to me that many in my party have widely condemned what appears to be, at least initially, a successful, coordinated effort to promote fundamental and lasting change in Iran.
It falls to me, a Democrat who has supported my party and its candidates for many years, to state what is obvious: the Trump administration and our military deserve strong support for leading a coordinated strike with Israel that has already led to the death of Iran’s supreme leader and multiple senior Iranian officials and continues to degrade Tehran’s nuclear and conventional weapons programs.
This action also offers the potential for long-overdue regime change, where large percentages of the Iranian population have long supported removing the current illegitimate regime — one of the rationales the president offered for striking Tehran and other Iranian cities at this time.
Very sadly, many in my party seem more interested in regime change in Jerusalem than they are in regime change in Teheran and the possibility of lasting political change.
Given that Iran is arguably the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism and repeatedly refused to voluntarily dismantle its nuclear program through peaceful means, the threat to U.S. and allied national security is real and imminent, requiring decisive action by the U.S. and Israeli governments.
I fervently hope my party will now focus in a bipartisan way on supporting our efforts in the Middle East, rather than condemning President Trump for not seeking to formally invoke the War Powers Act before launching the coordinated strike on Iran with Israel.
I doubt this will happen.
But as someone who remains committed to the Democratic Party and its traditional ideals, I believe it is critically important to acknowledge the courageous role President Trump played in these events...

Yep your party is nothing but a Contrary bunch of children
He’s off Pelosi’s ice cream list.
Time for this guy to change party affiliation. The dems will crucify him for daring to tell the truth.
Then a shot rang out.
He yelled in pain.
Dropped to the floor.
Screaming people call 911.
So much for Dems’ “democracy.”
Or.....
“This ice cream tastes funny. Usually vanilla is sweet.” 🍦
Suddenly clutches his stomach and foam surges up into his mouth and he slumps to the floor.
Traditional ideals. Give me a break. Reminds me of that Groucho Marx line, "I have my principles. And if you don't like those. I have another set".
Most of them should be committed. Closing most of the mental hospitals around the country gave the Dems a real break. 🏥🚑🚓🚓
Ha. Good one.
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. 🥸

I remember seeing a lot of him years ago, when I used to watch Fox News on a regular basis. Mr. Schoen has always appeared to be a reasonable gentleman. His manner is more pro-America, like the Democrat Party was a few generations ago. Maybe up to the Clinton Era.
Yet, just like retired Senator Joe Manchin, Doug Schoen has not changed his party.
Maybe Doug has changed from within, in order to fit with his Party. A remaining a part of a political party can be very similar to remaining a part of a particular religious faith.
Your party is a terrorist organization engaged in a color revolution against the U.S., Doug.
We need more Grouchos, Will Rogerses and Mark
Twains.
One Tesla getting egged - coming up!
Trump’s trade policy is similar to Sen. Richard Gebhard’s. The Democratic Party has changed.
I’d say it’s a Contemptible bunch of Commies, but that’s just me.
We have Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. Should we complain?
Yes.
“Democratic Party and its traditional ideals”
Those would be sodomy and abortion?
Lol.
Did Rosie fly past my window?
One of the last of the sane Democrats. Almost a museum piece. He is on Fox sometimes.
I’m sorry Doug, but the Democratic Party no longer supports its traditional ideals. It’s now the party of the crazies and muslims.
