This is ALL about the mid term elections.
The Republicans are on the run.
They should be standing unified ad fighting the battle here at home.
JUst let our own proxy Israel finish the job, give them what they need.We can posture and say we disagree for the peanut gallery.
The Republicans are “on the run” because the stupid war with Iran is polling very badly among key constituent groups who will determine the outcome of the midterm elections.
Vance and younger republicans have read the polls. Support for Israel essentially ends with the baby boomers. Giving money to Israel is very very unpopular with the younger generations and if the GOP wants to continue winning elections they have to contend with this.
Trump brought Kushner back into the White House when he should have been relegated to Mar Lago. The Abraham Accords were a good thing, but the lynch pin was Saudi and the fly in the ointment was Qatar. Neither issue was resolved before Trump left office. Go back and review what was said on this site about the Kushner’s and the problems the two NYC liberals caused Trump in his first term. To make matters worse Trump brought in Witkoff who has been made his top negotiator with no International diplomatic experience whatsoever. Witkoff went to Ukraine, no deal, Witkoff went to Gaza, on screwed up deal nobody follows, Witkoff is now the lead negotiator with Iran and we get a POS MOU. Iran is playing Vance, Witkoff and Kushner.
Trump has allowed Thune to stab him in the back repeatedly. Thune hates Trump and MAGA. Thune needs to go, but Trump supported him. If Thune remains the leader in the next Congress MAGA is screwed. It seemed a safe bet the GOP would lose the House but keep the Senate. The odds of that have dropped because Thune, Tillis, McConnell and Murkowski have pissed off conservatives who are not going to the polls. Snow votes against conservatives because she would never be reelected if she didn't. The rest just hate Trump and MAGA.
Before, the Iran debacle, Vance was already attacking Israel and American Jews who supported Israel. Not a smart move, especially after 7 Oct. Keep in mind proportionally, 7 Oct was the equivalent of 9-11. Vance called a prominent GOP female influencer in a Purple State a “scumbag.” This is a pattern with Vance, you disagree with him you are a scumbag, warmonger, or Israel First implying his critics are not true Americans. Not very Presidential. In the meantime Rubio looks like the adult in the room. Vance has lost a lot of Jewish support and reportedly is losing conservative Jewish big money donors. His response is to turn to TPUSA and the groypers for support. That is what is dividing the GOP and MAGA. Just like Thune, Vance is pushing conservatives to stay home in November. The Iran deal, lower gas and Wall Street surge is not going to offset any of this. Witkoff, Vance, Kushner and Thune will define Trumps second term if he does not get control of the situation. Frankly, Trump, calling people who do not like his Iran deal “uneducated “ was not smart. Especially name calling Senators who will have to vote to release funds and approve his treaty with Iran.
Send Witkoff and Kushner to the Ukraine, they can't make it any worse. Put Vance back in USA in charge of fraud. Get him a personality coach. Send Rubio and hardliner experienced Middle East negotiators to work on the Iran deal. Get off social media Trump's posts on Iran especially are aging like milk. Build a get the vote out initiative ready to hit the road after Labor Day when voters reengage. Go to Israel and mend fences Vance has torn down. You all think Bibi is on his way out, he may be, but at least two of the Likud replacements for him are as hardline or more hardline than Netanyahu.
Now you all can call me names which some of you will. You don't have to agree with me. But name calling is the refuge of fools.
