As Republicans see electoral losses across the country, about 74 percent of voters said the Iran war was a “crucial or major” factor in their vote for Congress, and Democrats won 63 percent of those voters, according to NBC exit polls.
Only 26 percent said the war was a “minor factor or not a factor,” 70 percent of whom voted Republican and 28 percent of whom voted Democrat.
The divide on the war became even greater when voters were asked whether the Trump administration made the “right decision” or “wrong decision” on “military action against Iran. Overall, 37 percent said it was the “right decision,” 91 percent of whom voted Republican and 7 percent of whom voted Democrat, whereas 63 percent said it was the “wrong decision,” 82 percent of whom voted Democrat and 16 percent of whom voted Republican.

Maybe Trump shouldn’t have declared victory a dozen or more times, and should have concentrated on actually winning.
Giving further encouragement to the IRGC to hang in there. The Iranian public is likely discouraged.
Someone sold Trump on war with Iran against his prior inclination to avoid wars in the mid east.
It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t boots on the ground. It was a long operation and had no clear prospects for a quick success. I think they thought it would be like Venezuela and it obviously wasn’t.
I told you all so last summer! No one wants this war with Iran. No one wants high gasoline and groceries prices. I knew last night would be a blood battle.
It will be done in couple of weeks. That was March.

That’s one reason why people didn’t turn out for Republicans.

Israel talks trump into bombing iran and now we have a democratic congress. Thanks israel, and try to enjoy the next few years of democracy control.
Moving the “victory” goalposts all over the field is kinda a clue the administration had lost control over the situation.
No surprise at all. It was normal thinking Americans who knew that. Only delusional idiots didn’t get the message. What I find astounding is Ted Cruz of all people Said, “Texas is in trouble”. So, what was the take away from that on this site? Complete and utter distain for Cruz to even suggesting a thing. It was pitiful to see. And I am not a Cruz fan at all. But you guys have blinders on and you refuse to take them off.
I’m all but sure Iran is laughing their ass off this morning.
