Just today I saw a letter to the editor in which someone was saying "No war for oil."
I don't think this war is about oil. But Trump's statement plays right into that talking point.
The voters at the pump may disagree with his enthusiasm for higher prices. Gas has gone up about $.80 here on the northside of Indianapolis in a week. That’s not a good optics for November success. People might agree in principle with what we’re doing in Iran, but what they care about is what’s in their pocketbooks and wallets.
Spot on Mr. President!
This is a great boost to the economies of Texas and other major oil producing states.
As Rush Limbaugh used to say: “Keep your eye on the price of gas - when gas goes up, everything else goes up too!”
I believe most people vote with their wallets, and with gas going up, food, which is already sky high, will follow and that will determine, IMO, a lot of people’s votes going into the midterm elections.
