The GOP is in a real pickle.
Sure, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Alaska, Texas and Nebraska seem to be slipping away, but Israeli elections are coming up and Netanyahu needs more war to survive.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump last week discussed the possibility of launching a major new operation against Iran before the Israeli and U.S. elections, according to two U.S. officials, one Israeli official and a fourth source with knowledge of the matter. …
A White House official said it’s “false” that Trump and Netanyahu discussed resuming the war. “The President has said that we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections,” the person said. …
Driving the news: Netanyahu has had several calls with Trump over the last two weeks about returning to major combat operations in Iran. …”
So, what do you do?
Do you return to war with Iran, elevate that sore point with voters and potentially spike gas prices if Iran strikes oil infrastructure in the Gulf States or do nothing and be accused of antisemitism?
