The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
Clutch those pearls, assholes. Don’t worry, your base is too stupid to cast blame on you. I’m sure your war-criming, pedophile-enabling, constitution-hating ilk will do just fine.
I certainly won’t be voting for anything remotely resembling GOP/MAGA, but I know plenty of people who will because they apparently can’t learn what would actually be good for them. Only the “undecideds” can really make the decision…Hopefully they bother to cast enough intelligent votes.
